2026 Cowboys Free Agency Thread…

[Cowboysrock55]

I'm to the point that I'm like, how's Dre Greenlaw, Bobby Okereke and Wagner looking...

Fuck, why could we not have just made the obvious and cheap move and got someone like Chenal.

 

[Cotton]

That is dead on the vet minimum after 3 years.

 

[Texas Ace]

I'll be honest, didn't even know he was a free agent. That's basically league minimum these days so I don't give a shit.

But why????

 

[Chocolate Lab]

But why????

Because Jerry traded for him and can't accept he was wrong.

 

[Genghis Khan]

And the Ravens just signed Hendrickson to 4 years 112 million.

You could see this coming a mile away.

That's cheap for Hendrickson. We should have done it.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

But why????

I guess to let him compete with the UDFA for the fifth or sixth WR spot on the roster. After our top 4 WRs not sure who even makes the roster.

You guys didnt really think it was going to be different did you?

I mean they did change it up a little bit for you on the first day but you cant expect these yahoos to have a plan for when your plan doesnt execute like you thought.

It hasn't been that bad, if they had signed Dean or whatever we'd all be ecstatic, missing out on a LB doesn't take me from ecstatic to "everything is terrible".

They've done better, the defense will be better, but as usual they haven't done quite enough to put us in position to be a strong SB contender.

But I do think we'll be much closer to the 2021-23 teams next year than the 2024-25 teams.

I have no doubt we will still do something at LBer. The problem is what. Because the easy and obvious choices are gone. Guys you know would have made the defense better for sure. Now we are back in the sign Sandborn and trade for Kenneth Murray territory. You just have to hope the guys they pick are way better this time around.

I'm with you but they didn't technically break any rules. But, Like Chapo said, I hope every team in the league blackballs them and they lose the option to trade for anyone for a long time.

Jerry and Cowboys fans should probably write the Ravens a thank you note though.

They saved us from trading pick 12, next years second and Osa for Crosby. We were the next best offer and I have no doubt that trade would have been made if not for the Ravens swooping in and beating our offer. And I'm pretty sure that offer is what we made which is why now teams are calling us about Osa. Because they know we were willing to send him away in that deal.

I bet she knows that doctor well.

I’m reading on X that the 9ers are interested in OSA.

Would you trade him for Fred Ward?

Hell no! Mainly because I don't know who Fred Ward is.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Hell no! Mainly because I don't know who Fred Ward is.

He doesn't know how to spell Warner.

I might in all honesty depending on the medicals on Warner. The guy is an absolute game wrecker at LBer. If healthy and of course last year he wasn't. But that type of addition changes everything for this defense if healthy. He is the high IQ, study stupid hard, film junky combined with great athletic traits that this defense needs.

It is interesting that there were Osa trade rumors. There were Warner trade rumors. And now we hear that the 49ers are the team interested in trading for Osa. Sort of lines up as a potential trade. But I just don't know if the 49ers would expect something in addition to Osa and I'm not sure I'm willing to do that. You rarely see player for player swaps of guys this high caliber.

I feel like I would want more in return than an aging character actor.

 

[Stars]

Hell no! Mainly because I don't know who Fred Ward is.

He was Kevin Bacon’s co star in Tremors. RIP

 

[Genghis Khan]

He was Kevin Bacon’s co star in Tremors. RIP

He's dead?

He would definitely fail a physical then.

So here is the sketchy part of the Ravens situation. They had all the medical information when the trade was made. Meaning x-rays and doctors reports and all that stuff. And yet they don't decide they are concerned about something until yesterday? Seems extra sketchy to me.

At the same time we hear that Hendrickson is making a decision on a team the next day. I'm sorry, the Ravens were absolutely waiting to see if they could get Hendrickson. Once they found out they could, they pulled the plug in the trade. The Raiders have a right to be pissed. And now the Raiders can't go and get the first and second round offer they had from the Cowboys. Feels like they have serious damages by the bullshit the Ravens pulled.
