Cowboys Could Be Interested In Ex-Rams FS O.J. Atogwe?

The Dallas Cowboys could be in the market for free agent safety O.J. Atogwe who became an unrestricted free agent on Friday when the St. Louis Rams released him instead of paying him an $8-million roster bonus. According to the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys need more takeaways from their safeties. A turnover specialist, Otagwe has recorded 21 intrerceptions and 16 forced fumbles since becoming a starter in 2006. The closest Cowboys in that five-year span is outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware–22 forced fumbles and an interception–and. cornerback Terrence Newman–17 interceptions and four forced fumbles. Atogwe is free to sign immediately with any team before the CBA expires on March 3rd, but the six-year pro will take some time to evaluate his future before making a decision.

Yes, please.

 

This.

A year later than it should have been but better late than never.

 

Don't get too excited guys. Mj called dibs days ago.

 

Screw MJ's dibs.

 

Respect the dibs or karma will not be kind to the Boys.

 

Cowboys were my prediction...:icon_rolleyes:

 

Browns could pay him and I wouldn't mind. They could use a turnover guy at FS with Ward at the other spot and have a hole that wouldn't even be too well-served by resigning Abe Elam. Who knows if he'd even be interested but that's how I rationalize it.

 

Cowboys, plz.

 

Dallas really needs a playmaker back there. This seems like a perfect fit, no?

 

Wow. Just wow. Suddenly Omenese has become what appears to be undecipherable Jamacian patois.

 

I thought Atogwe was the perfect fit this year, hopefully he visits Dallas, before he decides his future.
