AllDayADay Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Sign him up. Wont need to rush D Bell back from his injury or be forced to pick up a O-Tackle in round 1. Give him a 1 or 2 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 He is fading quickly and would want too much money. I guess if we don't get a LT in the draft, he might be worth a look, but he's getting cut for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'm pretty sure that injuries have made him a shell of what he once was (a mere motel, if you will)...BUT...he did play Offensive Line for Chan Gailey for 2 years. In fact, Gailey was the one that drafted him. Keep an eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye on it. I was thinking the same thing if Gailey was on the Cowboys staff when he was there. I think well at least have him in for a visit or workout.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 my initial reaction is "YES!" as we are obviously in need of OTs but the when i stop to think about it, he'll want more money than he is worth, and is a potential cancer. pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafter Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hes still good for a couple personal fouls a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Any way you slice it he's better than what we have now, and even if we do take a LT in the 1st, it would be nice to have a veteran to plug in while he's acclimating to the pro game.

NickelCity Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Give him a one year contract. This would be great depth, and as previously mentioned, take the pressure off a learning rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Adams would sign a one year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocwocka Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 while we're here farting around, somebody else is getting ready to sign the "Hold-all Hotel". He's well beyond on-the-decline. Pass, or better yet... RUN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffmonster Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hes still good for a couple personal fouls a game. I want to think I remember him costing the Cowboys a few big plays last year due to penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I want to think I remember him costing the Cowboys a few big plays last year due to penalties. That's always been a problem w/ him. He's like a bigger, stronger, older version of Bell w/ leverage. Unless he wants a big contract, which he's not likely to get, the worst case scenario is you cut him. It's a low risk move that patches the greatest need on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if we don't get a LT in the draft, he might be worth a look, but he's getting cut for a reason. Money. $2.5M roster bonus, $5.0M salary. He's still decent, but he's not $7.5M decent.

It also seems like teams are willing to put up with dumb personal foul penalties anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Agreed. It also seems like teams are willing to put up with dumb personal foul penalties anymore. He was downright dirty last season. Maybe always has been, but the cheapshots to the Giants player were ugly. But...he's better than what we have regardless of age or penalties. If he could be had for a decent contract you have to do it. There isn't a line in worse shape in the league, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if we don't get a LT in the draft, he might be worth a look, but he's getting cut for a reason. This is exactly the type of signing I was clamoring for LAST season when we traded Jason Peters and started the whole Langston Walker to LT fiasco....... - I am one of those who dont really mind that they traded Jason Peters.....but we needed a VETERAN INSURANCE POLICY if we were going to do that to keep the line stable. Now that we are past that year...I still think this is the type of signing that is needed.....an aging guy but still serviceable who can come in and give whoever we decide is the LT of the future time to be brought along at a reasonable pace. He also has ties to Chan Gailey which would make even more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
