Looking like Zeke is getting cut.
Woo hoo.

We can find fresh legs to replace his. I’d take him super cheap as my 3rd down/short/goal line specialist.

Let’s be carful what we wish for though. We might not miss Zeke but Dak might on passing downs.

They should replace him too

It’s an unfortunate acronym that makes us Christians cringe when we see it.

But back to football- Glad to see Zeke cut. He was great at pass protection so hopefully we find someone on the cheap that fills that void. Also lots of restructuring has helped the cap. I hope they give the 2nd for Nuk, draft an Oline or DT with 26th. No need for a TE at 26 unless it’s the top rated that fell. Best player available is always good as it’s resulted in CeeDee and Micah- both position they weren’t looking for at the time.

An Eagles fan (especially on this board) saying they live rent free in Cowboys’ fans heads is crazy talk is what I was trying to say

Or you could interpret as any team having another team mentioned in their Header is "living rent free"
Still, funny couple days for both teams. We both get a CB yesterday, both release a fan favorite today.

Woo hoo.

It's the right move. He was a great short yardage back and pass protector during his tenure. Wasn't much of a fan of his character, but I wish him well.

If he got rid of some of that hair and beard I bet his YPC would improve.

Definitely the right move. I am sad the Cowboys have made some decent/smart/logical moves the past 2 days.

Weird huh? FO making smart moves.

Bring Tyron Smith back with a restructure.
Bring Hankins back or draft 1T.
Trade for Hopkins (if willing to take a haircut on his contract). The other guy I might look at is - Jarvis Landry. Do not want Jerry Jeudy. Diggs and Evans ain’t happening -$$$.

Draft for Oline/Dline CB, LB and RB.

I’m not loving many of the top rated WR’s in the draft. Too many little guys. I need to look at some of round 2-4 guys.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I’ll believe it when I see it

 

[Deamon]

Zeke released. Run wild now Tony.

 

[Deamon]

But we are just not going to go crazy with the money and are more confident in whatever plan they have to fill the Miles Sanders role - who had a much better season last year than either Cowboys running back so you could argue its a bigger hole to fill.

Better
MUCH better

Sanders: 259/1,269. 4.9 YPC
Pollard: 193/1,007. 5.2 YPC

Sanders: 12 20+ yard runs
Pollard: 18 20+ yard runs

Sanders: 11TD
Pollard: 9 TD

Sanders: 20 rec/78 yards/0TD 3.9 yards/rec
Pollard: 39 rec/371 yards/3TD 9.5 yards/rec

We might get to find out if they're teammates next year haha

I have seen this "stefon diggs to Dallas" rumor online for like, 3 weeks. Anyone here believe the Bills are gonna take a $45M cap hit to make this happen?

Just re-did Smith’s contract too!!!

That's what I'm thinking too. They're clearing up a WHOLE LOTTA cap space.

[Cowboysfan8]

Let’s get Hankins back please

 

[Terpman22]

All the tea leaves I am reading this morning seems to indicate an OBJ play is on the horizon. Maybe Cooks? I just don't see the Hopkins thing happening. The draft capital + contract/money needed to make the move.

 

[Bankerguy]

22.8 million today in cap space.
Then we also get Zeke’s contract space on June 1 - this is likely earmarked for draft picks.

I don’t want Odell.

Time for a thread title change too please!

 

[Bankerguy]

Since I don’t watch College football - I’ve start watching highlights of players I can see Dallas drafting.

Who do you y’all like post combine. Will post mine in the coming weeks.

 

[Deamon]

I really don't see Dallas drafting Bijan, but that would be obviously very bad news for Pollard owners. They're the betting fave to draft him but i dunno, that seems dumb right?

I think the Eagles may be trading down from 10. I'd see what the asking price is and go get WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

 

[Terpman22]

Cowboys acquire 30 year old WR Brandin Cooks for a 5th + 6th round draft pick. Big cap number this year, but the Texans are paying $6M of his salary.

Loaded roster in Dallas now, really no excuses for this year coming up.

 

[Bankerguy]

My thoughts on the trade:

Good value trade and the salary retention was big. The Cowboys can essentially walk away from Cooks contract at the end of the year with no dead cap.

I do question Cooks though. I admittedly don’t know a ton about him, but my first opinion is that he is unspectacular. I assume they will use him in the slot.

Guys who get traded a lot give me pause. I will reserve final judgement for a bit. Cook just seems….underwhelming?

I think he will be a solid play, and I expect him and CeeDee to interchange a lot in/out of the slot and mix things up. I don't expect him to be a 1k guy, but he should be able to top the 699 he got last year. Glad you guys didn't get NUK though lol. In 4 less games he still had more yards and receptions than Cooks. Smart savvy move by the Cowboys if he can stay healthy this year.

There is never an excuse, they just suck and underperform every.single.year.

https://www.oddschecker.com/us/football/nfl-specials/nfl-draft/team-to-draft-bijan-robinson

If he gets to #26, it’s an absolute yes- draft him without a second thought. There are scouts who see him as the #1 talent in this class and I have yet to find any scouts quoted who don’t see him as top 5.

I know I’m in the minority but still strongly believe BR will not make it out of the top 10.

 

[Deamon]

I know I’m in the minority but still strongly believe BR will not make it out of the top 10.

Where would you think he goes in the top 10? I think it's highly unlikely he goes top 10, or lasts to 26.

 

[Ack88]

Chicago or Philadelphia are the most likely.
I can also see a trade in spot.
Don't see the Bears NOT adding another RB, question is where.
Eagles offense would be nuclear with yet another weapon.

That's basically nothing. Hasn't missed many games at all.

Just saw Cooks also re- did his deal and lowered his cap hit.

I can’t believe we might still sign 1-2 more guys.

Cowboys making some smart decisions. I wonder what they got going on? There are a few guys that are on the roster right now that you could ya know, try to re-sign to extension since they are obvious no brainer moves. Dallas likes to wait those out until its Go Time in most cases though. Maybe they are changing a bit the way they operate/sense of urgency ramping up?

Unless some big time major trade is still on the horizon, but can't think of anyone now that you got the CB and WR to fill those holes.

Diggs and Lamb contracts coming up.
Maybe still in on Wagner. DT is another hole.

Right now I see the most pressing team needs as:

OG
DT - 1Tech
LB

Yeah these are the no brainers I was thinking of. 2 guys you absolutely know 100% you are keeping. Proven guys, top 10 at their position types.

Signed Ronald Jones today to a 1 yr deal
