CBSSports.com’s Pete Prisco is one of the writer’s that has given an educated guess on where 10 free-agents might land heading into a 2011 season. A 2010 Cowboy was part of the list, and a 2010 Raiders defensive back was picked to land in Big D.
Prisco believes Raiders safety Michael Huff could be a nice addition to Rob Ryan’s new defensive scheme.
“I keep hearing how the Cowboys will make a run at a top corner,” Prisco wrote Thursday . “I think safety is the more pressing need, especially if Mike Jenkins can have a bounce-back year at corner. Huff played well last season after a slow start to his career. He is from Texas, so it might be easier to lure him back home. If Jenkins, Terence Newman and Orlando Scandrick can hold up on the corner, Huff will give the Cowboys someone to help upgrade the coverage on the back end.”
The CBS scribe also mentioned Cowboys defensive end Stephen Bowen in his article. However, he did not have Bowen returning to the Cowboys. He had the 27-year-old joining NFC East rival Washington.
“He might not be a household name, but he played well for the Cowboys last season,” Prisco noted. “And 3-4 teams, which the Redskins are, need players like Bowen. They do the dirty work to free up others to make tackles. Bowen might not cost a ton, which would make him even more attractive if the Redskins were to spend big on (Nnamdi) Asomugha.”
The Cowboys could also be in the running for arguably the best corner on the planet. But Prisco says the “big splash, big money” signing of Asomugha fits perfectly with Daniel Snyder’s free agency plans.
