Shefter- Cowboys to sign DT Henry Melton

[Sheik]

It's actually worse than what I thought.

 

[Sheik]

When I say worse, I'm talking about if his option is picked up.

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

My main concern is that Year 1 after an ACL tear is usually a wash. They're usually not themselves until Year 2. Also, if he's so good, why is he available?™

I hear ya Spags.....

I pretty much nailed this.

I pretty much nailed your mom last night.

 

[Sheik]

My mom wouldn't fuck your retarded ass.

She would leave a restaurant if you were there drooling all over your bib and struggling to slurp your soup.

That made no sense whatsoever.

 

[Sheik]

Why? I'm telling you she wouldn't even eat with you. So she definitely wouldn't have sex with you.

 

[Jon88]

Well I would hope she wouldn't eat me. Is your mom a cannibal?

Awesome sources I guess

I hate to even say it, but I'm cautiously optimistic about this offseason so far. I hate to see Ware go, but from a cap standpoint, it needed to be done. That was why I was talking about trading him for awhile now (still think they could have gotten something for him)

Melton on a 1 year prove it deal with club options is a good way to go about business with a guy coming off of injury and off the field concerns. Curious to see what the numbers end up being.

Weeden is a smart move just from the standpoint that they gave him minimum dollars/no signing bonus. Worst case, he's another arm that can actually let you run your offense in camp while Romo recovers that you cut with no real repercussions. Best case, he pushes Orton off the roster, saves the team a few bucks and acts as a bridge for a year in the post Romo years when they draft someone.

I don't really get the Mincey or McClain deals. I understand depth, but why a multi year deal for Mincey for anything more than the minimum?

They've held off restructuring either bad contracts and making them worse (Carr) or aging players (Witten) to give them cap flexibility in the future. They should be in much better shape for '15 and '16 now.

Still a lot of work to do. The DL needs a lot of pieces yet. They are going to need a tackle this year or next. Going to need another LB this year or next. The safeties still suck and they don't appear inclined to do anything about it.

Need to have a good draft. Value your picks. Quit throwing away a 2nd (which should be a starter on an 8-8 team) on moving or luxury picks.

I'm with ya... so far the offseason looks pretty good. There's a lot more work to be done, but if the team has crossed the threshold into rebuilding this is how they have to do it. Of course, next time Jerry opens his mouth he'll claim we are aiming for a championship and all this work will be out the window.

 

[Jon88]

We aren't out of the woods yet.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Melton might not be here long term though.

Still, signing Melton gives us more options on draft day.

I'd still draft a 3-tech, but later in the draft. Say 3rdish round.

You would be amazed at how few there are in this draft. A lot of 1-tech in comparison. Sutton might be the only other guy ranked in the top 10 DTs by most lists that would qualify (not counting Easley who is hurt). Nix, Jernigan (debateable), Hageman, DaQuan Jones, Anthony Johnson all look like they would struggle to do what we ask that RDT to do.

Quarles might fit in that 3rd round range. Jay Bromley and Ken Bishop are worth looking at, but way later than the 3rd-ish round.

 

[NoShame]

I noticed the same... The DLine as a whole is kinda weak this year. At least there's not too many guys I'm crazy about anyway. No homo.

I like Quarles.

I also don't see many quick twitch DEs. Looks like a good year for a strong side guy
