The whole NFL is rapidly approaching the start of Free Agency. The benefit of having free agency before the draft is that teams can address needs with veterans if they want. Right now there is only one position I would say cannot use an upgrade and that is kicker. Not because Dan Bailey played so well, it’s just that Dallas has three on the roster two vets and one said to be better than Bailey. So with so much of an open market for Dallas here are my five thoughts.
1. Should the Cowboys get Peyton Manning?
In a word NO! Manning is great QB no doubt but besides the fact that Manning is coming of multiple neck injuries, he is 4 years older than Romo, and he will command a lot of money he should not be picked up by Dallas. No the real reason not to sign Manning is that he is not a plug and play quarterback. All QB’s have to develop with their receivers, but Manning seems to need more time. He would spend countless hours throwing to Reggie Wayne and that is just a pregame warm up. Mann...

March 08, 2012
The Dallas Cowboys finished like I thought they would, 8-8. This is a time when I hate being right. Of the six winnable games for Dallas they lost only one, Arizona. I said for them to be successful they needed to win 4 of their 6 divisional games and beat the Jets. They did neither of these and so they ended up with only 8 wins. The only team they defeated with more than 8 wins...
