B. Moore may be off the market soon...

Per Ian Rapoport :

 

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Cowboys are "in talks" with free agent OG Brandon Moore.

Both of the Cowboys' starting guards are on the shelf, and Moore is far-and-away the best remaining interior lineman, so a deal would make a lot of sense. The Cowboys are also reportedly considering free agent OG Brian Waters. Someone should be signed by Wednesday.

 

 

It looks like Moore wont be coming to the rescue before the season starts.  Not that I had my hopes up but at least we can cross his name off the list.

we've got garry. why in the world would we need moore?

The problem is if Moore wants a multi-year deal and the Panthers obliged, that would make it impossible to re-sign Hardy. There is no way Moore (who I believe graded out as the fourth best right guard) would come cheap.

At the end of the day, I'd rather have the Kraken.

But I get your point, the right guard position is just brutally bad and it needs to be addressed with someone better than the likes of Chris Scott.

I think they might just be waiting for Wharton to except a vet minimum contract.

I'm beginning to think Gettleman is wanting to stick with what we have and have Kugbilla take over eventually during the season. To be honest he can see these guys everyday and I guess he sees enough potential in Kugbilla to not bring in a moderate money free agent to protect the right side. I just hope Cam doesn't end up paying for this high risk game Gettleman is playing with Kugbilla.

It can't be for kugbilla. He hasn't even practiced yet.

I'm gonna be so pissed if the offensive line is struggling and Gettle doesn't do anything about it. As if he's setting Cam up for failure.

You have just created a paradox. How does one set someone up for failure that cannot fail?

Eg: what happens when an immoveable object meets an unstoppable force?

Answer: Yes We Cam

That's what scares me. Either he sees potential in Kugbilla who, while promising, has hardly practiced or honestly thinks Garry Williams is an NFL caliber starting RG. It wouldn't surprise me if we scrape someone off waivers once teams make cuts, but it seems management really likes Kugbilla even though he's hardly practiced. That's the vibe I'm getting.

I guess we'll know for sure in a few weeks...

    • Good thought and I agree.  Nothing about this process compromises that premise. In fact, the process involves meeting more needs so you can do that.  If I can get an Edge on a rookie contract when my biggest need is LB, then I have enough $$ saved on the overall cap to get an elite rookie edge in the draft and sign a veteran LB in free agency. If I draft the LB first, my biggest need, then my savings against the cap (when looking at the 53-man roster) is minimal.  I have not saved enough $$ to sign the edge in free agency, so I have to try to draft the edge later, getting a lesser player.  Even if you draft an edge and the roster is full of them, you have trade capital because a lot of teams need a good edge.  This lends credence to the BPA theory if it is aligned with positions that are expensive on second contracts. In the cap era, you have to think it through-it is like a puzzle.   That is why I did not like it when Marty was drafting RBs (Willliams and Stewart) in the first round.  If you recall, that necessitated moving up for Otah, trading away next year's first rounder to do so.  That is the draft we really needed an edge, but since we did not have a first rounder, we took Everette Brown to fill that need.  Then it got worse.  We had 2 RBs on second contracts, Brown busted, that led to drafting Clausen, etc.  If you can get 2 starters for the price of one, that is what I would call smart--not overthinking, if I understand you.  I do agree, but that does not mean draft your trench players first.   It could mean draft an edge and use the cap savings to sign a trench player.
    • The DLine needs to do its job too - currently I only trust Brown to do that.
