Jerrah is actually really good at trading around draft time. One of his few redeeming qualities.

Melton out at least for the Lions game. Terrel McClain from the Clan McClain had 4 tackles with a sack and strip againt Washington so he's more than ready to step in. Brent might be available as well against the Lions.
Suh is playing this Sunday - his suspension was changed to a fine.

Looking forward to seeing Brent. He is a load that can take on double teams and keep our LBs clean.
Hope Hitch can go. He is an impressive 4th round pick.
Gotta give staff credit. Both Frederick and Hitchens were criticized by draftnicks as "reaches" both have played above draft expectations. Caliborne/Escobar is the only recent head-scratcher. Not that Esco hasnt shown brief flashes but where we took him with the players left on the board was puzzling. Mo is Mr.Glass hasnt been healthy for one full camp or season.
Agreed. Fred Beard is a stud. Hitch is a good LB and should improve on his rookie campaign. I'm very very disappointed in Mo Claiborne. Cowboys graded him 2nd to only Prime Time? I have high hopes for Escobar. His hands are softer than Kim Kardashian's ass. He is underutilized because Captain Witten is still pretty good.
Major Issues:
1) Will McClay. Can we keep him? He's the one responsible for constructing the Great Wall of Dallas 2.0 and finding cheap FA who are playing above their heads (esp on defense). I'm hearing the Jets are after him. They got deep pockets like Jerry.
2) Marinelli. I'm hearing he might bolt for Tampa Bay and reunite with Lovie Smith. Hopefully Jerry can convin$$$e him to stay.
3) Linehan. He has done so much for Dallas. The offense is efficient and eats up clock. His offense has protected our defense all year. Hopefully no one offers him a HC job in the offseason.
4) Re-signing Ro McClain. Will he go to the highest bidder? Defense has been physical all year. Starting with him. He's a thumper that sets the tone. Would love to see him with Lee and Hitch form one of the best LB corps in the NFL next year.
5) Re-signing Dez. Can they meet his contract demands? He had a great year. Franchise tag?
6) Will they pay DM29? Or will they sign AP or draft Gurley? I like Melvin Gordon too.
I know it's early but I worry about stuff like that, now that it appears like we are having a resurgence. Go Cowboys!
Sup Roger?
But seriously, good call.
Agreed. Can't wait for Sunday1) Will McClay. Can we keep him? He's the one responsible for constructing the Great Wall of Dallas 2.0 and finding cheap FA who are playing above their heads (esp on defense). I'm hearing the Jets are after him. They got deep pockets like Jerry.
2) Marinelli. I'm hearing he might bolt for Tampa Bay and reunite with Lovie Smith. Hopefully Jerry can convin$$$e him to stay.
Agreed. Marinelli has rejuvenated a supposed depleted defense, and maximized the potential of a bunch of unknown young players. He needs to stick around.
3) Linehan. He has done so much for Dallas. The offense is efficient and eats up clock. His offense has protected our defense all year. Hopefully no one offers him a HC job in the offseason.
This is a real possibility.

I don't think the Cowboys will keep him and Carter. One or the other. Cowboys are gonna have a tough enough time finding the cash to pay Dez, and if they decide on keeping DeMarco, someone is gonna have to go. Plus King Carter has come on strong over the last month, I'm sure some teams have taken notice.
5) Re-signing Dez. Can they meet his contract demands? He had a great year. Franchise tag?
Dez ain't going anywhere for the next couple of years at least. Jerry has already confirmed the franchise tag will be used if a deal can't be reached. That would land him about 24 million over the next two seasons, but could also cause him to get butthurt and cause problems for the team. I think Jerry will pay him..they can't let past horrible contracts on people like both Roy Williams, Marion Barber, and Terrance Newman take away from Dez' worth. Pay the man, he is gonna continue to dominate CB's for the next 5 years at least.
6) Will they pay DM29? Or will they sign AP or draft Gurley? I like Melvin Gordon too.
RB is the most interchangable position IMO, while I would like to hang on to Murray I don't think it would be a huge dropoff to the offensive production if they continue to run the ball albeit with more of a running back by committee approach. Rookies RB's regulary impact teams, so if they draft correctly we should be ok.
I know it's early but I worry about stuff like that, now that it appears like we are having a resurgence. Go Cowboys!
Good stuff man. If choosing between Carter and Ro McClain - no brainer in my eyes. Carter is 3rd in the NFL with 5 INTs, but he is just too inconsistent despite his athleticism. Ro looks like the player that was #8 overall pick.Agreed. Can't wait for Sunday
I can't wait for the game either. #REVENGE
Death Ro
Yeah, Ro has something that the others don't. If there was a way to guarantee his health over 16 games, I'm going with Ro no question.
I don't even want to gloat on this one. He balling. Y'all got Mack though. He is an even younger stud.
No doubt. He turned a finesse defense into some hard hitting mother ers. That's my dude.
yeah but we need an inside backer... imagine how physically dominant you could be with Mack and McClain lined up together
Yeah that would be dope.yeah but we need an inside backer
I'm nervous though. Ro seems to like Dallas, but he may bolt.
reunite with the raiders?Yeah that would be dope.
I'm nervous though. Ro seems to like Dallas, but he may bolt.
knowing us he'd probably immediately suck again
That would piss me off tbh.reunite with the raiders?
knowing us he'd probably immediately suck again
IMHO, I can picture Ro getting a huge payday and becoming a headcase again.Yeah that would be dope.
I'm nervous though. Ro seems to like Dallas, but he may bolt.
I guess that's always a possibility, but I honestly think he matured. #FINGERSCR
Zack Martin named to the ing All-Pro team..first time a Cowboys rookie has in 45 years.
to the front office, they got it right this time
Game day, balla, game day!
Hope the Cowboys come out early and hit these fools in the mouth.
Damn he shut me up quick tbh
Lawrence came through in the end, glad he didn't have that burden on his shoulders
