Meetings are actually starting tonight?
I am such a battered wife punk bitch victim of Jerry's mental torture, I would take either.
Either one of them would be a good signing so I don't see what's wrong with that. I just think expecting both is unrealistic, if they somehow pull off some cap shenanigans and we get both, great.
If anything, I'd venture to say that it is Allen who appears to have more left in the tank.
My bigger fear now is that we don't sign either.
Realistic fear.
It should be an expected outcome.
I don't really care that much if we sign them one way or the other. I can acknowledge that they would be good signings and would help us next year, but the scenario you lay out is why I don't mind if we don't.
I've never been one in favor of crashing and burning. The only effective way to do that is to outright cut Romo. Otherwise a healthy Romo will probably find a way to gun sling us to 8-8 anyway. If we aren't cutting Romo I'd rather try and legitimately build a studly defense and see what happens. Defenses can be built quickly.
That's exactly what I want. Melton, however, is young enough that he could still be a factor once a necessary rebuild is done. Allen, on the other hand, will be done by the time he's surrounded with enough good players. So he's nothing more than a band-aid that helps maintain the current mediocre limbo we're stuck in. I'd rather have the cap space we would spend on him available in a year or two when one big time FA might actually put the team over the top.
I agree. Take this opportunity to get your house in order first and keep the 900 pound salary gorillas out of the mix for now.
