If the season were to start tomorrow, Kevin Ogletree would be the Cowboys number three receiver. Of course, if the season started tomorrow, the Cowboys would be concerned about a lot more than the third receiver spot. Still, most are of the belief that Ogletree will still be slotted in at the three slot when the season begins. If he is, he will be a question mark.

Ogletree’s hold on his current position probably isn’t as strong as most people think. Before the season begins, every team in football will have to cut forty some odd players and it’s a good bet that there will be some veteran receivers in that group. Right now, Ogletree is getting a try-out. If he makes the most of it, he’ll have his spot. But, if Kevin has a bad camp, they’ll be scouring the waiver wire for a veteran that can fill the role.

Obviously, signing Free was huge, but the timing of it was also significant. Making sure he remained a Cowboy was priority number one and knocking it out this early frees them to pursue other free agent targets while knowing exactly what they have to work with. Reportedly, they’ve been in contact with Abram Elam and Green Bay defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins. There have also been whispers about possible interest in Eric Weddle. Meanwhile, the team reportedly doesn’t have any interest in Oakland safety Michael Huff. That’s somewhat surprising as he was widely regarded as a target.

Abram Elam wouldn’t be that exciting of an addition, but Elam and Weddle together is a different story. That would give the Cowboys a dynamic safety set for the first time since Roy Williams was a rookie. We will hear more about this today — guaranteed. (more…)
