There was a recent report the Dallas Cowboys were in talks with free agent right tackle Eric Winston and then that was shot down. But where there is smoke, well, there might just be a fire. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones told KRLD-FM on Tuesday that the club is indeed looking at Winston, who was released by the Kansas City Chiefs and is one of several experienced and skilled right tackles on the market with Andre Smith and Tyson Clabo. “He’s obviously somebody that we’re taking a look at,†Jones said, according to the Dallas Morning News. “We certainly haven’t dismissed Doug (Free). We really felt like when we went to rotating him and Jermey Parnell that he really picked up his game in terms of the competition, not to mention the fact that I think he got some clarity as to what (offensive line coach) Bill Callahan was after. “I think there’s some interest and prospects there between what we have and what we could get. Obviously on the interior part of our line the same thing holds true. I think we had some injuries there. Another year under Bill and more work, and not to mention what might happen in the draft. We’ll just have to see how that goes.†Source: National Football Post
I think I'd rather us try to get a tackle in the first round of the draft personally (if one worth taking is available obv) than Winston, but that could just be me.
I bet we are waiting until after the draft I wonder if the have Lane Johnson is on.their radar for a tradeup Sent from my HTC Vivid
As long as we don't trade a second this year along with whatever to get it, I'd be more than alright with that. I don't know about anybody else, but I really kind of want Reid in the 2nd round if he drops to us. I want him a lot.
If he was willing to take a1 year minimum veteran salary then that would be alright as a stopgap but the Cowboys would probably be better off just drafting someone in the 3rd or 4th round and plug him in there. they will get the same production right off the bat if they draft correctly and the young player will have the possibility of improving
Very good chance they draft Warmack or Cooper, so I don't think they will want two rookie starters on the OL. I can see them signing Winston and drafting someone like Armstead in the third Sent from my HTC Vivid
