TO, Witten and Walker? Sweet Jesus, a Romo dynasty owner can only dream...

5th round pick?

I agree. Zach Thomas was a great signing and this would be an excellent trade if Javon's knee is solid.

Didnt you read the part about him possibly not being able to pass a physical. Players who have health concerns generally do not get traded for first day picks.5th round pick?

With a "healthy" glenn too I wonder if this drops TOs value...there are only so many balls to go around between Barber/TO/Witten/Walker/Glenn

I doubt Glenn ever plays again.

I was thinking the same thing about Javon.

I also think Glenn is done.
It will probably be TO Walker and Crayton as the 3rd wide.

Getting Walker could be a good low price, high-risk buy given the situation he's going into. Between Glenn and Walker, you would think at least one of them would pan out. If Walker stays healthy they get a game breaking player for next to nothing.

It kills me to see the Cowboys upgrading their already great offense, but this makes a lot of sense for most teams.

I wish they would go after Roy instead.

The report I read says that Walker may not be able to pass a physical. That's kind of a big deal breaker.

Was that report the OP?
King of the Wolfies
Footballguy
that too....LOL But I read another report that said if he cannot pass a physical, then there wont be a deal.

Only thing is, he might pass the physical, but that doesn't mean he'll stay healthy.Mustang Man

One thing is for sure this off season and that is Dallas will get a big name wr. One of these 3 I would think- Roy Williams, Bernard Berrian or Javon Walker. I had hoped for Larry Fitzgerald but that's not going to happen. They need a speedster. Is Stallworth still a free agent? I think Berrian is the best fit for what they need.

Might help that Walker and Owens are good friends outside the game.

Walker and Marshall were friends outside of the game as well.

Are we writing Dallas in for the Super Bowl AGAIN this year? <_<

I highly doubt this as well. At first, my initial thought of hearing Walker to Dallas is, man, that is risky. The guy may never really be the saem, but for a 5th round pick?For 5th, the risk reward is definately worth it. I'd even say a 4th is a no brainer. 3rd rounder, then you have to start thinking but if he passes a physical, I say it's still good.2nd round pick or higher, you really need to think about the likelyhood of him being a dominant receiver again.

This story has actually been out there for awhile now. I posted the following on Feb. 1st in the "Cowboys Offseason Thread" on page 4, post #180. My thoughts remain the same.
" From today's Denver Post:
"There has been speculation Dallas might have an interest in Broncos receiver Javon Walker if he is cut. The Broncos likely will try to trade Walker or cut him."
I don't know.
1. He'd first have to pass a physical.
2. I think if there were any chance of this happening at all, he would probably have to accept an incentive-laden contract with a near minimum base salary.
His recent resume and attitude haven't exactly been favorable, not to mention the condition of his knee. Now if we could get the Javon Walker that played in Green Bay, that would be another story.

No, just the best regular season record in the NFC. From there, we know it's up for grabs as to who gets to the SB.Are we writing Dallas in for the Super Bowl AGAIN this year? <_<

Nothing, he's still pretty solid. However, Glenn isn't going to be back, Owens is aging. It just happened that for the most part, Owens didn't get hurt (till the very end when Dallas had things clinched up) and Crayton stayed healthy and that 1,2 punch was solid. But what happens if we start the season off this year and all of a sudden Owens then gets dinged and is out 3 to 4 weeks.No way can we rely on Crayton to be a No.1 and the rest of the guys trying to fill in as No. 2. We need someone maybe with a little more speed than Crayton as Crayton will still be solid as more of a possesion receiver.What the heck is so wrong with Crayton*?*Crayton Dynasty Owner

I've heard in the past Cowboys fans talk about how happy Dallas was with their WR corp, even without Glenn. Hurd, Stanback, Austin were all supposedly solid wr's. Now they are not comfortable with these 3?Nothing, he's still pretty solid. However, Glenn isn't going to be back, Owens is aging.

Don't shoot the messenger.....this was on Foxsports.
The Patriots and Randy Moss really aren't close to a new contract, although the Pats believe Moss will give them the option to match whatever deal he does receive on the open market. That makes sense because the clubs pursuing Moss will be limited because he wants to play for a contender. The most interesting rumor is Moss joining the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys can pay up, and wouldn't T.O. and Moss be interesting to watch, not to mention impossible to defend?

Crayton dropped some big passes last year. He dropped what could have been a game changing 3rd down pass against the Giants in the playoff loss. He needs to mature on the field. He has the potential to be very productive but he has those lapses at the most inopportune times.I've heard in the past Cowboys fans talk about how happy Dallas was with their WR corp, even without Glenn.

It's fun to dream about, that's all I'll say.

1 Year too late. I was praying for this last year when he was going dirt cheap. I was praying for this in 1998 when we drafted Greg Ellis instead. I have been praying for this for a long time.
It will never happen.
I still got wood when I read it though.

You're right, we've been happy...or maybe the correct term is optomistic. That of course for me was with Terry Glenn or in the back of my mind Terry Glenn coming back and being somewhat of a factor. Without that and with an aging Owens, I am not happy. I think with Witten in the mix, if they did go into the season with their current group they could be fine, but it's the offseason and with some potential help out there, I say take some reasonable shots at trying to get one of these guys. I think being close minded and thinking you're OK at any area could cost you. The only reason the Detroit Tigers (who thought they wre fine and didn't look for a big trade) got Willis and Cabrera was because they just didn't turn their head, they were always just willing to listen to rumors etc... and that trade basically fell into their lap.I've heard in the past Cowboys fans talk about how happy Dallas was with their WR corp, even without Glenn.

This is way more likely than the crazy McFadden talk. Sorry to hi-jack.I'm not a fan of Walker as see no reason to trade anything for him, and to be honest I'm a NOT a fan of many of the WR FA's. The only one I think is OK is Bryant Johnson from Zona. I think he is highly under rated playing behind Fitz and Boldin.

Be careful what you wish for. Dallas does not have the leadership that New England does, and Randy + TO = The Perfect Storm. You think Wade Phillips could handle these 2? What would TO think of Randy's money once Jerry signed him? As a Packer fan I hope so badly that this happens. Dallas does not have the infrastructure to handle these 2 egos.

As a Packer fan, you better hope this doesn't happen. Winning cures alot of things.

Honestly I have confidence in Jerry, Wade, Randy, and Terrell in this case. I know this is just the splash that Jerry would love, and I also know it would be more soap opera than football team in Dallas. I would not be scared of this signing at all.

It's not going to happen......but seriously I'm not going to hope that it doesn't for the reasons you mentioned. Randy Moss and TO have both shown the ability to blend into their teams. Maybe because they were winning, but that's exactly what Dallas is going to do. I'm not saying undefeated or even that their division is locked up, but odds are with the team they have, they should be a winning team. They should be a team that is going to compete for a playoff spot.Again, Randy Moss isn't coming to Dallas but I'm not going to go to sleep tonight and hope it doesn't happen, that's your job.

and a lot of talent. Yes, he's an injury concern but that's why you will get him so cheap.
