Just saw our draft picks this year 3-4th's and 3-5th's. No way we do anything in FA IMO. Expect more bottom feeding.
For sure. The philosophy has been to save cap space for our own guys. That will get tested this year with D Law and Hitchens set to hit the market. Martin is set to get paid too. IMO-- they need to keep all 3 guys and then continue to draft well. After next year we can clear Romo (and probably Witten and Dez) off the books and have some decisions to make about Dak/Zeke long term.
IMO-- for 2018, we need to protect ourselves at OT, LBer, S, and get some new blood in at WR. We can accomplish doing that without over-paying for a high priced FA. The two positions I would consider spending on would be a quality vet OT or a legit speed #2 WR.
We only get the bargain bin players anyway.
Hitchens is a distant third consideration to resign for me, especially if you are going to have to pay him starting ILB money to keep him.
I like Hitch. Versatile, dependable, tough, and fundamentally sound. He may not be a flashy player-- but I would pay him to stay for his experience and stability. Lee and Jaylon are both question marks. We need one solid guy at LBer as we head into the offseason, and hopefully we draft a stud in the first 3 rounds as well.
Those draft picks are a good thing! Im fine with not being players in FA, except instead of signing half a dozen scrubs Id prefer we sign a player or two of merit.

I like Hitchens too............ for what he is.
But if someone wants to give him starting ILB money which could be anywhere from $5-7MM a year, I am not getting in a bidding war for that. He's not that good. I'll go find a cheaper LB or two in FA and then look at the draft for help as well.
We will do some more dumpster diving, but that's it.
I'm thinking Ben Benwickirie quality here.
If Earl Thomas is released, we should go after him. He wants to play in Dallas. But it won't happen.
This appears to be our new path which is fine because we have suked so bad in big FA moves which have mostly cost us. I wouldn’t trust myself either . LolJust saw our draft picks this year 3-4th's and 3-5th's. No way we do anything in FA IMO. Expect more bottom feeding.
