I don't agree, this is Routt's 8th year, and his stats have been less than consistant.

At least Carr has been improving every year so far

You might want to look at Carr's stats again. He had 4 int's last year which was his best but every other stat was better in 09' and 10'. Routt's and Carr's stats are almost 100% identical last year. Routt signed a 3yr $20mil contract and Carr signed a 5yr $50mil contract. Routt was the Raiders #1 corner and Carr the Chiefs #2 corner. I am from KC and a diehard Chiefs fan. I would have loved to keep Brandon Carr but not for that money.

I said consistent.

Routt had a few down years, and at his 8th year, he's only worth a 2-3 year deal. I think the Cowboys were looking for a more long term solution, and Carr being only in his 5th year gives them room to offer a 5 year deal.

I'm not saying that Carr is that much better than Routt, but I think Carr has more potential to improve, and has improved every year for the last four years.

Cowboys picked up Brodney Pool at the Safety spot today, one of Ryan's guys on the Browns

And a Corpus Christi native

That is probably a good pickup.

Holy shit, I guess Jerry isn't planning on shopping next year.

[Silverback]

Cowboys also signed FB Vickers from Houston and OG Bernadeau from Carolina, yesterday

[Silverback]

Holy shit, I guess Jerry isn't planning on shopping next year.

Or he has other money falling off next year, and can throw a big chunk of his salary in that year, to spread out the rest.

You know how WEEE do it...

Maybe, but that i still over 10% of your cap going to one player. You are right, I wonder who is coming off the books.

That was a Stephen signing, not a Jerry. But it was a good pick up for them.

Agreed.

So what happens if miles hurts both his hamstrings again?? I would've liked to see Robinson return.

They will take a WR in one of the first three rounds.

I bet the Cowboys win a SB before the Astros win a world series.

I'm not big on that one. More of the same, really. 34th overall pick, and hasn't had an impressive season yet.

They are trying to get that LB from Carolina, who was a Penn State grad that played with Lee. Unless that deal is already done and I missed it.

To me, this means they are going to do the following. They pick 14th, and if that guard is still there, they will take him. However, whoever picks 9th is also interested, and likely will nab him first. If the Cowboys can get him, great. If not, I see them taking either a WR or DE in the first. In no particular order, first three rounds will be WR, DE, DB. Unless of course, the guard is still there. In which case, they will pick G, WR, DE.

I disagree, his last year under Ryan at the Browns he had 4 INTs and 10 Passes Defended, granted on the Jets he didn't do much. Obviously Ryan sees something in him. Now depending on what they paid him, he's better that what we have for sure. I think they'll take another CB or Safety in the first round. Rumors are also they are looking for another veteran WR, possibly Early Doucet.
