    I'd absolutely take a shot regardless of the fact he's been cut by two teams in the last 8 months.

    If the jets pick up anyone on waivers it should be a WR--we are as thin there as CB.

    Trading that 7th might have bit us in the ass here. Tabor can play, especially for a team thin at CB.

    I doubt we are in the wr market.
    Enunwa,Robbie,Crowder Bellamy, Burnett and Thompson will be your 6. Not sure anything comes loose better than the bottom 2. The top 4 are locks.

    rumor is we could have 1 or 2 spots open at WR. Q, robby, crowder, and bellamy are locks. dortch is considered a lock because PR. thompson and burnett and peake are the others fighting and only peake does anything for special teams but is never gonna be much at WR. burnett is only around because of sam and could be moved to the PS again. thompson hasn't shown much as a WR or special teams player. we could look to add a WR or 2 depending who shakes loose

    I forgot Dortch. He is pretty much a lock. That’s 5 spots I don’t see them upgrading. I think it’s close between Burnett and Thompson. Thompson seemed to be favored last nite. I think Peake is done here. Time to move on. He played a nice role but I think you let the talent pool get stale keeping guys like him instead of looking for someone that offers more.
    Bellamy and cannon will be the gunners.

    peake is an ace special teamer. tay doens't play special teams. thomspon i didn't see do aything on special 3. all 3 don't look like NFL WRs so we could go with peake or someone on the waiver wire better then him and move thomspon and burnett to the PS

    We were actually supposedly exploring a trade for him last season...though that was a previous regime. Still...2015-2016 the guy was an up and coming solid pass rusher. Not sure what happened since

    Worries me a bit that Baltimore cut him. I trust the judgement of that organization regarding quality defensive players

    Think he was just burried behind Denver and Baltimore's talent. Shouldn't be the case here.

    Have to wait and she what Dallas does with him. Even with having to sign Elliott they still have room under the cap for McClain's $5M. $5M may be a bit pricey for him but it may be worth the gamble for them.

    Dallas had already announced they were just waiting for his reinstatement to become official so they can waive him.

    yeah he started and played well for denver but they had von miller already on one side then chubb fell into their laps for the other side and there was not enough snaps to justify keeping ray.

    yeah I wasn't sure if he still belongs to dallas or not but if he does as you say dallas just drafted vander esch and have sean lee. can't really justify paying mcclain 5 mil to be a backup when they are trying to pay zeke, cooper and dak huge deals that will cot likely around 60 million a year total for all 3

    This stumps me. I’m fine with Bell/Ty/Powell/Cannon. Only way it makes sense is if they’re looking for an RB who can handle both kick and punt returns to consolidate a roster spot by cutting Dortch and Cannon.

    They're pretty much set on Dortch filling that role. Cool name though. He was a pretty decent college receiver but it hasn't come together for him yet as a pro
