Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

[ethat001]

It's an interesting time to be fiscally responsible, since we apparently we have the 4th lowest payroll right now, and have an uncapped year where we could be crazy and sign ALL the FA's on the market without much problem.

BUT I like the decisions made so far because they seem -- smarter. Now, I'm still concerned for the O-line, but at least that has been focus so far. I wouldn't have minded overpaying for Pashos or Clifton on a year like this, but they've made a strong statement with their moves. I'm hopeful there's a plan with the draft and picking up stop-gap veteran O-linemen somewhere later as well.

I just hope is that come September 2010 our QB is not staring at the clouds on his back.

What about Montre Holland the OG from Dallas we're trying to score? Y'all trying to tell me he's not better than Will Montgomery? He wouldn't give Dock a run for the money?

Just a word of caution on Holland that you should be aware of.

1. He is the ONLY Unrestricted Free Agent Dallas has and they dont want to resign him.

2. He was acquired in a trade with Denver in 2008 for a 5th round pick. Denver was glad to be rid of him as he had a bevy of fines from the team for consistently showing up to camp overweight and out of shape.

3. Since arriving in Dallas he has not had any real measurable playing time, he is WAAAAY down the depth chart behind guys like Free, Proctor and McQuistan. Free and Proctor are very good, but if anyone is BELOW McQuistan on the depth chart, that person should consider a career change.

Just wanted you guys to be aware of what we as fans have had to endure since acquiring Holland.

Have you every met Stephon Heyer or Will Montgomery? If the guy is trash I'm sure Shanny will show him the door. If he can beat either one of those two guys, that's a step up. Thanks for getting back. My homeboy was talking about him this morning. From the schimmy I get, he was on the bench last year but did good the year before that.

Yeah, that was the year that Dallas was 21st in rushing and missed the playoffs. So if that is what is defined as "good", well, okay.

He played for Shanahan so if we pick him up then I am sure he will fit.

hadn't heard anything about that until your post
