    Safety Otogwe on the market...

    He's no better than Elam or Sensabaugh at this point. The team needs an upgrade, but OJ ain't it.

    Cowboys going after Carl Nicks **UPDATE** Nicks a Buccanneer

    This would be awesome, though I really wanted Mario Williams.

    Terence Newman Cut

    I can only hope and pray Jerry Jones doesn't find a way to re-sign either of these wastes of space, or better yet they sign with Washington and Philly. Newman had one amazing year in 2005 and was dog crap every other season he played.

    You can only pick two at 12:01 am Tuesday morning

    Williams and Nicks but no one team could afford both. So make it Williams and whomever else they can find. Ben Grubbs and Richard Marshall would be nice. Then Dallas can approach the draft and get the best player, like Keuchly instead of reaching for Janoris Jenkins.

    Cowboys need to send a message about underachieving veteran players

    Jerry Jones will do everything in his power to keep Terence Newman on the team. Newman is Jones' stake in the ground during the entire Bill Parcells' led run. Jones gave him a huge contract after 2009, and to release him now would be doubly admitting failure that he was wrong in 2003 and...

    mario williams

    Williams would be a 4-3 cornerstone at LDE. Change to a 4-3 and make everyone on the defense better except Anthony Spencer, whom you'd have to rescind your franchise tag offering from. Imagine passing downs with Ware, Ratliff, and Williams rushing from just the front four? A guy like Victor...

    An uncapped year will act as a reset for our franchise

    They blitz more because they have great coverage people. That's football 101. And those blitzes don't translate into sacks or even pressures. Watch them and you can see opposing quarterbacks have limited choices. It's not just Revis, either, but he's the main reason. New York just plays...

    Spread the ball around

    Exactly! You throw more to them by design (and not just screens) and defenses will be left guessing which lanes to take away from Romo. A guy like Felix Jones can destroy you if he gets the ball quickly enough in space. The defense is forced to cover the whole field, short, medium, and deep...

    Spread the ball around

    I wish they could cut Roy Williams, but I imagine when football resumes there will still be a salary cap of some kind and Roy's cap impact if cut is something crazy, like 12 million. Dallas already has a huge amount committed to players on the roster, so the team can't both cut Williams and...

    Piecing Together A D-Line Free Agent List

    I bolded the Franchised players. Not sure any other tag will mean anything when the lockout lifts. This list is not exhaustive. DT's and 3-4 DE's: Haloti Ngata (BAL)(F) Brandon Mebane (SEA) Aubrayo Franklin (SF)(F) Pat Williams (MIN) Alan Branch (ARZ) Gabe Watson (ARZ) Shaun Smith (KC) John...

    Instantly evaluate this draft class....

    Tyron Smith - Really bugs me the team didn't trade down and hedge their bets with an extra 2nd round pick. That said what's done is done and I think this guy has potential. I just wish I didn't have to say that about the #9 pick overall. No one knows how he'll play with all that extra weight...

    Stage Set For 'Boys To Take OT

    You are clearly desperate for Smith to be the answer that fixes our Boys. I don't think he's worth a 1st round pick. If you had ti gauge based on his ability to get to the second level when the play is designed to do that, then yeah, he can block the Hell out of a linebacker. But any DL with...

    New idea for Cowboys at No. 9

    Of course the #1 need on this team is OL, but the draft is what you use to build your team, not fix immediate problems. Sometimes you can do both, but this year's draft class has below average quality on the OL. We can't force the draft to produce something it can't. The best value is in the...

    Stage Set For 'Boys To Take OT

    I thought the objective was to win football games, not demote players you think are going pro. The reality is Cowboys fans want Smith to be the answer to their prayers, but he's not. This draft doesn't have anything close to an elite LT prospect. Carimi's ceiling position is RT and Smith...

    Stage Set For 'Boys To Take OT

    Tyron Smith is a project who wasn't even a LT on his college team. The value of this draft is on the DL, but unfortunately Dallas sits in a dead spot where thy can only hope a true top talent happens to fall to them. The OL value is in the bottom half of the 1st round and the top half of the...

    New idea for Cowboys at No. 9

    I prefer Quinn, a trade down, or the best true 3-4 DE prospect available to Smith.
