I wanted to sign Melton before, but I think its becoming more critical. To many teams are high on Donald, I don't think he drops to us, without one of those two guys we are gonna get dominated up front. And even with just one of these guys we are going to have a lot of trouble.

Not much else can be said, really. This pretty much sums it up.
Oh well.
Next: Melton signs with Seattle, 3 years, 14 million... Too rich for us!!
Die, Jerry.

Yeah, it is basically a year to year deal after the first year.

I get that.
What I know will happen though is that we will enter this draft with no other options available. We will HAVE to draft a DE early. No if ands or buts.
That's never a situation you want to be in.

Cowboys lose a chance at Julius Peppers
March, 15, 2014
By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com
The Cowboys are not running out of time when it comes to filling the needs of the defensive line in free agency, but they could be losing quality players in the pool.
With Julius Peppers signing a three-year deal with the Green Bay Packers on Saturday morning, it meant that's one less name to evaluate on the free-agent list.
So now the Cowboys hope that Dallas native Henry Melton doesn't sign with anybody else before his scheduled visit to Valley Ranch this weekend. He might not even get here until Monday.
Jared Allen, Anthony Spencer and Robert Ayers are other names the Cowboys have an interest in.
Yet because of the Cowboys' limited monies in the salary cap, they are going to be careful with any signing. They want a quality player but at their own price.
None of the free agents the Cowboys sign are going to get that five-year, $50.1 million deal that Brandon Carr got two years ago when he signed on from Kansas City.
Expect a low base salary for a free agent with a nice $6 million to $8 million signing bonus for a two- or three-year deal.
Spencer (microfracture) and Melton (ACL) are coming off injuries, so teams, while interested, could have some leverage from a financial basis due to the health of the players.
The Cowboys have time to make a move, but finding the player they want in free agency is growing tougher.

Even if they had gotten Peppers and Melton the line would not be better than last year.
Hopefully the draft will help.
