Sign One More Free Agent - Your Turn at the Table

[cmd34]

Let's assume the Cowboys have a couple more million available under the cap. Jerry asks you who's the player, what position we need to address, to make this off-season complete before going into the draft. Pick your guy and make your case. Try to be realistic.

This website seems to be pretty up-to-date with who's been signed and who is still out there.

Current Cowboy signings:
Brandon Carr, cornerback
Dan Connor, linebacker
Brodney Pool, safety
Kyle Orton, quarterback
Mackenzy Bernadeau, guard
Nate Livings, guard
Lawrence Vickers, fullback
Kevin Ogletree, wide receiver

I'll post my pick later.

Reggie Nelson?

Not guessing.

He just re-signed with the Bengals.

He just re-signed with the Bengals.

My sourcefriend must have been playing a trick on me.

 

[Midswat]

Immediate reaction upon reading the OP was Kameron Wimbley.

After reviewing the majority of that website for alternatives, I'm still on Kameron Wimbley.

Singing him would give us a more proven pass rusher than Spencer, and he's also a quality run defender. And we'd be able to sign him for less than the near 9 million a year we have dedicated to Spencer currently.

It happens to the best of them.

 

[Sheik]

I'd say Wimbley.

Remove the tag from Spencer, let him walk. Then sign Ted Ginn Jr.

 

[Rev]

Think it would have to be Wimbley.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'd like to gamble on Manny Lawson.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Hell, I'd sign both Manny Lawson and Josh Morgan. Re-cut Ogletree.

 

[dbair1967]

Wimbley if they were going to replace Spencer. Not sure how much of an overall upgrade he is though.

 

[dbair1967]

Hell, I'd sign both Manny Lawson and Josh Morgan. Re-cut Ogletree.

Lawson has already proven he cant be an OLB in the 3-4. Morgan signed with the Skins

They dont need to cut Ogletree to sign anyone. He makes the minimum.

So? Livings proved he can suck, but there's hope for him since we have a different blocking scheme and Bill Callahan to coach him.

Couldn't the same be said for Manny Lawson getting into our 3-4 and having Rob Ryan coaching him?

It's the Parcells' effect, go after former 1st round picks because the ability is there.

You're confusing that with the Al Davis effect.

Nope, the guy just dont fit.

re: Marc Colombo.

we did it once for a guy whose problem was he couldn't get healthy, not that he had been given multiple opportunities and never done anything with them. doesn't really make it a Parcells thing.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

If Tracey porter is on the list Tracey porter

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Nope, the guy just dont fit.

Right, we don't need pass-rushers.

Taking a flyer on a former 1st round choice is a Parcells' thing.

Again, scouts and personnel men once thought highly of his skill set, so the ability is there.
