Those Dallas Right Tackles

[Jeremy Igo]

Dallas is in quite a conundrum this off season. They are in the rare position of having two starting caliber right tackles on the team, but both will be free agents come March 10. 

 

Doug Free was the starter most of the 2014 season with the Cowboys until a foot injury sidelined him. Then, Jermey Parnell stepped in and played just as well as Free, including starting the two playoff games. 

 

It is doubtful that Dallas will sign both players, as both know now that they are starters in the NFL. So one of these guys will be available. 

 

Most agree Free is the better player, but not by much. Parnell is 3 years younger, the Cowboys may go with youth. 

 

The Panthers look like they have a solid player in Mike Remmers, but there is no depth at tackle on the squad. The idea of bringing in another right tackle to compete, or possibly even toying with either at left tackle may be enticing to Dave Gettleman.

Free was a solid LT too, we could bring him in to play there

Could be. He is 31, should still have a few good years left in the tank. 

[Mr. Scot]

I'm not a big fan of Doug Free as a left tackle.

Yet he would be a big improvement over Bell instantly. 

 

(I realize thats not saying much)

from what i've heard doug free was bell-esque at LT

[Mr. Scot]

Yet he would be a big improvement over Bell instantly.

I want more out of this offseason than just 'better than Bell'.

[Dex]

I'm tired of the mindset of mediocrity our fan base has. Doug fuging Free at left tackle? Lawd.

[Jeremy Igo]

Free was a stud LT in 2010. Not sure what happened. 

[WOW!!]

I want more out of this offseason than just 'better than Bell'.

Other than getting magic from a rookie we...that might be the best we can do..

Quite possible. We are on a Wal-Mart budget still.

Still better than dollar tree shopping we did last year. .

Free was a good left tackle, he took too much heat from Dallas fans when he played there. Lost his job because Tyron smith is the man

Both are below average OT but would be upgrades for us.
