If he us an option, just line up with 10.
IRVING, Texas -- Antwaun Molden is not the only defensive back the Cowboys will be working out today at Valley Ranch. Four more will be making auditions to fill a roster spot that will be open because of Barry Church’s season-ending Achilles tear.
Tyrone Culver, who spent the last four years with Miami, Eric Frampton, who spent the last five years in Minnesota, Don Carey, who played last year for Detroit, and Aaron Rouse, the MVP of last year’s UFL Championship Game, will be looking for a job, according to a source.
Culver played in the preseason finale against the Cowboys on Aug. 29 and made two tackles. He was among the Dolphins’ final cuts. Carey was waived/injured by the Lions because of a hamstring injury and played in only five games last year. He started 10 games for Jacksonville in 2010 and had 55 tackles and an interception. Molden is a cornerback by trade, but the Cowboys will give him a look at safety with his 6-1, 198-pound frame.
Frampton has not started a game in his career and has mostly been a special teamer.
Rouse has not played in the NFL since 2009 with the New York Giants when he recorded a sack of Tony Romo. He has 18 starts in his career with New York and Green Bay with four interceptions.
The Cowboys are also considering re-signing Mario Butler, who was cut last week from the active roster to make room for linebacker Orie Lemon. He could also be brought back to the practice squad.

That is not a very appealing list. Rouse maybe..?

Rouse is tall as hell. Might have Patrick Watkins syndrome though.

Rouse is roughly the same size as Kam Chancellor, who he played with at VA Tech. Rouse played decent at times for the Packers. He's actually looked solid in the few UFL games I've seen him.
Speaking of Packer safeties, I wonder if Nick Collins is healthy. I read somehwere he didn't think he was done with football.

Nick Collins was a top 5 safety, that'd be awesome if he could come back.
I knew we shoulda signed Laron Landry

For real though Ron Ryan is paid millions a year and he's got 2 1st round picks, And a $50M FA. Get someone back there and coach em up.
These off the street guys are gonna get torched by our schedule

I'm all for bringing in (real) competition though. If random street guy can't outplay Silva then you're right, get rid of him. I just don't want to be stuck with McCray and Silva and half-a-player Matt Johnson because we don't really consider bringing in outside help.
