Outside of a little whispering, the Cowboys have been pretty quiet thus far in free agency. They are getting a few mentions as one of the teams that might be interested in Randy Moss, and their interest in Javon Walker is well known, but other than that, it’s pretty quiet.

They seem to be making more noise with Cowboys that sign with other teams than their own signings. Jacques Reeves signed a big deal with the Houston Texans. I have to agree with Trip over at Bleeding Blue and Silver, this is just way too much money for a cornerback who will be an iffy starter in the league and is probably more of a backup or nickle guy.

Now I can see why the Cowboys let him go. I’d have liked to have kept him — at a far lower cost — just as an insurance policy. You need three solid corners in this league, and the Cowboys only have two proven corners on their roster right now.

Perhaps there is a Ty Law in their future?

We need some type of insurance policy. Obviously, drafting a corner on the first day would be on my list of priorities, but it’s best to cover your bases with a veteran just in case the rookie needs a year before he’s ready.
