Rumor: Cowboys to pursue Simms?
Tim McMahon of the Dallas Morning News is hip to Jerry Jones' game. Although Jones has said the Dallas Cowboys won't be looking to make a big impact by signing big name free agents this offseason, he's compiled a list of potential candidates to make the move to Dallas, and Chris Simms is one of the key players on it.
After Tony Romo sustained a pinky injury during 2008, the Cowboys were left with Brad Johnson as their starter and the team went 1-2 during that stint including a demoralizing loss to the the St. Louis Rams, who finished 2-14 in 2008.
Although the Cowboys had internal discussions about trading for Simms in 2008, no deal was finalized and Simms spent the season on the Tennessee Titans roster, alternating between the second- and third-string. Simms had his most productive season in 2005 when he completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,035 yards, finishing with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Also of note, Simms and Roy E. Williams, for whom the Cowboys traded in the middle of 2008, played together at the University of Texas.
