Norm Hitzges on the Dallas Cowboy Free Agent Picture

1) LA is the highest paid OL in the NFL. Hutchinson is much better at this point and his offer just now brings him to what LA has been making for years.
2) LA will count 7 mil against the cap. Dallas has now signed three OG's.
3) It is very conceivable that LA has played his last game as a Cowboy.
4) The Cowboys will likely let Key go if they make a run at TO.
5) Cowboy fans say "We have a strong coach here. Andy Reid is a strong coach.
6) Dallas will not likley chase Peterson. Many experts believe you don't have to have the "Star" LB to run the 3-4 correctly. That is not to say they don't become stars.
7) The Cowboys only have two LB's right now. I think they want Fujita back but 8) I would not be surprised if they go with a high pick there in the draft. They probably will sign Ayodele.
9) The best affordable FS is gone in Chavous (that's affordable). They may look at Coleman.
10) Dallas wanted Longwell but he is gone. Three teams want Viniateri, Patriots, Packers and Dallas. The asking price is between 2.5 and 3 mil.
11) The best OT is off the market now but Dallas will still likely sign someone.
12) If Dallas had had a good kicker last year they would have made the playoffs. The price between an average kicker and a Viniateri is about 2 mil. Would Jerry have paid 2 mil to make the playoffs? Yes...
13) McNeil and Justice' stock is starting to slip a little bit.
14) I don't think Dallas will take a CB on the first day, much less the first round.
