It always worries me when guys are coming off injuries and looking for a last stop. The Cowboys seem to relish in talking to guys like that. They have tons of money under the cap, and yet every season they mainly look at retreads, guys coming off injuries or guys pushing 30+ in age. Just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe Poe isn’t a worry here, but it’s a theme in general with the FO.
that's what happens when you build your roster from the draft and plug gaping holes with free agency. you notice how these signings also address areas weve drafted horribly or not at all.
Yeah, it seems to me that they go from one extreme to another. Either they're paying their home-grown players at the very top of the market (Martin, the now-retired Frederick, Elliott, Cooper, and soon-to-be Prescott, along with Lawrence) or they're fishing around the bargain bin in free agency, and often passing on players I feel are great fits. Nothing in between. Gerald McCoy looks to be the one exception to that this year.
Same here, but I don't think we would. Given the ages of McCoy and Poe, the bottom could fall out at any time. Now would not be the time to pass on young talent for the present and future.
Oh you still need one. Those guys are older so they won't be able to play 100% of the snaps. Plus you're looking at them short term. You don't want to be in the same position a year from now. I'd still view DT as a high priority.
To say nothing of the fact that Trysten Hill is a bust until Trysten Hill proves otherwise. Obviously for different reasons, but I would put both Gregory and Hill in the 'Unreliable' category and not count on either in 2020. If we get something from either or both? Great, it's a bonus. But of things don't work out, we're not stuck either.
Im sure theyre counting on Hill to produce. I think they view Gregory as a question mark, with any decent production being a bonus.
Woods has started like every game the last two years and Crawford is going to rush on the interior in nickel/dime, I think that's decent enough depth especially if Hill can give us anything.
I was under the impression that Woods is not under contract. Who knows if Crawford plays DT or DE or both under Nolan. Hill giving us anything is wishing upon a star.
You're right, Antwaun Woods is a FA.
I think stop gaps are absolutely the way of smart free agency these days unless you can get a deal for whatever reason. You start using all your cap room overpaying for free agents, all of a sudden you have none for your own players. Look at the Rams. They were getting high praise not too long ago for paying for a bunch of free agents. Now look, cap hell. The Rams bet on "win now", and lost.
