Who wanted the Cowboys to sign Freeney?

[Staubacher]

He was cut by the Seahawks.

This is what you're down to in defending all things Jerrah?

 

[links18]

i thought we were resigning Ware for the stretch playoff run? Are we still on track for that?

 

[john van brocklin]

He was cut by the Seahawks.

Would like them to have spent more on better talent in their prime during the last off season.
This dumpster diving for players in free agency in not working out !

 

[Nightman]

This happens with most big name players people here rue.

But when that player doesn't pan out people ignore that they ever held those views. When one gets away who has success people claim supernatural talent acquisition skills and slam the front office.

Just like one year they praise a draft class (2016) and the next they start cherry picking missed players.

3 sacks in 4 games isn't a bust...... they needed secondary and RB help....cool story tho

 

[Idgit]

My grandfather was a big fan of Freeney's. Before he died 6-7 years ago.

 

[LocimusPrime]

No different than those who defend every crap FA signing the front office makes and then act like they expected them to suck and it's OK because all the young guys are going to be better anyway and the older guys won't "stop progress". Or called signing a guy like Calais Campbell a waste if we did it and then disappear when Campbell goes on and starts dominating the league. Or when they say we are fine at the 1 Tech and don't need to look at trading for aa guy like Dareus because he's overrated and then disappear when the Jags go from the worst run D in the league to one of the three best after his addition.

It works both ways.

That's a mighty fine post

 

[TimHortons]

Can he play LB or S? I think people wanted to sign him because pass rush was assumed to be the weakest link on the defense before this season started. With the emergence of Lawrence and Irving, pass rush is now probably the strongest part of the defense.

 

[kevm3]

Bring him in for depth's sake. We didn't need Bowman because we had Sean Lee right? Sign him for a year deal. What do we have to lose? If he doesn't pan out then he's off the books.

 

[Direwolf63]

No longer matters. Signed by the Lions.

 

[ksadler1]

I'd rather sign Ware

 

[haleyrules]

He would have been great about 10 yrs ago.

 

[Nightman]

I'd rather sign Ware

Ware and Romo ain't coming back

 

[Chuck 54]

I have no interest in any older players unless they play LB or OT.

 

[ksadler1]

Ware and Romo ain't coming back

Not arguing that at all. Just saying that I'd rather have Ware.....

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Not me.

They would have had to invest in one of those medical-emergency buttons that he could press when he fell down.

I’m confused my this thread. Freeny would be a close 4th on the roster in sacks just behind $10M Ty Crawford with 4 sacks....oh and Freeney has played in just 3 games. He would have been a smart cheap signing. But we don’t do that

[Bullflop]

Although he signed with the Lions, we didn't need him anyhow. Our pass rush is on the right track and getting better. We're good now.

Benny Mayowa and Taco Charlton have been good enough for you?

Also, have you watched those 2 play and do you have eyeballs? Our starters have been solid, our depth on the d line is still bad

Freeney is but a shell of what he's been in the past. Our DL is young and developing into a force. Kindly can the rude dude BS, OK? We have others besides Mayowa and Charlton who are contributing in spades. How convenient that you would choose to accentuate the tamest pass rushers we have at present to mention as our representative d-linemen!
