He was rated the 11th best pass protector in 2020. I think it's mainly a salary dump for NE. We have enough good DL to make a trade or possibly give them a mid round pick Wynn is an option, FA Eric Fisher could play LT, or Jason Peters could play RT and Steele could go to left. Or they could move Tyler Smith to tackle.
Luckily the Jones boys have already penciled him in playing all 17 games next season.
The odds of that lining up are not likely. Plus our DL aren't going to bring back much and we need a starting OT (or OG if we move T Smith 73) not a bottom of the roster guy. There are still guys out there they can just sign. If it's a trade it's like for picks not players I would think
Unfortunately based on how our front office operates, I'm guessing it's the latter and they will tell us how this was the plan all along and how smart they are to have drafted T Smith 73 and really wanted him as an OT all along. Who cares that he will likely struggle at LT and McGovern next to Biadasz will be as bad as it was last year. After all, they are Football guys
Were going to release good players fron the DL, they can be traded for good Ol other teams will have to cut.
I wouldn't categorize the DL we will be releasing as "good". Heck, I think we would be better off adding a good DT still. Even if another team likes one of our bottom DL it has to be a team with an OL that we like enough to protect our $40M QB and they don't want. How often does that happen in Football? Are we getting a starting OL for for Carlos Watkins or Basham?
Ferguson looks like a better blocker than schultz. Cowboys need to sign a veteran and they need to do it today.
Sounds like they might not make a move till after week 1. They have to have Tyron on the roster week 1 to put him on IR. The problem with waiting, to me, is the schedule starts out Tampa and Cinncy. It seems like Jerry and Stephen are trying to prove they are the smartest guys in the room and not do the obvious thing, which is sign a solid LT like Eric Fisher. Over 25 years and counting since it has worked out for them
yep...smash mouth and quick hitches, slants to get playmakers in space.
Supposedly Empi has done a good job in the interior. Farniok has looked good in the pre season. Farniok bullied some of those Chargers in pass protection and does a real good job at getting to the 2nd level at run blocking. I dont trust Biadz or McGovern much. Josh Ball does not look ready yet. Ball looks better than Chaz Green though and has potential. Waletzko is the one I want to see more of.
25 years of idiocy when it comes to the salary cap. Fisher would be a smart move so it probably won't happen.
He didn't say no, and even told Jerry what to do
They also need to call the Rams who own his rights
thats not a no!
He walked it back last night, saying the Cowboys never contacted him. It was media amd or fans asking the question.
