Now that Kamerion Wimbley has been released by the Raiders, he's eligible to be signed, and the Cowboys could then drop the franchise tag on Anthony Spencer. Should they do it? What would Wimbley cost on a longer term deal? What are the pros and cons? Here's a quick look at their comparative stats. They are only 3 months apart in age, with Wimbley an inch taller and 2 lbs lighter. Wimbley will be 29 this season. Is he worth tying up in a long term deal?
