Leonard Davis has left the building

The big man, Leonard Davis, is on the move and on his way to the Deadskins. He may check out the Giants while he's at it. I'm not crying that he left. It's possible that with the money already given to other offensive linemen combined with how much Davis wanted, the Cowboys just decided it would be better to pay Marc Colombo and settle the issue. Maybe they thought Colombo was asking for too much, but now that they see the lay of the land, the smart thing to do is make sure and get Colombo back. Then, they can decide about the guard spot later, possibly going for a kid in the draft or even spending more in free agency.

Oh yeah, the probability of Dallas getting a deal done with Davis tonight has now reached a new low of .01%.

Hat tip to Deke for the news.

A good sign

and I am hoping we don't get him back. This is the wrong player for us. Here is what Bucky Brooks on SI.com says:

Leonard Davis, Arizona Cardinals, OT/OG: This is former No. 2 overall pick has never played to the level of his draft status. After being a dominant player at OT in college, Davis has struggled playing the position on the pro level. He had better success inside at OG, but his inconsistent motor and over reliance on his size/strength prevents him from consistently dominating opposing players. Despite his inconsistencies, teams will overpay for his talent and potential.
