I know he got in some trouble last year at the same time as Hill. May just be a bad apple.They were just saying on talking cowboys that woods is an exclusive rights free agent or restricted free agent, I forget which, but they haven't tendered him. I'm not sure what's going on there.
I was going to ask about that, I thought he had an issue or two last year. Maybe they're done with him?I know he got in some trouble last year at the same time as Hill. May just be a bad apple.
Ok, so you're right....and @Genghis Khan is wrong.I don't really know what the deal is with Woods, Spotrac has him under contract for 750K and lists him as a restricted FA next year. I haven't heard anything going on with him so I'm just going to assume he's back.
Just this past December.I know he got in some trouble last year at the same time as Hill. May just be a bad apple.
Over the cap and two other sites list him as exclusive rights FA. Even sporttrac lists 2020 as exclusive rights FA year if you scroll down enough. He will be back if the Cowboys want him.Ok, so you're right....and @Genghis Khan is wrong.
Not sure why I've been thinking since last season that he was hitting FA this year.
But they at least have a SB appearance and some playoff victories to show for it. Thats the modern NFL, get a decent roster, catch a few breaks, and just about anyone can get hot and win a SB. What do the Cowboys have despite Jerry crowing about all the talent they have? Oh, just the same ole same ole with the last SB appearance happening with a large percentage of younger Cowboys fans not even born.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.
Championship!
Umm. Okay.
I think this might actually be one of the better signings they've made, he was used very heavily as a blocker in KC, which allowed Kelce to basically just function as a jumbo WR. His usage depended on game flow seemingly but he usually played right around 40% of the snaps, so long story short he was the primary blocking TE for one of the best offenses in the league.

Given how Jarwin struggles as a blocker but looks like he has untapped potential as a receiver you can easily envision Bell being used in the same fashion while Jarwin will pretty much act as a jumbo WR like Kelce.
Let's not confuse a solid depth signing with being able to execute impact signings that really move the needle.B
But you were saying....
I agree, it's like saying we got the best UDFA after an awful draft. It's nice but you blew the other part.Let's not confuse a solid depth signing with being able to execute impact signings that really move the needle.
We signed a nice blocking TE, cool, but they've also spent the vast majority of FA sleepwalking while guys who would be upgrades are signing all over on reasonable, short term deals that we could easily afford and wouldn't impact our long term cap strategy.
Rod Marinelli just threw up in his mouth.welcome, fatso!
