It’s still pretty quiet over at Valley Ranch. The calm before the storm? Probably not. This was a lackluster free agency to begin with, and most of the big names have already signed. About the only big splash the Cowboys could make at this point was arranging a trade to move up in the draft, and that’s probably something that would happen on draft day — if at all.

There are a few interesting free agents still available, Warrick Dunn being one of them. And the Dallas Morning News reports he is interested. Personally, I’d rather have Tatum Bell or Julius Jones, but if the price is right, Dunn could be a good pick up as an insurance policy. Though, if we did go with Dunn, we’d better be planning on spending one of those day one picks on a running back. At age 33, he is old by running back standards, and his 3.2 yards per carry average last year wasn’t exactly impressive — though Atlanta did stink it up pretty bad in all phases of the game.

Those hoping to see a Terrell Owens/Randy Moss combo here in Dallas were no doubt disappointed yesterday when Moss re-signed with the Pats. Previous to last year, I would have been horrified at the notion of Moss and Owens on the Cowboys — both are known for distractions and big egos — but the combination of Wade Phillips at head coach and Tony Romo at quarterback have been enough to make Owens look like a choir boy, so the Moss/Owens combo almost seemed doable.

In the end, I think it’s good that he resigned with the Pats. For one, if the Cowboys weren’t going to get him, I didn’t want any other NFC team to have him. For two, I think it will be interesting to see what the Pats can do next year with their two star receivers still on the team. Will they be just as dominant? Or have teams finally figured out that you have to knock Brady on his butt even if it means not leaving as many people to cover Moss?

Last, but not least, the original Tony Romo is retiring. Or, at least Yahoo is reporting Favre’s retirement. It wouldn’t be the first premature announcement of a retirement, but I think this one will stick.

As much as I rooted against him in the 90’s when the Packers tried to stand in the Cowboys way of a few Super Bowls, Favre has been very fun to watch throughout his career.
