The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.

It's not ideal, but I don't know that the Cowboys are going to really want him that badly either.

Cowboys tried to trade for him last year before he was injured. Just need to move off getting Thomas because he is going to Dallas.

Gut feeling, they rolled over 11 Million from last year. So Dallas as it stand right now has 54 Million in cap space, that is before they cut anyone, restructure, and extend anyone.

I'd prefer that option.

We've been hearing about the Cowboys trying to trade for him for what, like 2 years. I dunno about it.

Dallas just doesnt' really have anyone to cut though from what I can tell that will save them that much, plus they're gonna have to start signing some guys.

$46 million in cap space and they really only HAVE to sign one guy......Lawrence.

Yeah....they could work on a new deal for Amari Cooper or Byron Jones.

They didn't trade a first for Cooper to NOT sign him long term.

They've got a lot of big names coming up soon. Dak and Zeek, Jones, Cooper etc.

We shall see.

I didn't say they weren't. I said they DON'T HAVE TO right now. They could let him play out his current deal and then sign him.

There's no way you sign a big $$$ FA agent at the ILB position two years in a row.

You can draft one with one of the 2nd round picks though, maybe even the 1st round pick.

FA money should absolutely go to a top safety and possibly DL (think one-year deal to Sheldon Richardson, Suh or another player).

Probably wishful thinking but I would also like to trade a 2020 pick for a veteran CB who still has about two years left in him.

All in all, you sign a top safety, you draft a CB with the 1st round pick, another CB/safety later in the draft, you trade for a veteran CB and you can have a real good secondary starting next year.

Fair enough but he is not a Free Agent.

They also rolled over 11 Million to 2019 in cap space.

It's true they do, but they also have 119 Million in cap space next offseason.

I think Veach would be smart to try to sign players like a Eric Weddle who might be released by his team. Then, it won’t count against the comp formula while guys like Nelson get overpaid.

Could be a good chance to collect those comp picks.

These are things that he needs to think about as they prepare to build a roster around a very expensive set of stars in the future.
