Signings and the rumors of signings

[jeremysmith214]

If think the signings are very good what Dallas is pulling off. It's going to add depth so we aren't in a position where players hold us hostage for new contracts. The lack of depth in some positions have forced Jerry to restructure contracts that shouldn't have been done

 

[dbair1967]

How does Paea offer "solid upside?" He'll be 29 going into this coming season - which means he should already be in his prime, and he's been a virtual non-factor the past few years.

I'm a cynic when it comes to this team lately, but I don't think any of these moves improved our team at all.

Yeah I don't see Paea as an upgrade over McClain either. To me he's a camp body who might be decent depth.

Fisher is as reliable as all those sourced up CZ idiots, which means he sux ass.

This dude doesn't know jack shit about what's going on with the Cowboys. A true loser in every sense.

He's also the source of my signature line... a "journalist" that misspells things on the RanchReport? Pathetic

 

[MrB]

Did I read correctly that Paea had 49 reps on the bench press at the Combine? Not that, that means anything on the field but damn that a strong motherfucker if it's true. The only other thing I've heard about him is that Marinelli really likes him from their days in Chicago.

TWill really only does 1 thing really good and that's block. A lot of Zeke's long runs were helped out by TWill's blocking down field. So resigning him does help Zeke and I'm perfectly ok with that. Beasley is basically the #2 WR anyways.

The other two guys they signed... meh

Moore is still only 24 despite being a 4 year veteran. He showed flashes of quality whenever I saw him with the Giants. He's from Desoto, so maybe returning home and being around friends and family will help him focus on football and maturing. I can see him being a George Selvie-type standard of player. Not a star, but a decent rotation guy.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

So my contention is with a stronger WR on the outside at the number 2Wr, Dallas would have a better chance to be productive

Totally with you. I'm not saying he's good as a WR. Just that he has a defined role that works for this team, or has so far. It obviously wouldn't be the same if Dez or even Witten got hurt.

Isn't that DE who's in rehab for us from Texas also?

The Patriots made another addition, bringing in former Ravens defensive lineman Lawrence Guy in on a four-year contract worth up to $20 million, Rapoport reported. Guy was ranked as the No. 55 free-agent.

 

[Midswat]

OT DJ Fluker agrees to a one-year deal with the Giants, source says. Former 11th overall pick gets a chance to reset his career.

 

[Midswat]

Come on Jets! J E T S JETS JETS JETS

The Jets have expressed interest in free agent cornerback Brandon Carr, as Connor Hughes of NJ.com writes. Carr, who spent the last five years in Dallas and who will turn 31 in May, contemplated retirement after the Cowboys’ 2016 season came to an end, but he ultimately decided to continue his playing career and test the free agent market.

70% chance they sign him, per my guy.

He left and visited the Jags.

See? His price is coming down! Patience pays off! GIT ER DUN JERRY! [/zoner]

 

[Midswat]

#AZCardinals OLB Alex Okafor is visiting #Saints today, source said, as they continue to try to add defense. Played thru a torn bicep in '16

Ex-#Packers and #Jaguars CB Davon House is on a plane to Pittsburgh to visit with #Steelers today, source said. His market is heating up.

 

[boozeman]

Big money says the Cowboys are done in free agency, at least true free agents. They have signed four and lost the same I believe. They want the comp picks. They might sign a released guy or two.
