As far as free agency goes, I believe it's been more a testament to their inability to do anything insane as opposed to their desire to do something like that.

I agree that our financial situation forced us from doing a great deal in free agency. It's not that we didn't want too, we had to do what we could afford. There were a couple more targets we had our eye on, but they fortunately were priced out of our range.

I'm going to hold my breath now and see what we do with this draft. Are we going to trade away our future like we have constantly done in the past or are we going to make smart moves geared toward the future. So far we still have all our draft choices for next year, will that remain, and we begin building the team the conventional way, or will we revert back to trading away the
future for a quick fix now. After the draft, I'll have a better idea as to whether we're heading in the right direction or not.

Great to see we're not leading the market this year. Maybe someone in the FO has been taking notes and our efforts here have not been futile. I knew Davis was not going to be signed here for what he wanted, so let him kill the Boys cap.

I can't believe the deals that average/good players are getting, it's really insane.

Remind me a lot about this past off season MLB deals for pitching. Overspending for marginal past performances.

if we aren't gonna pay that much for dock then no on him

Nice. At least in a few years other teams will be having cap troubles.

Leonard Davis is no good. There's a reason why they Cardinals let hime go. Plus he's not suited to play guard, he's not nearly mobile enough. I have a feeling the Synder was only entertaining Davis to get the cowboys to have to pay more for him. He' really not a very good player.

exactly! You know his agent was talkin up the skins to JJ; "You know Wash. offerred..."
I said this in the first thread about Davis that I hope we just drive up the price for the boys, so this is good news as far as I'm concerned.
I know the guy has to be an upgrade over an old M. Rivera, but as far as chemistry & work ethic, I question the wisdom of paying big $ to a guy that has been known as not giving his all. I can't think of any player that had such a rep, got paid huge $ & suddenly starting playing at a pro bowl level.
We'll be better off w/a solid rookie IMO, even if there's a drop off in talent.

I kind of wanted him, but thank god we won't be spending the money Dallas is on him, they're are defintely other options available.

These insane deals for offensive linemen is indicative of how important the positions along to offensive line have become. It used to be RB's &WR's garnered the most attention and biggest payday's, now it's good to see the big guys get their due. There is no game without them, it all starts and ends with them.

That Guy · 03-04-2007, 12:59 PM

good non move. no way he's worth that much.

I'm glad we finally see why players want to play for us. Fortunately, we have no cap space to ablige them. High priced free agents = underachievements and injuries.

They chose not to sign Davis and Dock.

Why did they decide not to sign them? Too much money and they are still 2.3 million over the salary cap.

We were under the cap by approx. $6M before the Fletcher and Smoot deals.
