Will Demarcus Ware Ask For 'outrageous' Salary To Rejoin Cowboys

... to develop the young players they have in place. Question: How much will the salary cap put a bind on Dallas bringing players back? How many of their own veterans do you think they can afford. Moore: The Cowboys are currently $3.27 million under the cap. That's not enough to do much of anything. They must restructure more contracts and just started with Sean Lee, freeing up another $5 million to give the club roughly $8.5 million in room at the moment. They can add another $5.1 million to that total immediately if they take the entire hit on Tony Romo's contract this season rather than spread it over two seasons. Bind is a good word. They don't have much room to operate. I believe they will lose one or two of their own free agents they would prefer to keep due to their cap constraints. But they are still in much better shape than they were two offseasons ago when they found themselves at a contract impasse with Dez ...

Demarcus Ware Meets With John Elway, Will Likely Test Free-agent Market

... more of a want than a need for Denver. A return to Dallas, where he started his career and spent nine seasons, might be an option. “It’s the injury history more than anything else because he’s fairly productive still when he’s on the field. He just can’t stay on the field,” said former agent and current CBS Sports salary-cap expert Joel Corry. “… I wouldn’t be shocked if he went back to Dallas. They need a pass-rusher in the worst way. He’s really more of a luxury for Denver than necessity because they drafted Shane Ray to replace him. That happened in Kansas City — Dee Ford took over for Tamba Hali. And also Shaquil Barrett’s an improving player. You need more pass-rush depth, but you don’t necessarily need De Marcus Ware, particularly if he’s not willing to accept less of a role than he’s had in the past.”.

The Dallas Cowboys 'need' To Re-sign Demarcus Ware

... thought heading into free agency for the Dallas Cowboys can be summed up in two words: Pass rush. They lack one, they need one and they won't ever be considered serious contenders for a Super Bowl without one. Few understand this better than legendary strong safety Darren Woodson, who won three Super Bowls as a member of the club from 1992-2003. In that time, Woodson played alongside the likes of Jim Jeffcoat , Tony Tolbert, Ken Norton and illustrious Hall of Fame defensive end Charles Haley.

What Losing Terrell Mcclain Would Do To Cowboys; Why D-ware's Return To Dallas Isn't Likely

... pass rush via free agency. Scales: Yes, yes, yes. It's not just a "chance," it's a necessity. But it's also likely that it will be with guys who are not household names like De Marcus Ware or Jason Pierre-Paul. The Cowboys can't count on an edge rusher being available at the bottom of the first round, and it would take a king's ransom to move up in the draft to take one of premier players. So I'm expecting the team to continue what it did in 2016 when it targeted guys like Cedric Thornton and Benson Mayowa. They can also re-sign their own free agents, like Jack Crawford. Not splashy, but guys to fortify the rotation at defensive end. Q: De Marcus Ware is looking like a reasonably priced option. Would you go after him in free agency. Scales: By the time I finish typing this sentence, there could be word about De Marcus Ware re-signing with the Broncos or getting a new deal someplace other than Dallas. But Ware met with John Elway ...

Why Free-agent Guard Kevin Zeitler Will Break The Bank, Where Demarcus Ware May Land, More

A bigger story on the conversation can be found here , but Corry offered up much more about players the Broncos could target and others they may see go this offseason. On Romo. “I expect Romo to be a Bronco. Houston may actually be his more favored destination because it’s in the state of Texas and it’s an easy transition. He wouldn’t be uprooting his family in the same way as he would with Denver. But Denver, (recent) Super Bowl champions, just a quarterback away, it makes sense.”. On Trevor Siemian’s status if Romo is signed. “I’d keep him, just from the standpoint you don’t have any money put in quarterbacks right now. It’s not like his cap number of $600,000 and some change is going to be really a hindrance to them cap-wise, and it’s not like Trevor Siemian is some established quarterback who should have a huge problem if someone of Tony Romo’s caliber came in when there’s no guarantee he’d be the starter anyway if they don’t bring a vet in.”. On Bengals guard Kevin Zeitler. ...
