Lg and Te huge question marks. As soon as someone goes down on the oline were screwed.

Ansah Williams Robinson Hyder
kennard davis Jones
Slay Diggs Quin Lawson

2 injured bums on the edge. Completely new lb corps. Lawson still blows.... might be shead by the end of training camp. Kind of scary looking at this group vs our schedule... could be in for a long year.

Draft: focus on edge rusher, tight end and guard to fill immediate holes. Allot of dline depth will be available at 20... pick the best one. Gesicki might be a rd 2 target at TE.

New #Lions C Wesley Johnson allowed 2 sacks, 6 hits, 15 hurries for a total of 23 pressures-- 6th most for NFL centers last year.
Per PFF, he had the lowest run blocking grade and the 2nd lowest pass blocking grade of the ranked centers.
Depth signing. Firmly on roster bubble.

Wesley Johnson had a horrible season in 2017, but played very well in 2016. Hard to know what to make of him when his body of work has been thin and erratic, but it doesn't feel like happy time right now.

Uh... why? If Stafford goes down, this team is toast. If we just spent anything more than the minimum on a third backup that can't win games, it's stupid. Best case, it's training camp/preseason contract with no guarantees, so we can throw all three of our backups out there and get rid of the worst with no cost.

This is what half this board cries about tho lol. Yayyyy we finally have a backup QB!!! Woooooooo!!!
 
I wonder if they may try and deal Ruddock. There have been reports that teams have called about him. I dont know why but it could happen.
 
Dez Bryant is being released by the Cowgirls.

Bryant was informed of his release after arriving at The Star -- the team's headquarters in Frisco, Texas -- to meet with officials, including owner and general manager Jerry Jones.

The plan going into the meeting, according to sources, was to part ways with Bryant, who will not be designated as a post-June 1 cut.

Bryant's future has been the biggest topic of the Cowboys' offseason, with his $12.5 million base salary and $16.5 million salary-cap figure.

Since signing a five-year, $70 million contract in 2015, Bryant, 29, has not recorded more than 69 catches or 838 yards in a season. He missed time in 2015 with a broken foot and was bothered in 2016 with a tibial plateau fracture.

the Cowboys didn't do themselves or Dez any favors by waiting this long to make the decision. They should have done this prior to free agency.

His mouthing off to performance ratio is absolutely abysmal. I didn't realize exactly how bad.
 
Bryant may sign with an AFC team, like perhaps the Raiders, or Chiefs, or Patriots, the last who seem to have a knack for getting more mileage out of scuffling players.
 
I am not sure why the argument is made that he's an elite WR. He's had a good QB his entire career, and has never put up 1,000 yards. Yet he said at one point he was better than Calvin who has a season of nearly 2,000 yards.

He wants to be paid like he's elite, he doesn't perform like he's elite.

Good? Yes. A threat? Absolutely. A guy capable of being a #1 WR? Yes.

A guy capable of being a #1 WR for a Super Bowl winner? I don't see it.

He had 3 years of 1000+ yards and double digit tds.... none since 2014. Average at best as far as production goes. His value is that he's a big body on the outside so the idea would be he opens up the rest of the field.... Not sure of that really happens. That small value you're getting isnt worth the diva/ thug personality you have to deal with.
