Diggs, Bland and Revel next year, no need for a $13M 4th. Now, if he has a big year, they can always bring him back and trade Diggs...

Even with none of those guys you can't pay this guy that amount. He isn't worth it

I think it's possible he has a good season. It's very possible Diggs does not. Jerry even spoke the other day of how disappointed they were in his previous rehab effort. He better come back strong this time

I think the most important thing is that declining to pay a backup a $13M option doesn't necessarily mean they are dumping him. He will be a free agent and they can extend/re-sign him just like any other free agent. CB was a desperate need. I thought it was a great trade for them. They didn't give up very much and at the time they didn't have Revel. Diggs and Butler are hurt and they had just lost Lewis so they really just had Bland. The other starter was I guess Carson? Nickel Back depth chart was Mukuamu (if even plays CB) or Kemon Hall? So at the time of the trade he was a week one starter and still might be depending on injuries - I consider 3 CBs really as starters. His cap hit is only $2.6M and we didn't give up all that much in the trade either:

the Cowboys sent a 2026 seventh-round selection to the Bills in addition to a 2025 fifth-rounder. Meanwhile, Dallas acquired Elam and the Bills' 2025 sixth-round pick

The draft is a crap shoot and Revel only played one year of Division I at a smaller School and is coming off a major injury, so we don't know for sure if he will be a starter. But, assuming he will be, does the team want to pay both Diggs and Bland? If not we still need CBs. I really liked this Butler kid in the limited action he saw, but he is still an unknown. Maybe Elam battles him for the 3/4 spots and is resigned.

Say what you want about the football player, but he's a great man

Revel is a hard working kid. I predict when he is back to 100% he will be the best corner on the team, Diggs and Bland included

hell it was our team doctor that did his surgery. Pretty sure the Cowboys would know his health.

I have no doubt he gets back to 100%. By all accounts, he is like Overshown, will do anything to get back on the field. If it's me, I take it slow with both kids. They are great talents. I think we all hope the Cowboys have a winning season, but it's also fair to say it will be tough for us to overtake Philly or Detroits roster this season. That's why I'm not worried that we didn't reach to draft a WR or RB1 or NT. The draft didn't fall that way. But we got a couple of kids that will start and a couple that will rotate. That's a Hell of a draft.
We still need a WR(or 2) and a bell cow back. I think Guyton and Mazi have this year to play up to their draft status. I have high hopes that with the new OC and OL coach and scheme that Guyton will take a jump. If they do, cross two more gaping holes off, if not, then we have 4 things to address next offseason. Get Schottys scheme locked in this season, see if you can move forward with Mazi and Guyton, get Diggs, Overshown and Revel back healthy and 26-27 could be a chance for a playoff run
