Cowboys ‘Monitoring’
Bobby Wagner Signing
https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys-sign-bobby-wagner-monitor-leighton-vander-esch-seahawks-rumor
---

Future Hall-Of-Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner
remains unsigned as NFL free agency rolls. …
& ... the Cowboys - well aware of a possible
Wagner reunion with the Seahawks - are “mon-
itoring” the status of the durable 32-year-old,
who started all 17 games for the Rams last
season, playing nearly every defensive snap.

.... Wagner recorded 140 tackles, a career-high
6 sacks, 2 interceptions, & 5 passes defended.
Wagner was a 2nd-team All-Pro. 140 tackles,
PFR AV = 13. He turns 32 in a bit over 3 months
from now.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WagnBo00.htm

.... The 11-year veteran is ranked as ESPN's 3rd-
best player available, behind tight end Dalton
Schultz, who takes the top spot on ESPN's rank-
ings. Notably, Odell Beckham Jr., who also has
been tied to Dallas, is No. 4.

Comment:

One of the most outstanding PFR AV histories
I've ever seen. The article above says an anon-
ymous source says "Wagner doesn’t run well
anymore." He ran well enough for the accolades
mentioned above. Seems whatever he's doing,
he certainly isn't declining much.

But the Finances are a Major Road Block

How the Raiders Can Address
the Tight End Position
https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/news/las-vegas-raiders-free-agency-darren-waller-foster-moreau-luke-musgrave-dalton-kincaid-dalton-schultz-austin-hooper

.... In free agency, a player like Dalton Schultz
makes sense. Schultz has posted 198 catches,
2,000 yards & 17 TDs in the last 3 seasons.

Comment: Cowboys seem unwilling to go much
higher than what Dalton earned last year, & some
articles think he'll be paid as much as $15 million
per year, which the Cowboys think is too much.

~~~

Teams Interested in Odell Beckham:
Jets, Cowboys, Bills, actually it's a
long list, so it's anyone's guess as
to which team will sign him
https://nypost.com/2023/03/17/jets-staying-in-touch-with-odell-beckham-in-nfl-free-agency/
https://athlonsports.com/nfl/new-york-jets-reportedly-staying-in-touch-odell-beckham-jr

Comment: Jets only interested if they
can pull off the trade with the Packers
for Aaron Rodgers, & I have no idea how
they'd be able to afford both Aaron ...

.... Rodgers & Odell Beckham. Cowboys
are in good position unless they sign
Bobby Wagner & don't have enough left
to sign Odell Beckham.
