Who is going to be our BJ Raji?

Danny Shelton

Shelton should be considered.

I sure think so. Big, athletic.huge man. 335 lbs on the inside stopping that run and eating up double teams.

Yep he was good in passing situations. But his career was cut short due to the toll his body took of being an undersized nt in a 3-4

This! Being undersized by 20 pounds or more will take a toll after a while.

Danny Shelton

Great choice

Danny Shelton (NE), Jordan Phillips (BUF), Shelby Harris (DEN), Bea Allen (Tampa), Michael Pierce (BAL) are all

1. Free agents
2. Rated higher than any of our DT's by a substanial margin
3. All are estimated to be in the 3 to 5 million dollar a year range (affordable).

This is when you tell Crawford at 8 million this season to kick rocks and sign 2 of the 5 above. Use another draft pick for depth

Raji was a big part of McCarthy and the Packers' super bowl run. Who is going to be the Cowboys' version of Raji?

One play i won't forget was against Skins when Rat was pushed back 9yds by a C/G double team and watching him get up looking completely defeated. I was thinking to myself no way this guy lasts long playing nt. Next season was the feud with JJ and his mystery injury.

Agree because not all plays you will be man on man, now you have the double team and that will deplete you very quickly.

I'll be amazed if some of those guys are in that range.

Phillips signed a 4.5mil prove it contract last year, prior to his career outing. 9.5 sacks as a DT doesn't equal a 3-5mil aav for a new contract.

Michael Pierce is a well known plugger who has weight issues. Those aside, he is a good NT. Doubt he signs for cheap.

Hayden is another Cowboys legend.

I've got no problem investing some moolah into the DT/NT position. Crawford is open to a pay cut right?

Ratliff would've been considered one of the best UT's of his era if he'd have played the 3 tech w/ a good NT next to him.
