They are much harder to find in the short term, especially in this draft. Keeping Quinn is vital IMO, unless we want to take a step backwards in terms of the rush.Pass rush is always better
Bryon Jones was once an average Free Safety whose best ability was his covering the TE. Kris Richard moved him immediately to corner and he had his best season as a Cowboy. He followed it up with a strong season last year coming off hip surgery. Highly durable, has never missed a game, great locker room guy. As a shadow, press corner, very good, anything else very average.
Robert Quinn was acquired via trade with the Dolphins last year. He was coming off of an average sack year, but with the Cowboys he registered 11.5 sacks in just 14 games due to a suspension to start the year. Throughout last year, he certainly looked like an elite, edge rusher. He does have an injury history, but hasn't missed a healthy start in two seasons. Not a great run defender, more of a very good pass rusher.
Both players have some question marks. Fa dollars at each respective position is extremely costly. Byron due to his age, is going to cost much more on the open market, where Quinn is looking one last big contract.
As of fa and the draft, this year's class has more quality corners then edge rushers available, especially in the draft. You aren't going to replace either's production.
In my opinion, Robert Quinn is more of the wildcard, due to his age, injury past, where we know what we are getting with Bryon Jones, an durable, consistent starter. However, the deciding factor who makes my game changing plays? Robert Quinn and it's not even close.
The draft has a lot of CB's, while next to no good edge rushers. Go with Quinn.
Especially if the rumors are true that Jones will get overpaid.

I would say Byron because we have more depth at DE and Randy coming back.
The only capacity he has shown tobe unteliable is passing drug tests. If that is not a factor, I don't think your statement is true at all.Just cannot rely on Gregory in any capacity.
Gee I missed where it was announced that Gregory was resigned or for that matter reinstated. Ya ya if the new CBA is ratified it will open the door for him to get reinstated but that by no means it's a certainty that the Cowboys resign him. Most talking heads say it's a very long shot that it happens.

How would you guys rate Quinn's run defense? Didn't really notice he was bad or anything.
