So far in free agency we haven't done shit to improve our team other than the DL from PHI
other than that we just resigned our own players that no other team would sign
So no back up QB, no RB, no CB, and no pass rusher!
Looks like we are pinning next season solely on the draft or even worse we are standing pat with the team we already had with the insane thinking that they will be "good enough"
I sure hope wheeler and dealer JJ can make some moves and get shit done next month
I don't have high hopes for an impressive draft or for our ability to actually develop our draft picks unless it's an o lineman

Hmm...well a few years ago everyone said the only way Dallas could ever have a good OL was to go out and spend a bunch of money on free agents because they couldn't develop anyone internally.

He had 3 ints total over the last 3 seasons, none last year.
I guess in a way he would have fit right in with the Brandon Carr's, Morris Claiborne's and Barry Church's here

Speaking of Tyron, how long until he gets disgusted with that absurdly team-friendly deal he signed and holds out?

Cowboys restructure Tyron Smith's contract, create more cap room
Todd Archer ESPN Staff Writer
IRVING, Texas -- After redoing the contract of defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford last week, the Dallas Cowboys reworked the contract of left tackle Tyron Smith on Monday to open up more salary-cap space, according to sources.
The Cowboys lowered Smith's $10 million base salary to $1 million, turning the difference into a signing bonus to create $7.2 million in room. The move adds $1.8 million to Smith’s cap figures over the next four years.
The Cowboys have signed seven players in the last week, chewing up roughly $13 million in cap space.
The Cowboys can gain more room by either cutting Brandon Carr or signing him to a new deal at a lower cost. They could also look to restructure other contracts, like those of Tony Romo or Dez Bryant.
The Cowboys were willing to push higher cap figures in the future on Smith and Crawford because of their ages. Smith does not turn 26 until December. Crawford, who signed a five-year extension at the start of last season, turns 27 in September.

Yet we still have Carr and his huge contract to deal with. I'm assuming they are waiting till June 1st to cut his ass to save the extra money
If we keep Carr and don't restructure his contract that would be the worst possible scenario for us
We keep a useless CB that has one of the highest contracts in the NFL

They can cut him now and designate his charge comes off June 1st.
Saints did that last week with their corner turd in Brandon Browner.
Not us.
Tells me we are trying to negotiate with him.

He plays and practices all the time, I bet he doesn't miss any workouts either. I think one time he might have stayed late to help pick up the practice footballs too.

That could be.
It could also be they want to make sure they have his replacement before dumping him.
I bet if we draft Ramsey at 4 or maybe Jackson at 34 (if he made it that far), Carr is forced to take a massive paycut or gets cut.

That's exactly what they're doing. If they don't draft Ramsey and none of the other CB's they like fall to them in each round then they will end up keeping Carr. If they haven't negotiated a new deal by then, there is no incentive for him to take a paycut.
