If we don't add anyone I suspect Watkins will be in the mix again. He was average at best last year and for his career, but average for our DTs gets you starting or at least in a rotation. Also, I think Bohanna will improve. I'm not writing him off after one year. We also seem to always have an UDFA in the mix at DT each year. Hill I'd cut and would have cut long ago
They are still losing their own draft picks because they low ball every player.I think they definitely sign some guys. Hopefully not just vet minimums. We still have holes and we have plenty of cap space to fill a couple of them. Stupid Stephen's idea of saving all your cap space for your current guys who will be become FAs in a couple of years is actually worse for the team than Jerry's drunken soldier approach to free agency. Can someone just explain to them that there is a happy medium between the two.
Two idiots that don't have a clue running this team.
I would not have drafted Hill in round 2. I would have drafted that safety thornhill instead. At least Thornhill is a starter.
cowboys are allergic to safeties
I don't remember them low balling too many of our own FAs. They offered Gregory the same as he took from Denver and I'm glad he is gone. His actual production never earned that deal IMO
exactly. only thing different was the Cowboys wanted him to be held responsible for any misdeeds (drugs: marijuana) and Denver didn't
I think William's,Fowler and Armstrong can replace Gregory's production.
True, although Quinn is slowly changing that. Kearse and Hooker are not horrible. The one I am interested in now is Markquese Bell. I really thought he would be drafted. He is fast and tackles well. Likely a special teams impact player
Donavan Wilson is a good S too, to bad he's as fragile as Lee.
I liked Gregory,but not as much as Denver did. When I first read Dallas signed Gregory I thought they overpaid. Then 2 hours later I hear he went to Denver . That contract is too much money for his 16 career sacks and he rarely played. Always hurt and or suspended.
I think the regression was not due to losing those two along the Oline but rather realizing our line was not going to be back to that elite level, no matter if those two stayed or we got two new ones to take their place. I can't say if that is what is felt by the pundits and talking heads or if they assume Collins was still 2017-18 Collins and our line was still considered one of the best in their eyes.
you are right about new smith. Hopefully he will learn once he gets flagged in practice. That stuff he got away with in College won't work in the NFL. Especially playing for the Cowboys.
This could be a transitional season. I think there is some good players still on the roster. The depth though is not great especially at DT. There is a lack of talent at DT. Possibly Bohanna and Ridgeway can develop,but I don't know if they will

I saw that and got a chuckle out of it. No one is trading for Trysten Hill IMO. But then again, there are still websites out there selling the narrative that Hill was good in 2020. Some of these trade articles are pretty far out there.Here's an unsubstantiated trade idea, id be happy with.
Trysten Hill for Nkeal Harry.
Neither player has panned out with the team that drafted them. Maybe they both play better elsewhere.
Cowboys Trade ‘Rumor’: Trysten Hill for Patriots Weapon
The Cowboys are OK on the defensive line, but could they trade Trysten Hill for a weapon on offense?
I agree no one is trading for Hill, but then who will trade for Harry?
3 absolutely ridiculous overpay contracts this year and 2 of them were by Cleveland. yet people are pretending the Cleveland front office is good now. The other was the Kirk contract. You screw the whole league when you do stupid things like that And you set your team back years if they backfire like they probably will
I did not like that he was tagged so if they cave,it will be another mistake. I would let him hold out
