Cowboys Top 10 Free Agents Left; Will Dallas Ever Be 'Buyers'? FISH PODCAST
FRISCO - Stephen Jones has said this annually, and with such frequency, that maybe we'd better start believing him.
"I've always been of the ilk that you, in this first couple of days of free agency, you pay good players like they're great, you pay average players like they're good, and so on and so forth," the Dallas Cowboys COO said recently. "Because the market's inflated in our mind. That's one opinion. The way I look at things, too. I've always said it:
"Player acquisition is 365 days a year. It's not just the first or second or third day of free agency."
OK. And now we are well beyond "the first or second or third day of free agency." So ...
As we say goodbye to so many Cowboys (see the Scorecard here), are there "cost-effective'' adds to be made?
The Fish Report and the Fish Podcast offers up 10 or so names: DBs Justin Simmons, Steven Nelson and Xavien Howard, edge Jadeveon Clowney, offensive linemen Mekhi Becton and Connor Williams (will he ever get healthy?), receivers Tyler Boyd and (gulp!) Odell Beckham Jr. ...
Oh, and Stephon Gilmore, Dallas' own free agent corner.
Stephen's position is that Dallas is "doing its job'' because of its NFL Draft success. Our counter is that "just draft'' isn't enough to win a Super Bowl, let alone to keep winning 12 games a year. Come inside with us and discuss, Cowboys Nation!
