2024 Cowboys Free Agency Thread

[boozeman]

A gaping hole in our draft.

I hope the coaches like what they've seen in WasteOfSpace Lance

We like what we have seen so much, he is considered available in trade.

 

[Bipo]

We could "afford" to do anything we want.

It is just sold as otherwise, like oh dagnabbit, that gosh darn salary cap again.

Only so, much pie, etc.

They want to somehow luck into a Super Bowl by continuing to do exactly what they have always done.

And if they don't make it, it might take a stern look in the mirror or perhaps even screaming into a pillow for a night but things are okay soon thereafter.

Like I've said, gassing up that big boat ain't cheap.

Things are right again in Oxnard as the multitudes come running back.

Upgrades cost money. I thought this was known. I'm guessing their money is going to upgrades for things not related to football.

Gene's artwork needs new frames.

That void between the 4th until our picks in the 5th is huge.

Our feeble and narrow minds just are not able to understand the wisdom of trading a 4th for a 3rd string bust QB who likely won't see the field before he becomes a free agent.

Sad!

 

[Chocolate Lab]

That'd be great but you should lower your expectations.

Oren Burks and Leki Fotu.

I was trying to be modest.

Yep. A mere two months after being unceremoniously whipped at home by a mediocre 9-8 team in the playoffs we are right back to the same mentality we always have.

As God is our witness it will work this time!

Blame cheapskate Jerry. He fought like hell for the salary cap back in the day.

Your all in is different from Jerry’s all in .

"Balls deep" would've been better.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Jewell would be my number one target in FA.

We need LB, WR or DT off the needs list prior to the draft unless we intend to trade down. That void between the 4th until our picks in the 5th is huge.

Mine too, I think he fit exactly what we need at LBer without the flashy expensive contract. I love Grover Stewart from the Colts but that's probably too much to ask.

Yes, yes it is.

Jerry, every March

Never heard of them. /click

No one is gonna trade for Gallup.

"All in" = "not expected to spend big in free agency."

 

[Simpleton]

Since for all intents and purposes FA starts in 12 hours, I'm going to say that a normal team under our circumstances would probably do something like this:

Re-sign Gilmore, Pollard, Hankins internally, and externally sign Eric Kendricks, Grover Stewart, Josey Jewell and DJ Wonnum.

Instead we'll get the Stephen blue light special of Leki Fotu, Oren Burks, Yetur Gross-Matos, Anthony Barr, Linval Joseph.

I'm not even going to set myself up for disappointment.

 

[Bipo]

If you expect a nice FA haul then you are literally insane. You know, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
