Which free agents would you like to be signed in the next 72 hours?

[charron]

Ryan, smith, griffen.

Gotta shore up the secondary or we'll get eaten up alive.

 

[Silverstar]

Griffen...with Tank on the other side I think he can get 10+ sacks just like Quinn did.
Smith...big physical corner with a ring and lots of playoff experience could be a leader in our young secondary.

 

[Sandyf]

For me:
Ronald Darby CB - 1 year deal has upside potential
Shelby Harris DT - should come less than projected now, good value signing
Clooney DE - only if they get him for no more than $15 million
Rashard Higgins WR - would be a good weapon
Tyler Eifert TE - would take him on 1 year deal at VET minimum

Might be best for a DE in draft.

Ryan
Griffen

this

then get 1T like Davon Hamilton in rd 3 of the draft to pair with Woods

George Clooney is playing in the NFL?

 

[Oh_Canada]

Daryl Worley, Poe, Griffen.

This will allow them to draft anyone they want in the first.

 

[Chuck 54]

It is always painful for fans when the signing stops for a week or two or even three, but I’m in no hurry. If any of these guys were in demand for the money, they’d be signed. Laying low and letting them realize that no one wants to meet their price is smart. Roll back around in a couple weeks and make them a fair offer.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Griffen.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

There are still some former pro-bowlers and very talented players sitting out there on the open market, and the next 72 hours could be crucial for the Cowboys to improve this team. I’m a firm believer that our offense is pretty set (we need a slot WR but one can be found in this deep WR draft), so all resources should be allocated to improve the defense and there are a lot of holes to fill on that side of the ball. Defensive line should be the main target because it’s extremely hard to draft a young guy and plug him in right away on the DLine and for him to be successful. Here are some players that should be considered (in no particular order):

1.) Jadeveon Clowney

I’m not nearly as high on Clowney as most people might be, he’ll command a very high price tag and he has a problem playing all 16 games & his production was way down last year but he’s a better all-around DE than Quinn could ever dream of being.

Clowney hasn't fully lived up to the hype of being the No. 1 overall pick, but he's been productive. He has 32 sacks in six NFL seasons with 80 quarterback hits, 252 pressures and three Pro Bowl appearances. He has also graded out exceptionally well via Pro Football Focus, specifically over the past two seasons. Clowney finished with 31 tackles, three sacks, four forced fumbles, 13 quarterback hits and 47 pressures in 13 games in 2019.

His contract demands are probably way too high for the Boys, and I don’t know that his production meets his financial demands.

2.) Logan Ryan

Ryan would be an excellent value signing for any team that wants to add him to their secondary. He finished with 113 tackles, 18 passes defensed, four interceptions and four forced fumbles in all 16 games.

Opposing quarterbacks threw for five touchdowns and had an 88.7 passer rating targeting Ryan. Sure Ryan is coming off a down year, but he is just 29 and a reliable starter for any team that needs a cornerback.

3.) Everson Griffen

This guy is super high on my personal list. He is extremely solid against the run and has the ability to get to the QB. He would be another huge upgrade over Quinn who is terrible vs. the run and would make this defense better by taking some pressure off the linebackers and allowing them to flow to the ball like they did in 2018. Quinn put far too much pressure on the LBs because he’s flat out terrible and had a mission to simply rack up sacks and get a big contract.

4.) Jimmy Smith

While Smith turns 32 this offseason, there's no denying his talent. The former first-round pick has spent all nine NFL seasons with the Ravens, and has been a key cog in Baltimore's secondary for quite some time. His injury history needs to be taken in consideration, however, as he hasn't played in all 16 games since the 2015 season. In 2019, he recorded 30 combined tackles, one sack, six passes defensed and one interception in nine games played.

If you're looking for a veteran who can still add something special to the secondary, Smith is your guy

5.) Shelby Harris

Harris finally earned an opportunity to start in Denver last season, and made the most of it. Playing all 16 games, Harris finished with 49 tackles, six sacks and nine passes defensed while rotating on the edge and at nose tackle.

Harris only played 60% of the Broncosdefensive snaps, but he provides much-needed versatility to any defensive line. Harris may cost more than expected for a player that is inconsistent at times, but his upside may be worth the investment.

6.) Markus Golden
7.) Michael Bennett
8.) Suh
9.) Cameron Wake
10.) Derek Wolfe
11.) Snacks

I would love to have logan and harris. but cost too much.

 

[ultron]

I would love to have logan and harris. but cost too much.

Depends on how you look at it, they can easily restructure DLaw, Martin, and Tyron. Cut Crawford - doing all of that frees up about $25-$30mil. This is a win now small window league.

 

[ultron]

Nice list

Griffin or Harris

if Snacks, then that’s ok. It will at least quiet some of the board who hear “defensive tackle” and the word “snacks” and fall in love

Snacks and McCoy could be a nasty combo in the middle - probably the best duo the boys have had since the 90’s and they’ve been so weak in the middle for a while now. Antwan woods is no slouch either, so they may feel good about what they have.

 

[fivetwos]

I wanted Harrison signed the day he was released.

He cant at all be asking for big money. He will end up signing for 1/3m somewhere, and around mid October we will...well, most of us....will be like....

Sure glad we couldnt spend 3m on Harrison or do better than 2/17 for Chris Harris....when an injury or three has seriously exposed a defense that wasnt any good to begin with.

 

[Carson]

Read last night the Cowboys spoke with Vonn Bell. His asking price must be crazy high, as I am not sure why he is unsigned

Link? Zero reason to talk with Bell.

Woods, Clinton-Dix and Bell are all more than capable starters in this league

1-3m for snacks? My guess is he gets around 4.5-6mil somewhere.

 

[leeblair]

Keenum signed with the Browns and Mariota with the Raiders at the very start of free agency.

Cleveland finally has a quarterback. They could do some damage.

 

[fivetwos]

1-3m for snacks? My guess is he gets around 4.5-6mil somewhere.

Maybe, yeah. I can see it. He is definitely worth it.

Probably holding out for a multi year deal.

Either way, he is a guy that will play at a level higher than what you're paying him.

He is still an elite run stopper.

Point being, just missing on a guy we could use for a million or two.

[Silly]

Ndamukong Suh and Jadeveon Clowney. forget about puff and his brother they are not dependable.

 

[Cowboys22]

I really wish they would just go for it this year. If you look down the road to 2022, they basically only have 4 OL, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1DE, 1 LB, and likely 1 QB signed to massive deals. Of course they will have the draft picks still on rookie deals but the future of this roster is very bleak due to all the bloated salaries to slightly above average players who don’t produce to their pay grade.

 

[Bullflop]

Griffen would suit me to a "T" and Ryan would, also. To satisfy our FO, cutting their salary demands in half would help!
