Cowboys tender their RFAs

but he does seem to play a little bit better at center for whatever reason. I think Raf is correct, however. This is more or less insurance if they can’t find anyone in the draft to come in and beat him out in TC.

Because what happens if you sign him to a low tender and someone signs him? There is too big of a risk that the person they draft to replace him would suck even more.

This was just plain stupid.

Dallas may have upgraded their draft evaluations by staying closer to Ciskowski’s board, but they have a long way to go in evaluatiing their own roster with dispassionate eyes.

Makes me want to punch a baby thinking about it.

“Bad quarters”?

He didn’t just have bad games against feared pass rushers, he was aweful against anybody in passing situations.

He got pushed back into the backfield consistently throughout the season.

He’s the whipping boy because you could see that there was a huge difference in the line with him in and with Kosier or Holland.

Gentlemen, start your signings!

I’m not sold on Henry being a FS either..he is too injury prone.

OK that was lame but when I read it today for some reason I couldn’t resist..

He still has value because Spencer didn’t show up last year, and until he does, I’d be nervous about losing Ellis.

On cutting Henry, are you saying the team clears 3.6 mil, or has to eat 3.6 mil?

he loves it when the whole post becomes about him.

Like a car wreck, keep moving.

Carp has proven without any doubt that he isn’t tough or physical enough to play inside so to answer your question…absolutely not.

it is a lack of talent or coaching, but as bad as our offensive line played last year a 300 pound lard butt off the street could have come in at times and played better. Romo, Felix, Marion and Choice all made these guys look better than they played. Now, that being said, if you are the back up to the backup then you shouldn’t be in the top five of any list unless it is for the sucktacular lineman of the year.

We could never get a first or second rounder for Canty, if he was that good, Jerry would have already had him signed, sealed and delivered. (great Stevie W song btw)

5 year deal, $27.5 million with $8 mil guaranteed.

there was a bit on Fox Radio about 3 years ago they were discussing a game between the steeler’s and pats playing in Pittsburgh. A pats player was hurt and usually the home team medical staff comes in to help out the road team’s medical staff at times. Belicheck shoos away the steeler’s staff as if he does not trust them.

The radio host sarcastically says, what is afraid the steeler’s doctor is going to hurt his player; then the host’s producer impersonates a WWE announcer:

“Here comes a medical staff member from the steeler’s, he looking at the ankle and OMG he twists his ankle the other way causing even more damage, who could have seen that coming?”

after their CB got that huge deal they had to trim some cap space. Tommy Kelly is having to restructure his deal along with the fact that they brought back micheal huff after they cut him because Wilson was not willing to take a pay cut; he could have also wanted to leave them anyway to go to a better team. Wilson took advantage of a huge payday opportunity and got 16 mil guranteed; so when they give him the option to stay at lower pay he probably said no. Does that mean he was a great safety, no, but Raf knew enough about him to put a post saying that he is better and would come cheaper than RW1. So it’s more than just the guy was cut from the raiders he is persona non grata. Remember that R. Moss was considered washed up until he went to the pats. The raiders are like the bermuda triangle of the NFL; coaches and careers are distorted and cannot be taken at face value, i. e.if they were let go from the raiders they must suck.

I’ll believe it come June 1 if he’s still on the roster.

But why would we keep 6 WRs on our roster, with at least 5 of them at a decently high salary?

Owens
Williams
Crayton
Hurd
Austin
Stanback

Given these new tenders on Hurd and Austin, and taking into account what the other 4 are already being paid, that’s a LOT of money tied up at the WR position. Plus people are talking about us taking a burner WR in the middle rounds, probably Day 2, to give us some deep threat depth.

That’s too many wideouts and too much $ locked into the position. I just don’t see all 6 of those guys being on the opening day roster. That’s why I speculate that maybe Jerry is not wedded to keeping Owens.

to play center, because he sure can’t play guard.
