A lot of talk has been made about signing Terry Glenn or Joe Horn.

While adding an experienced wideout (especially one familiar with the playbook) could have merit, it doesn't answer the teams nagging special teams problem. With Burnett and Auatin out we are short coverage guys . Furthermore, we are dependent on Hurd to be a key special teamer and the third WR. that in itself isnt a problem, but it puts the team an injury away from being short a couple of important positions.

I read that Jarrod Cooper was cut by the Raiders. While the thought of needing one of the Raiders early cuts scares the hell out me, it seems like we might need to do something like that....

Does anyone else have any special teams coverage guys we rent for a couple of weeks?

Roster spots to valuable, You dont sign a player to play special teams only

And the safety position is set on this team. Cooper was waived becaue he intends to retire.

Glenn cant pass a physical, needs micro fracure surgery and Joe Horn has nothing left in the tank.. Signing either one of those receivers would be a waste of a roster spot.

Keith Davis

had a roster spot basically as a special teams ace, but he’s the exception.

yeah

but he wasn’t winning his roster spot as the 5th safety based on his safety abilities. he was on the team to play special teams.

"If you don’t take him off the field as a coach, he will just about die out there," Jerry Jones said. "That impacted my decision. It’s a Michael Irvin-type work ethic. That’s what we are talking about with Felix Jones."
