Gary Horton on the Cowboys FA signings

Gary Horton on the Cowboys FA signings
This is from a chat yesterday on ESPN Insider:

Tyrone (Portland, OR): Everyone talks about TO, I want to hear what you think of Dallas' other FA signings, Ayodele, Boiman, Kosier & Vanderjagt. I think we are a Super Bowl contender at this point if we draft well... Thoughts?

Gary Horton: Well, you have to think that the Cowboys WILL draft well, because they hit a home run last year. They did the same thing in free agency this year. They are targeting specific players to fill immediate needs, and get them ready for a SB run. All of their signings make sense to me, but the one I love is Vanderjagt. This is a team that doesn't blow anybody out, they don't score a ton of points. And they're gonna play in a lot of close games. And they now finally have a consistent kicker, who's the most accurate in NFL history. Vanderjagt could be the difference in 2-3 games in 2006, which could put a team like Dallas in the role of winning a division.
