Eatman shoots down Hall rumor, but adds to Moss rumor

Nick Eatman throws cold water on one ‘rumor’ and speculates on another. First up, the Cowboys aren’t interested in trading for DeAngelo Hall.

But at this point, it doesn’t appear the Cowboys have any strong interest in acquiring Atlanta’s disgruntled cornerback DeAngelo Hall, who has recently stated he will not play for the Falcons in 2008.

Hall, a first-round pick in 2004 (eighth overall), is so unhappy in Atlanta that it seems the Falcons are just as ready to ship him out. In fact, the Falcons have called a few teams inquiring a trade, including the Cowboys.

The word is, the conversation didn’t even last long enough to see what it might cost to acquire him.

That’s pretty much to the point. They didn’t even stay on the phone long enough to see what it would take. Maybe they are waiting on Pacman Jones. OK, not really, but the Ranch Report has a long article on that possibility.   Here’s Pacman’s lawyer discussing the Cowboys.

"Jerry Jones is a strong owner and a proven leader. Over the years the Cowboys have given players with a plethora of issues another chance. The Terrell Owens acquisition is just a recent example. The Cowboys have enjoyed risk-taking success, and they have leaders within their player ranks. Adam will need a good group of leaders around him," said Arora.

The Ranch Report also says we’ve been talking to WR’s Eddie Royal and Devin Thomas at the combine.

Back to Nick Eatman, he says he’s also hearing the rumor of the Cowboys trying to acquire Moss but he doesn’t sound convinced.

And since we’re speculating here, word out of Indianapolis is that the possibility of Randy Moss to the Cowboys is starting to surface. Not sure if that has any legs at all, so for now, let’s keep that strictly in the "rumor category." Sounds tempting for Jerry Jones, considering he still might haunted by not taking Moss back in 1998. But still, you wouldn’t think the Cowboys would have the cash to get that done. And T.O. and Moss together? That deserves a "wow" for so many reasons.

Eatman also looks at the state of our current free agents and nothing much has changed. We want to re-sign Flozell but it looks like he will hit the market. We are talking to Rosenhaus about a long-term deal with MB3, we are still going to work with Ken Hamlin on a long-term deal and I guess we are just going to tender Chris Canty.

I never took the Hall

trade serious anyway. Would've been a bad fit with him and TO on the same team.

not only that, he has serious character issues

not to mention that his contract would be too expensive.

I think it would have been okay.

They do play on opposite sides of the ball and T.O. did apologize.

Will never happen

TO and moss are natural rivals.
Also,doesn't eatman work for the cowboys?
Do you really think he's going to be breaking trade rumors?
probably his job to squelch them...
However I didn't put too much stock in the Hall trade rumors,But it would have been nice to have a good corner to play opposite newman.

I'd rather have hall than Pacman
Or moss for that matter.

I really don't see any big name transactions going on this offseason,we simply don't have the money.
we can probably unload ayodele and get something for him.Otherwise we need to concentrate on our own FA and the draft.IMO.

Zack signed...now SIGN Pacman

He was born to play football. He needs to play football. He needs role models and ass-kickers that will get in his face. Low and behold, the Cowboys just added a "classic" in the leadership category.

How appropriately timed: Zach Thomas adds instant credibility and one Pacman would be wise to emulate on and off the field.

I totally agree with this statement.

The more I look into this scenario, the more I am liking the idea....I am officially on board with signing Pacman to a very very very reasonable contract, as opposed to trading away 1st round picks for DeAngelo Hall, and paying him 10 million dollars....give Pacman a no bonus, cheap, yearly opt out contract like Hamlin's and TO's.

link is in Grizz's post...above

True Cowboys diehard since 1975.

Cant sign when he's suspended

and under contract, plus he wont be available before training camp.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?...

He wont be wearing a cowboy uniform, he's nothing but a headache, he'll never learn

Trade up a few spots to get ahead of Houston and draft Jonathan Stewart, thee best all around Back in the draft.

I'm all for Pacman

Maybe TO'll keep him in line.  Dallas does have a whole lot of strip clubs though...

Give him the tour

Dallas does have a whole lot of strip clubs though...

Maybe Keith Davis could give him the tour?

Yeah...

And special K can catch all the bullets for him!

would love to have T.O. and Moss...

but I'd love to have LT and MB3 too....and that ain't happening either....

Here is a possible 4th-5th CB solution...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/s...

If he can be bought on the cheap....say for league minimum, with a little bonus money $800,000 +...surely better depth than say an Alan Ball would represent....just a thought....come play for a winner on the cheap there Fernando...

Just what we need

another OLD DB...who's not good enough to secure a spot with the lions.

+...surely better depth than say an Alan Ball would represent....

Geez man...Ball was just a rookie...give him a minute...
I've heard some really good things about ball.

One intriguing DB

Here's a name.

FS-Marlon McCree from San Diego, who has played under Phillips and Stewart.

The link below...

http://www.kffl.com/player/929/nfl

... says he'll be released, and he's 30.

I'd love for them to sign the rangy, heat-seeking missile McCree to a minimum contract and pair him with Hamlin to form a hard-hitting coverage tandem.  Talk about a total upgrade over Biscuit.

Hamlin and McCree would shore up the secondary BIG TIME.

Here's a little McCree...

And below is an example of his ball-hawking playmaking...
