It's not really as simple as "who I'd like to pick up" because of the salary cap.

Personally, I'd love to keep Murray and sign Ndamukong Suh at DT but it's fiscally irresponsible.

The Cowboys made the right choice, the Eagles overpaid. There are two RBs that are suppose to go in the first round Gurley and Gordon. In the mock draft I looked and there were four RBs slated to go in the second round. If the Cowboys choose the correct RB in the draft then he should be able to contribute next year at a cheaper price.

I'll give a salary cap answer. . . 

Greg Hardy DE. . . .instant upgrade to our pass rush. . . .would be my #1 target for the right contract

Other DE's to consider:  Jarvis Jenkins   or resigning Spenser. . .

I'm a homer but Justin Blaylock looks like a nice backup OG

Kendric Lewis as a potential S or Lewis Delmous or Dawan Landry

DT prospects in FA:   Ahtyba Rubin DT from the Browns or CJ Mosley or Kevin Williams who was on Seattle's squad last year.

I would not be shocked to see Dallas land at least one from each group plus another LB or two. . . .

Murray for 5 years just wasn't worth it. 2 years, $12 million would have been fair and something both sides would have been able to agree with IMO. McFadden signing is cheap and like others, I believe the Cowboys will target a RB in the 2nd or 3rd round. I do believe that they would have preferred to keep Murray for the sake of continuity, but the price was too steep for a team that has a small window to win (assuming Romo has 2-3 years left). Cowboys fans can be grateful that their front office wasn't irresponsible during free agency like the Jags and Giants.

The reason is......Arkansas. Jones is an idiot.

Not really, this has Stephen Jones all over it.

They evaluated the situation, they like Murray a lot but not at the price he got.

They think Murray is a good back, not a great one, and that what they had last yr was mainly a result of career yr for Murray and a fantastic O line.

Stephen thinks McFadden still has some gas, and lets face it, he was an outstanding college runner.  He is a low risk and klikely temporary guy.  I suspect they will get a good back out of the draft and go from there.

The Cowboys are finally doing this right, they are not overpaying for guys they do not believe to be elite or positions they do not believe warrant it.

I hate to see DeMarco go but think about it, Kelly got rid of McCoy, an argurable better or at least equal back to Murray. 

In addition, Murray is quite possibly about to hit the wall for running backs after such a heavy load last season.

I wish he were coming back, but I understand why they decided not to go to the 21 million guaranteed point.  If it were up to JJ, he would have paid it, Stephen is the cap master for them and they finally seem to be doing things right, stay young, buiold in the drafte and a few FA signings, stay out of cap hell.

Have to agree  with Cheese on this.  especially Greg Hardy, if he got his chit together, this guy would be a great addition

Also want them to resign mcclain

Would be huge if we got him. I am not a fan of his off the field stuff though. Not sure I want to throw all our morales away for any player no matter how good they are.

The NFL should place all the abusers on one team, so I can enjoy rooting against them.
