Earl Thomas still a possibility.

Didn't realize the Honey badger is a FA also...a lot of options out there and someone is going to have to take less $ after they start going off the board

BTB: Report: Cowboys not interested in Thomas, Collins or Weddle

I hope this is not true.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Looking at all the safeties hitting the market...Earl, Landon Collins, Weddle, Amos, Joyner, Clinton Dix, Badger...waiting is probably a good strategy, as much as I want Earl in Dallas

A lot of potential upgrades there for sure...

I don't think so. Snooze, you lose. If you have the one you want, go out and get him.

I think it's a little of both. I agree if there is a guy you love then you grab him, but in a cap world the $'s have to make sense. I always feel you don't overpay, because there is always another option out there and I think this safety class screams that.

Two more starting safeties hit the market in the last two days. There are literally 14-15 starting safeties out there. Last year, Tre Boston and Eric Reid didn't have jobs until after the season started. As much as I have lobbied for E.T., if we end up with a guy like Boston for $10 million less than we would have given Thomas per year, I can see the logic. The one thing I don't get right now is the hold up on DLaw's money. We are giving Witten $3.5 and have Lee on the books, for $7 million we could save by letting him go, DLaw is worth more than both of those guys and then some(today, certainly not 5 years ago)

Earl remains my first choice, but I can live with another....maybe two

I think the badger goes to Tampa.

 

[Duane1952]

I saw a report today that Earl wants 2 million more a year than the highest paid safety.

If true, Adios Earl

I agree pay D-law!! I do not like dragging this thing out.

My concern is... they dont sign any. We have all seen glaring positions of need and they just blow it off and roll with a below averge player at the position. Seen this movie too many times.

 

[GNG]

I'd like to see Jerry go for it, sign Earl Thomas for the D and Randall Cobb for the O and let's go

I'd like us to sign Collins because he's younger than Thomas and has more upside. Cobb hasn't stayed healthy the past four seasons so I hope we don't sign him.

The draft could help at those positions of need.

 

[GNG]

Now that the Giants have elected to make Landon Collins a free agent, will he be on the Cowboys' radar?

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

The odd thing about earl is we were going t give up a 2nd rounder and then obviously pay him. Now we are not going to even try to sign him?

Who knows what we end up doing, but I suspect doing the same for and now paying Cooper plays a role

They pass on safety in the early rounds every year. They don't seem to value the position.

Landon Collins is one Hell of a football player, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a bigger contract than Thomas because of the age difference
