Charles Woodson Still in Search of New Team; Might Dallas Cowboys Look to Sign Him?

The most high profile free agent left on the market is former Green Bay Safety Charles Woodson. The 36 year old, 16 year veteran has yet to sign, but has reportedly made visits with the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos. The New York Giants are reportedly interested in signing him as well. So what about the Dallas Cowboys? Might they make a run at the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year?

Blue and Silver is a much better color scheme Charles, wouldn't you agree?

Maybe. The team has been surprisingly mum on the subject, a stance we wish they would apply to other aspects of the organization. Yet, the team seems to have crossed all of their other to-do's off of their list. Tony Romo extension? Done. NFL Draft? Done. Doug Free situation? Done. The Dallas Cowboys have been surprisingly efficient in their getting-things-done mode in 2013. They've managed to fill a lot of holes on the current roster. The one spot where we have seen little to no action is at Safety, and the team appears to have a glaring need.

Doug Free Will Remain a Dallas Cowboy in 2013

After months of speculation and downright assumption that incumbent RT Doug Free would no longer be with the Dallas Cowboys next season, the exact opposite has occurred. Doug Free has reportedly accepted the pay cut that every media person and their mother thought he wouldn't. Free agreed to the restructure even though it cut his salary in half from $7 million to $3.5 million (give or take a few hundred thousand). While this may be day-ruining news to some, we're here to tell you why this may in fact be a blessing in disguise for both Free and the Cowboys organization. 

Free's struggles in 2012 were abundant and well-documented. His inability to protect the QB stood out above all else, and QB Tony Romo had to be very weary at all times of his front side protection. Towards the end of the season, Free and backup RT Jeremy Parnell worked in rotation to man the position, and saw mildly successful results.

Dallas Cowboys Hoping for Big Things from Small School 4th Round Pick CB B.W. Webb

The Dallas Cowboys have signed their 4th round draft pick from the 2013 NFL Draft, former William and Mary CB William Wilson (B.W.) Webb. The deal is reportedly worth about $2.5 million over four years, with this years cap number coming in at the rookie minimum of about $440,000. 

While signing a 4th rounder isn't usually big news, the Cowboys have high hopes for Webb. It's always tough to know how small-school guys will handle the immense jump in competition. Webb won't be expected to supplant Brandon Carr or Mo Claiborne anytime soon, but one man who should have his head on a swivel is the incumbent nickel CB Orlando Scandrick. 

Webb is known as an ultra-athletic player than can stay with anyone and make plays on the ball. If he can do that better than Scandrick, or if Scandrick suffers from injury problems as he's been known to do, Webb may find himself as one of the important players on Monte Kiffin's revamped defense.

Who Will Be the Dallas Cowboys Play Caller in 2013?

This is the time of year when football season really starts to pick up. Free agency is long gone. The NFL Draft is a memory. Even Rookie Camp has been completed. At this point, we're looking towards OTA's, training camps, preseason, and real NFL Football games.

if the suit fits, Romo may just be calling plays in '13

All that considered, it's a bit concerning that we don't know who will be calling the plays for the Dallas Cowboys offense. Much has been made about the lack of answers given by the organization, especially considering the pressure added by Jerry Jones to want to see changes in this department. Jason Garrett has called the plays since he was hired as Offensive Coordinator in 2007, but the lack of production has left that position up for grabs.

Dallas Cowboys Strategy Going Forward is Crystal Clear

May 3rd, 2013 at 11:43 AM
By Nick Sharp

The Dallas Cowboys often get criticized for having a front office that people perceive know nothing about football. We're not here to debate whether or not that's true. We're here to say that they clearly have a plan, and the team has acted in full-force to implement that plan going forward. That plan revolves solely around the franchise QB, Tony Romo, and him being successful going forward.

When the team handed Romo an 8 figure contract extension, fans and pundits alike were critical. Romo has only won one playoff game in his career, and the team has not been to the playoffs for three years and counting. Clearly, Jerry Jones and his squad of suit-wearing minions felt comfortable overlooking that and truly handing the reins over to Romo.

Everything we've seen and heard since draft day has cemented this plan. Romo had an input on the players drafted, specifically TE Gavin Escobar and WR Terrance Williams. The team also went out and got him a new Center for which to snap him the ball, hopefully in a more timely fashion than has been the custom in recent years. Jones also went on record and said that Romo's contract has come with a caveat that he must spend even more time at team facilities. Romo will also work closely with Head Coach Jason Garrett and Offensive Coordinator Bill Callahan in developing the gameplan week to week.
