I largely agree. I don't see a major hole in the starting lineup of Atlanta. THere are some holes depthwise. I don't know if GRaf is who I want backing up OT all alone. Ithink our guard/center depth is really good. WR we have 4 good ones. TE we need one. I'd probably consider re-signing Toilolo. We're losing no one at RB. Our 3 DL FA are good (Babs, Freeney and Upshaw) but all are replaceable if need be. We'll need some LB depth, as 3 of our 7 (including IR and practice) backup LBs hit FA. But that should be cheap to fill and I'm sure there will be a 3/4 pick used for that. WE're losing 2 safeties to FA, so we probably need one more for depth.
Overall Atlanta isn't bad off on paper for next year. It's why I don't mind going for a big signign like JPP or Berry if it will work and not hamper us long term. Like in my mind I dream of the impact that they'd have. Imagine if instead of Tyson Jackson you have JPP or if instead of Ricardo Allen you have Eric Berry. Add in that Berry was born just outside of Atlanta and it may be a draw for him.

It is moreso the team not wanting to pay Cousins what he's asking for.....and to be fair, what QBs are getting. If they can trade him for a first round pick, I will personally drive him to his new destination.
Cousins reminds me a lot of the Matt Cassell situation. Beating crappy teams with a fantastic offensive system (and weapons) and nice looking stats. But, everytime the pressure gets cooked up Cousins turns into a midget.
Maybe Cousins goes somewhere and surprises me, but he will already be 29 when the season starts...how many more good years would he have if he's actually good (3-5?) Plus, he's a huge whiner.

The franchise tags and early cuts are getting interesting. Berry got PAID

Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I'm about as certain as you are that this rumored deal will not happen. If it did, a draft pick from both teams would be the likely return for Dallas, IMO. Now, I'm dreaming here, but if somehow, some way, the Cowboys could get San Francisco's #2 pick, I would do a happy dance. Myles Garrett, Jonathan Allen, or Solomon Thomas would be a dream scenario. Again though, not likely to happen.

I can't imagine there is any chance the Cowboys trade Romo to an NFC team, much less a division rival.
I'm betting Romo is either in Denver or Houston before the start of the draft. NYJ or Buffalo are also possibilities, though I'm not sure he'd agree to go there (if he has a say in the matter). Romo is looking for a ring, so he'll want to go to a team that is built to win now.
If they Cowboys want to get anything out of Romo they need to get him to redo (at least somewhat) his contract to try and get the cap hit this year down somewhat AND they need to get all of these teams who allegedly want him to start actually bidding for him. Right now most of what I"m hearing is that teams like Denver will go hard after him AFTER he's released. I for one am tired of seeing teams like Denver just sit back and wait for other teams to make bad decisions or necessary decisions and then they'll be happy to take something once it's free. If Romo will make his contract as "user friendly" as possible then maybe the Cowboys will get one of the other teams who need a QB to blink and offer a draft pick, because anybody who trades for him gets him and all the teams like Denver who wait to get him for nothing get exactly what they deserve IMO. Let's be honest here, if Dallas even gets a 4th rounder for him they'll be extremely lucky. I'd certainly like to see them get more but I think that's a pipe dream.
So Kapernick says he'll stop kneeling for the national anthem. I'm sure that's all due to him being a free agent. I hope no one signs his ass and he ends up as one of those broke athletes down the road.
