Could sign soon.

Per some media guy on Twitter.

I always thought Durant was just a solid playmaker. Quick and alert. He's 30 so not sure if he's still as quick but Dallas needs LBs who just make solid stops and fundamentals more than anything right now. The D-line isn't going to help much.

When you have a defense like ours, pretty much anybody is a potential upgrade.

Operation Recreate 2014 continues.

That is so interesting a concept. 2014 was surprising, unique and with a record setting running game, seemed to just define itself as the season progressed. It was the first season in a long time that Jerry or Jason did not overtly talk about emulating parts of the Chargers, the Patriots, or the Seahawks offenses. 2014 was what a lot of us have been wishing for and that is: an offense based on the strengths of the talent (a zone blocking scheme and WCO running game - 50+ catches from RB, and a less desperate passing game).

But to your point, the obsession seems to be a regression. Instead of building with what they have, Jason and Jerry might falling back into "let's copy what they did" which instead of the Patriots and Norv Turners Chargers, the goal is to imitate the 2014 Cowboys. And to that end, Jason will probably have about as much success as he did in replicating the Patriots 2TE offense or the Norv Turner Charger offense with Antonio Gates.

Really hope Elliott just re-defines this team.

Smart move considering Rolando's suspension. Decent stopgap.

Yep. He is about the best that is out there still available, and he is familiar with the system.

What the hell? Two miserable Cowboys "fans" giving credit to the team??? Impossible!

I know. I felt like more of a fan just typing that out.

Two? I tallied five, count em, five "fans" giving credit to the team.

Durant signed to a one year deal.

 

[bbgun]

can't stay healthy, but welcome back (I guess)

 

[Midswat]

Good signing. Actually suprised he's available.

 

[Irving Cowboy]

Actually suprised he's available.

If he is so good, why is he available? /Spags

 

[dbair1967]

Not bad for vet depth. If he can stay healthy he's a decent player and knows the system.
