sandtrapjack 02-26-2008, 01:12 PM in a year where Washington says they are not going to be big players in the FA pool, seems as though they may want to. Dallas is talking about Randy Moss, Stallworth, Javon Walker, they signed Zach Thomas. The G-men are trying to get Deangelo Hall to improve an all ready damn good defense, and now the Eagles are talking about making a run at Asante Samuel. Its early, but if these teams improve as much as they are rumored to be, we need to make some sort of move. I would be more inclined on making a move to bring a top notch corner vs a WR.
It only makes sense that division rivals will be rumored to make moves to counter another divison opponents strengths.
When you have a QB in your division that racks up over 4000 yards and 23 TD's, or a WR that accumulates 15 TD's and 1400 yards, you need personnel and strategy to counter that. So the G-Men, and Eagles looking to bolster thier defensive backfield with the likes of Samuel or Hall to counter threats like Romo, Owens, Witten, S. Moss, Cooley etc only makes sense.
But this is the worst time of year for rumors. The last few days before free agency and more than tons of speculation. All unsubstantiated, but enough to cause a fervor.

Here's a link to the story regarding the Moss rumors. I've been saying it all along, New England doesn't pay their players. If they don't pay Tom Brady, who is the reason for their Superbowls, and they didn't pony up for Vinietari (sp?) another key component for their Superbowl wins, they are not going to pay for Moss. That is plain and simple. Now, we have a situation where a top team can become dominant. I mean, look at what the Patriots became last year...the team had a WR corps of Moss, Welker (a steal from Miami), and Stallworth. You know Jerry Jones is going go after Moss with a ton of money. I say hey, let's make a run at him and steal him from the Cowboys. We need a big time receiver, and in lieu of going after Chad Johnson, who would cost us several picks, let's go after Moss. We're the gurus of the salary cap, and we can work it out. Can you imagine a WR corps of Moss, Moss, and ARE, along with Cooley? With a more polished and cannon-for-an-arm Campbell throwing? I say why not.
cocoajoey 02-26-2008, 01:42 PM This is a diaster waiting to happen to wide outs who want the ball all the time. The clock is ticking if they get moss!

We should only go after Moss if he would better our team not to supposedly damage the Cowboys.
It is arguable that a Moss signing will make their team worse in the locker room and with the cap and age.
Moss' agent is doing a great job of driving up his price...he needs to make up for lost revenue...this is the time to create a frenzy

Haven't you learned by now that being a big player in free agency doesn't work. We need to build through the draft, especially since we're one of the oldest teams in the league with barely any cap room.
freddyg12 02-26-2008, 07:00 PM fyi, sportscenter is going to have J. Clayton reporting on this. probably no more than what's already being speculated
Campbell17 02-26-2008, 07:08 PM Just remember, only one of them can have the ball at a time. Im not too worried either A) that it will happen of B) that they will be that much better.
Longtimefan 02-26-2008, 07:09 PM And I also bet that they will trade both their #1 picks and move up on the draft and get Darren McFadden.
That coupled with the acquisition of Moss would be JJ's idea of putting the "wow" into the offense.
GTripp0012 02-26-2008, 07:17 PM And then their safeties will be Roy Williams and Ken Hamlin, and they still won't be able to cover anybody.
If Dallas was going after Asante Samuel in the same way they are going after Randy Moss, they would actually improve their team.

Kind of off-topic, there are actually a lot of rumors that Roy Williams might not be a Cowboy in 2008. I'd be surprised though
