Some solid FAs available, which ones would you like your team to sign? here's a pretty good list: profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/02/27/pfts-free-agent-hot-100/For me it starts with keeping some of our own specifically Hightower and Butler and even Sheard. Marty Bennett is probably gone so I wouldnt mind grabbing Cook and if Logan Ryan leaves, A.J. Bouye could be a nice replacement Pats seem to be hot and heavy on getting a "#1" WR, tried (allegedly)to trade for Hopkins and Cooks so maybe they look at Jeffrey or Pryor...I like Stills but he's asking for too much $$$. I dont really see WR as a pressing need but who am I to question to question Hoody? I could see them poaching Gilleslee from the Bills to take Blount's job and Calais Campbell could be our next rental pass rusher... Anyone out there you want your team to get?

And there's no point in discussing FA's. Cowboys will not be in the market until after 6/1 and even then they will seek 2nd and 3rd tier FA's. When you are up against the cap, this is how you do business.

When you are up against the cap, this is how you do business. on the bright side you have 2 young studs on value contracts and a pretty good team overall. Seems most teams in "cap hell" are in much worse shape (see:Jets)

When you are up against the cap, this is how you do business. on the bright side you have 2 young studs on value contracts and a pretty good team overall. Seems most teams in "cap hell" are in much worse shape (see:Jets) I'm used to it. The Cowboys are annually up against the cap so chasing FA's just isn't something they do. And that isn't so bad really. Jets are guilty of this; It puts a premium on drafting. Fortunately, the Cowboys are finally drafting well. The downside of how they manage the cap is that they have 18 UFA's - and the ones they would like to keep (Church; Carr; Butler; Leary) will all be attractive to other teams at prices the Cowboys probably won't be able to meet. The upside is guys like T. Williams will get contracts the Cowboys aren't interested in competing with. And - it keeps them from signing doochebags like Greg Hardy again.

yeah I meant to mention Britt in my post. Seems he's grown up and staying out of trouble now. Pats kicked the tires with him in the past. Over(barely) 1000 yards last year in a shitty offense lol He'd be a good get for someone imo

bears got like 60 mil in cap availability......
give me both the top CBs available(Gilmore & Bouye).....and a WR(maybe Jeffrey back if his price is reasonable, but probably not because nodody except Cutler will even throw in his direction)
QB is the biggest need, but there are ZERO good options out there...FAs draft or trade......nothing.

The FA QB's suck. The QBs in this draft suck. But it could be worse, you could have used a 2nd round pick on Crapenberg. Sounds like you guys are gonna sign Glennon though

My wish is that Matt Stafford and Eric Ebron die in a fire and that Quinn drafts defense with all 7 picks I like Stafford he can make every throw without effort I'd like to see him with a mail carrier RB. I think since Cooter has been OC, Matt has finally got it Note although Stafford was drafted 3 seasons before Russel Wilson they are the same age yet Wilson is thought of as young and Stafford isn't

Hoodie didn't draft him to trade him I believe that he was drafted to replace Tommy, thing is Tommy hasn't regressed yet.

Bonus wish: Redskins lose Kirk Cousins to another team. That is probably going to happen soon

I think since Cooter has been OC, Matt has finally got it Note although Stafford was drafted 3 seasons before Russel Wilson they are the same age yet Wilson is thought of as young and Stafford isn't As a college football junkie who watched him a lot at UGA and a Detroit Lions fan, I can tell you that Stafford is probably the most overrated player in NFL history...maybe 2nd to Joe Namath, but at least he won something. The night before the Stafford draft(back when the draft was on the weekends) they announced that the Lions and Stafford agreed on a contract. I got blackout drunk and was sitting in the middle of the street yelling for a car to put me out of my misery. I haven't been proven wrong yet. As for Jim Bob as the OC...he's horrible. Tecmo Bowl has a more diverse playbook than him. Everyone got boners saying "Stafford has 8 or 9 come from behind wins this season" which was a fucking lie. They count Thanksgiving when Slay had an INT and then they took one play to center the ball and then kicked a FG to win, but attribute that as a Stafford come from behind victory. The day he is no longer a Lion will be the greatest day of my Lions fandom. So again, I wish for him and Ebron to die in a fire
