Mickey:
Apparently SD had second thoughts about letting Stewart interview. I guess they are having third thoughts now and will let him. This deal should get done soonly. Wade needed someone he knew and worked with on defense. Someone that he was familiar with. This looks like a pretty decent staff on paper.
On the offensive side of the ball, he has Sparano and Garrett, plus he brought in some good veteran guys to coach positions. It'a a promising staff. I like the fact that they have some younger guys taking care of the QB. You have Garrett and Wilson. Wilson has played and coached for a while now. Romo isn't a finished product yet and needed some good direction. I think these are good hires.
The next guy the Cowboys focus on will be Columbo. They want to get it done before FA as to not have his price driven up. If he has a good agent he will know his worth and they can get it done if the price is right.
McBriar is probably the next guy they try to get signed. Do you want to give him a long term deal? I think they have to because other teams may make a run at him.
It looks like Dallas has a lot of money, but after re-signing these guys and doing contracts it takes a good bit of what you can do. The Cowboys put themselves on a budget and are managing it well thus far.
I don't think Dallas will go out and make a big splash in FA. They have already made a big splash in some respects. You are always taking a chance when you go sign other teams cast-offs. Dallas also got burned on a couple recently, namely Vanderjagt. There are good players that are out there for other reasons, like Adalius Thomas, but most are out there because they aren't worth the contract they are demanding.
