I would be shocked if Rico got $6M. If he comes in under $5M, I would be good with bringing him back and still drafting a rookie
At least we didn't give up a 4th for this one lol. It's like they are throwing darts in the Dart, just sign as many 1st and 2nd round busts as you can and hope one pans put
I'd give Rico $10Mish over 2 years and play both of them. I might still draft a RB if one I loved was there but at least they wouldn't have to force it. They could do it if they felt the talent and value was there when they were on the clock like a draft should go. Right now we are still in desperation mode at RB.
RB and corner are definitely state of emergency. If we bring back Rico ro pair with Williams, a kid like Blue from Texas around round 5 would work for me. A kid that can take it to the house
I don't want him back. I want a rookie RB since we signed Williams.
Rico is better than Williams. Williams would be a better 3 than 2
And I just can't remember when one of those busts ever did anything. These dummies still are thinking quantity over quality. They could have brought Gholston back for what they signing two busts for. It's like the grasping at straws. They obviously learned nothing
That's 100% right. Spend the money they spent to bring back Lewis and Golston and if you're scared to spend more money, draft someone late or sign a UFA.
My problem with that is Williams was not good last year and they had some other guys who played better than him in the same situation and who were younger and less experienced who weren’t expected to be as good. A rookie is a crap shoot year one. So that could leave us even worse off than last year. But, if we hit on the draft pick then it works out great. This is what happens when you have so many holes and don’t fill them in free agency. You need to get lucky in the draft and there are only so many early round picks to fill them with.
Yeah Williams hasn't been the same player since his knee injury
I just think this is the right approach. Osa was the closest must resign we had. Perhaps Turpin was #2.
Here is my problem with it. Every time the coaching staff changes we assume they know the problems and will solve them and then a few years later we are thankful they too are finally gone. These are all nice moves for a team competing for a SB that knows it's season can be derailed by injury if they don't have a good backup in place or for a team that has already packed in the season and is looking to find some pieces to help build for the future while saving up cap space. Problem is I don't see the Cowboys as being in either of those groups. We haven't made the team better. We are not even close to competing for our own division let alone anything else. I've never seen so many high level DL available in one free agency season and we signed none of them. We signed two DL guys who will go into the season somewhere between roster bubble and game day bubble. They might have been the two worst run defending DL available in free agency. That's not how you build a winning football team in the NFL and certainly not when your problem for years has been stopping the run and the lack of a dominant inside defender.
I would prefer Jeanty and then if Blue is there in round five I do it. This would give them two dynamic weapons in the backfield. They can add defensive tackles in round 2 and 3. In the meantime they need to focus on WR and CB in FA. I am real high on Butler as a guy that can come in and start at CB opposite Bland. They still need a slot corner. maybe Carson learns how to play at the NFL level. I going to be pissy if these morons mess up Butler like they did with Charvarious Ward.. one of the dumbest trades they ever done
Kenneth Murray coming over from Titans. Good signing.
Dallas sending a 2025 6th round pick either #188 or #211 to Tennessee for Murray and 2025 7th round pick #237. going to cost us either $5.99M for 2025 or $7.14M
