Normally I wouldn't start a thread based on a report posted on profootballtalk.com, but the Dallas Morning News is corroborating the site's report (below) that the Cowboys have an interest in signing Peerless Price.
The Dallas Morning News reports on its web site that free-agent receiver Peerless Price has talked with the Cowboys about a possible relationship.
"I think he's a pretty good player," coach Bill Parcells said of Price. "We’re just trying to turn over every rock."
Patrick Crayton currently is the third receiver behind Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn. Price likely would bump Crayton to No. 4 -- and bump current No. 4 Quincy Morgan out of town.
Price had his best season in 2002 with current Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe throwing passes to him. Bledsoe signed with the Cowboys in the offseason.
It'd be ironic, in our view, if Price were to sign with the Cowboys. His experience as a great No. 2 but a dud as a No. 1 wideout has drawn comparisons to former Dallas receiver Alvin Harper, who was a stud as second fiddle to Michael Irvin but worthless as to the go-to guy in Tampa.
In Buffalo, Price flourished in an offense that featured go-to receiver Eric Moulds. Though an aging Keyshawn ain't quite the same as Mike Irvin in his prime, Price clearly wouldn't be the No. 1 in Dallas.
And that might be the best bet for Price at this stage of his career.
