Cowboys vice president of player personnel Stephen Jones said Wednesday he thinks the club is finished signing free agents this off-season.
In all, the Cowboys signed eight new players, including Terrell Owens, Mike Vandgerjagt, Akin Ayodele, Kyle Kosier and Marcus Coleman.
While the Cowboys might not add any more new players this summer, Jones said the Cowboys still have some unfinished business.
"We've got a few guys with contracts coming up here next year that we want to look at start addressing," Jones said. "We're in good shape this year on the salary cap, but we have some things to look at."
Safety Roy Williams, tight end Jason Witten and linebacker Bradie James will all be unrestricted free agents after the 2006 season unless they are signed to an extension.
"Those are obvious guys that we need to take a look at and see if things make sense," Jones said. "It's something we would certainly like to get behind us because those are the type of people that we want to have on our football team."
I hope ROY goes to my Niners and gets paid!

Kelly Gregg interview (second one down)
Ya know, I grew up a Cowboys/Vikings fan. Loved 'em both. But maybe the Cowboys just that little bit more because they were able to go all the way and get it done despite two heart-wrenching losses to Pittsburgh. (And those were great Super Bowls, btw, before they started that long run of really boring blowouts.)
But their signing of Mr. Owens has put a really bad taste in my mouth. I honestly don't feel like I can root for them while he is on their team. I know the Cowboys have always had their share of loudmouth reprobates. But this clown is on a different planet.
Now if you add to that them letting TRRW go, I am permanently done with them.
On that note, if they do the colossally stupid move of letting him go, what might be fun is if da Bears ended up somehow getting him. And the question would then become, at least on paper, is the Bears defense the greatest of all time? Urlacher, Harris, Williams anchoring = NASTY!

He just went up a notch farther in my book. Great quote.“My mom and dad have been telling me that for a while,” Ingram said. “Football is one thing, but they wanted to make sure I had my education. That is what I went to college for. I was on a football scholarship and it was an opportunity for me to get my education. My family always tells me that you can always hurt your legs or your arms.”
Maybe old news, but just thought I'd share.
Ravens | Cody recovery going well; he’s switching to linebacker
Tue, 9 May 2006 06:51:44 -0700
Jamison Hensley, of the Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens DE Dan Cody (knee) is progressing well from last preseason's knee injury. Based on Cody's strong comeback, team officials expect him to not only be ready for training camp but also to play an expanded role in their defense. Cody, originally slated to be a pass-rush specialist this season, is on track to play outside linebacker. Without a second legitimate safety, team officials have projected that the Ravens could start four linemen, four linebackers and just three defensive backs (two cornerbacks and one safety) - a formation that would allow Cody to get on the field as a starting linebacker. Playing that position is an on-going transition for Cody as he only played defensive end in college. Cody is scheduled to participate in minicamp next weekend, but there is a chance his play could be limited. "I feel like I'm 90 percent," Cody said. "The strength is there. It's just a matter of endurance."Broncos | S. Alexander trying to add weight

Fri, 26 May 2006 17:47:26 -0700
ChicagoBears.com reports Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith was asked about the team's No. 2 wide receiver spot and he replied: "Bernard Berrian finished very strong last year, so going in Bernard will get a long look. Mark Bradley was the starter before he went down. Airese Currie has outstanding speed. So it's hard to say. We have a good group of guys. We need a No. 2 receiver, but three receivers play quite a bit. I think we're going to like all five of the receivers that we keep this year. If you asked me what will be the most competitive position that we have, I would start off with that No. 1."

Brad Biggs, writing for the Sporting News, reports Chicago Bears WR Mark Bradley's (knee) rehab from knee surgery looks to be on or ahead of schedule. At this point, Bradley projects to be ready for the start of training camp; although there is the possibility the club could look to limit him in contact drills. If Bradley is on the field during training camp, he projects to start opposite WR Muhsin Muhammad.

With RB Priest Holmes' return uncertain, the Chiefs have only RB Quentin Griffin as a proven backup for RB Larry Johnson. "We're not panicking by any stretch of the imagination," Edwards said. "We have a lot of time to decide whether we need another running back. We don't have to decide that today. Training camp is not until July."
