Romo Receives New Contract, Now Just Has To Earn It

Joshua Huff — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:00:51 +0000

I can never tell if Romo is the luckiest or unluckiest quarterback in the NFL. During the season, it would appear that he is both.

Austin On Dallas: Is Mike Jenkins Mentally Ready To Help The Cowboys?

After several months of silence, Mike Jenkins finally spoke to the media this past Monday. The controversial off-season that changed his role with the Dallas Cowboys was the topic at hand. First of all, I fully believe for the most part Mike Jenkins is an honest, straight-forward guy. If asked a question and he feels a response is appropriate at that moment, his response will generally be truthful.

2012 Cowboys Free Agency: Analyzing Early Signings and Roster Decisions

With a mere two days of 2012 NFL Free Agency in the bag, the numerous, impacting moves and maneuvers have come at a frenzied pace. For the Dallas Cowboys most of this offseason involved discussions of Carl Nicks, Cortland Finnegan, and Brandon Carr as must-get guys. It seemed all along that one of these three high-profile players had to dawn the silver and blue to provide a new optimism in Dallas after much hard luck of late. With Nicks signing an unprecedented contract for an offensive guard in Tampa Bay and Finnegan quickly secured in St. Louis, the Cowboys impressively finished off talks with Brandon Carr and secured the imperative services of the stingy defender. It would have been a real blow to the Cowboys faithful if Carr had slipped by. First losing Nnamdi Asomugha to the rival Eagles in 2011 and then just missing on Carr in 2012, one can only imagine how bitter that outcome was going to taste for Cowboys loyalists. Fortunately Jerry Jones never allowed much doubt and locked up his new high performance race Carr with a 5-year lease to replace the sputtering Terence Newman.

Moving on, let’s take a look at some of the major decisions and transactions made so far in free agency directly affecting the Dallas Cowboys. Be aware the details and on goings of free agency and the draft are very fluid now and changing by the moment. If transactions have altered or occurred beyond the moves discussed below, don’t kill the messenger. Also, all moves won’t be discussed, just several major ones that directly involve the Cowboys. We’ll start off with analyzing and grading the new additions Dallas has made to the roster thus far and proceed from there.
