Bledsoe to Cowboys?

ESPN.com is reporting that Drew Bledsoe will be released by the Bills before the start of free agency on March 2, 2005. The Cowboys have reportedly expressed interest in Bledsoe.

If the Cowboys acquire Bledsoe, he would likely supplant Vinny Testaverde as Dallas' starting quarterback. At 33, Bledsoe's NFL career may be coming to a close. But, he'd be a big improvement over Testaverde, Drew Henson, or Tony Romo.

I for one would not like to see a deal consummated. Anyone have any thoughts?

Bledose is not a great QB anymore or anything; but he would certianly be an upgrade for the Cowboys. So therefore, I would not like to see a deal with them come together. I think if the Cowboys go in with their QB's as is, they are going to struggle. With Bledose, I think they could be in ok shape, which is bad news for us.

I would be all for it,he's not mobile and he's at the tail end of his career and it would prolong Dallas developing a qb,unless theyre planning on bringing back Vinny for another yr,I'd rather see them do that

If you put him in the right situation, namely behind a solid o-line, Bledsoe can still air it out. As a side note, anyone else find it kind of crazy that Bledsoe is seen as old yet he's younger than guys like Jeff Garcia, Brad Johnson, Tren Green?

I think the Cowboys are definitely going to bring someone in, but I think it will be someone not quite as experienced (read: old) as Vinny and not nearly as raw as Henson.

Someone like Brian Griese comes to mind.

What's the salary cap situation for the Cowboys? I think they still need a playmaker at WR

I think it would be a questionable move for Dallas to bring in Bledsoe, depending on how much $$ he is asking for. He is better than the other QBs on the roster, but he is clearly declining and I question how much of an improvement he would be over Vinny. I would not be too scared if they got Bledsoe, as this team has many other needs, and acquiring him is not going to put the Cowbitches over the hump.

they have a decent receiver corp, I dont think thats a huge need.
Bledsoe would be a huge upgrade for them and can definitly air it out. I hope hes a bust and costs them a lot of money, of course, but if their running game with Jones gets going bledsoe can be dangerous.

His limited mobility could be fun for our defense though.

I like Bledsoe - hope he doesn't go to the Boys. I think the Bills had problems protecting him (he was around P.Ramsey numbers in sacks) so if he has a line watch out!

drew has always tended to hold onto the ball too long, but hes got a cannon

Bledsoe had Willis McGahee really cranking up in Buffalo this year and he still played like garbage. He had Eric Moulds to throw to and rookie Lee Evans had a solid season. I can't imagine that his surrounding talent in Dallas would be significantly better than what he had in Buffalo. The only reason to believe Bledsoe might have a better year in Dallas is the fact that he's so familiar with what Parcells tries to do on offense. I see no reason to fear the Cowboys if they pick up Bledsoe. The reason to fear them would be the large amount of cap room they have, and flexibility to make other major moves this offseason.

Bledsoe is definitely on the downside of his career but he can still play and he's certainly an upgrade over old man Vinny.
