Stephen Jones on $10 million cap hit: 'It's not going to stop us'

Not according to the ex scout Brian Broaddus on espn radio in Dallas. He basically refused to talk about him at all as any kind of good signing for Dallas and basically made fun of the signing.
As for myself, I thought it was probably an ok signing, but that was based on what he did at OU.

so losing your best defensive player and signing no one equals a win for you?

Mario Williams was not the best defensive player that the Texans had. Matter of fact he probably wasn't even in the top 3. But irrespective of that, yes I consider it a win as there is no way the Texans should of even considered folding out what the Bills did to sign MW. Plus they now have more $$$ to use for other players.

Now I will fully admit my comment is largely based not on what the Texans have or have not done thus far in FA, but rather my complete confidence that whatever personnel decisions the Jones's are making they are the wrong ones. i base this opinion on what has occurred over prior decade in big D.

The Cowboys personnel decisions aren't the best in the NFL but they aren't the worst either. If you were talking about the Raiders over the last decade or the 80's Bucs; then I would agree with you. The Boys have their share of bonehead moves (both Roy Williams come to mind) but they have their share of great personnel moves too (undrafted FA's Miles & Romo). Lose the Cowboy hatred & try to evaluate the individual signings. I don't see any that make me giddy but I didn't shake my head at any either.

....

Kyle Kosier expected to be the next player released by Cowboys.

Based upon all the players Dallas has released or let go in free agency, plus all the ones they have added, I'm beginning to think Jerry was lying to us when he said he thought he had a roster capable of winning a Super Bowl.

Give the Cowboys one of the top 5 NFL Defenses and the chatter would be of a different nature about number 8 I'd bet. Also if Demarco and the Receivers had played all year.

I'm sure you meant to say number 9. Number 8 is in the HOF.

Broaddis is an aggy tool. Pool is better than just about anyone theyve had in the secondary for the past SEVERAL seasons. You ever wonder why Broaddis isnt a scout anymore? Its because he sucks.

Cant believe Dallas is actually improving the secondary for once. They might actually do something worth a damn now.
