The Dallas Cowboys finally might be prepared to admit their $32 million mistake in extending right tackle Doug Free's contract two years ago.
A source who has spoken with free agent Eric Winston and a Cowboys source have both told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Monday that there is mutual interest between the two sides. A source who has spoken to Winston adds that talks are "heating up."
Although the Cowboys also have looked into former Atlanta Falcons right tackle Tyson Clabo, Rapoport is told this "doesn't necessarily mean" the team is ready to cut ties with Free.
We don't know for sure that Free is going to be released.
Pretty sure we know the answer to this.
Really? Jerry has been prone to making good solid football decisions so often that we can assume he will in this case?
Parnell is younger and cheaper, and has proven he can handle the swing tackle role.
If another T is signed or drafted early, Free is going to be released.
Sure, but no T has been signed or drafted.
Breaking news- the draft hasn't happened yet and free agency hasnt ended.
Breaking news, we have had an OL problem for 5 years and one pick has been made to address it. That, and a few blind swings at FA. So, to assume he will all of a sudden get it this year is stupid.
I'm encouraged by how old Jerry looks in that picture.
In the DMN article by David Moore talking about the Cowboys NOT negotiating (now) with Eric Winston, he said "the team prefers to address its OL issues via the draft: (or something along those lines)
Jerry comes from good genes and his Mom died at 90 something. He'll outlive us......we're doomed.
It doesn't matter, u guys waste your time worrying about this. This a family buisness for them, any notion we will ever have outside mgmt is completely false.
Stephen, jr and Charlotte run almost everything right now as it is. charlottes kids and Stephens kids are setting themselves up to be lifelong mgmt.
we just have to hope they luck in to some good players.
I don't think Stephen has his dads ego.
I hang my hat on that.
Not saying Stephen will hire a real GM. But don't think he'll do a lot of the dumb shit that his father does.
