Chaz actually played well once he got healthy. He got better the more snaps he was getting until he got hurt again. That's really going to be the issue with him, can he stay healthy.

I know Romo is a big topic, but why can't Jerry just promise him a trade if his contract gets reworked.

I'm not sure how something like that would work. I will say that the Cowboys are better off keeping Romo. Showcase him in the preseason. If he plays well and stays healthy his value skyrockets.

Can't really promise him a trade if the other teams are pretty certain they can pick him up after he's cut.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was caught on camera pulling on a woman's shirt and exposing her left breast during Saturday's St. Patrick's Day parade in Dallas.
Elliott was seen partying on a Greenville Avenue bar's roof with a group of people during the parade.
In a video shared by TMZ, Elliott can be seen pulling down the woman's shirt to show her breast after she motions at them and then points at Elliott.

Also the girl was actually asking him to pull her top down and partied with Zeke and his friends after it happened.

Looks like our defense is going to have a different look to it, especially in the secondary.

I heard they offered him $5 mil a year but he turned that down. I hope they do give him the $7 mil. That will be another comp pick. I think that would make 5 comp picks in 2018.

No chance the Ravens nor the Jets nor anyone else were going to give him that. I guess he can prove he's worth it by trying to replace Revis.

Re: 2017 Cowboys Off Season Thread
OK. I'm drinking the kool aid. Savoring it. This will be the ultimate test of the McClay/S. Jones/Garrett regime. If they hit home runs this draft like they did last year... and actually fix the defense, then I have a real, real good feeling about where our heroes are heading going forward.

I definitely like hearing Stephen confirm that their plan is to build through the draft. Maybe sign a reasonably priced FA here and there but the main focus is on bringing in players through the draft. Also like hearing their focus is on the defensive side.

Screw that. We need pieces on offense and more depth.
