2024 Cowboys Free Agency Thread

[Simpleton]

Bullshit.

 

[boozeman]

Bullshit.

It is beyond bullshit. We are going to pay out the ass for him? Nope.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Pauline also said if we didn't make a deep playoff run, McCarthy would be fired and Quinn would be promoted to HC.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Bullshit.

Well it's free agency next. So you know we will be linked to every single top player despite the Cowboys having zero interest. Go to a top 150 list and just cross off the top 50 guys and start there. Even in an agressive offseason I don't expect us to be going for those guys. I get it, we draft too well to pay a guy 20-30 mil in free agency. But give me a few guys between 51 and 150. Grover Stewart, Josey Jewell and AJ Dillon (Part of me wants to roll the dice on JK Dobbins but man the injuries) for example.

I'm not asking for Danielle Hunter. Sure he would be great but unless Zimmer pushes for it, that kind of signing isn't happening.

All in, buddy.

I mean last time we went all in for free agency we did sign a Chiefs corner to what was a big contract at the time.

But if I remember correctly he certainly wasn't the corner I had hoped for that offseason. I remember thinking, why the hell are you spending that much money on him when you could have xyz. He was a good player though.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Nonsense.

These type of rumors are almost always fueled by an agent trying to drive their client's price up and motivate his team to step up.

 

[p1_]

you cant rely on draft picks to address all needs. The LB corps needs talent and experience, for example.

 

[Genghis Khan]

It doesn't even make sense unless they let Gilmore walk AND plan on trading or letting Diggs walk.

Zero chance they'd spend big money on a corner and then later pay Diggs and Bland.

It's also a smart conservation of resources because you can probably get solid linebackers without breaking the bank.

Yeah Diggs got his deal. We aren't giving another corner a massive deal.

Right. And the other question is why? I can't think of too many positions of need on the team lower than CB. It makes no sense.

Say that reminds me, we might regret that .

 

[Bill Shatner]

Trending that way. Seems like this team surgeon or the rehab team or both have issues getting these guys back from a big injury.

Pauline also said if we didn't make a deep playoff run, McCarthy would be fired and Quinn would be promoted to HC.

People here said that, too.

 

[boozeman]

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Wonder what guys would be Zimmer guys? Besides Danielle Hunter who I think gets a big deal from someone after the season he just had. I doubt that's in our "price range"

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Say that reminds me, we might regret that .

Yeah my hope is that Diggs injury happened so early last year that he is 100% to start this season. But Gallup was like 2 years ago and we are still waiting.

We are set at corner … besides he already has the luxury of playing for competent , winning culture in KC..

Yeah but I doubt KC is able to bring everyone back. Their top priority has got to be Chris Jones. He is one of if not the best DTs in the NFL.
