Wonder who is going to take a chance on Chris Johnson when the Titans eventually cut him. Also interested to see what McCluster can do, we desperately needed a KR and more offensive playmakers is always good.

Probably more likely that Veldheer and Houston didn't want to come back

Both made public statements about wanting to be back. Rumors of Saffold signing for $8 came out the first day of the tampering period. They were looking to replace Veldheer, and they got an injury prone not as good player for more cash to do it. That simple. Unless they got Saffold to play guard, in which case, he'd be the second highest paid guard in the nfl. Who knows why they let Houston go, but I'm betting it has something to do with incompetence.

And I'm saying I don't care because he's one of the like 10 best players in the history of the stupid franchise and cutting him loving sucks and makes me mad. There were good reasons to let Emmitt go too, that didn't make it any less loving awful.

I'm sure they will replace him ably though, what with their mountains of cap space and keen drafting accumen.

See I made my peace with this last season when I saw how he was playing and I looked at our cap situation this season. There was just no way to make it work realistically without killing the ability to re-sign Tyron Smith and Dez Bryant.

Also I don't believe that the Cowboys draft poorly, and the team is pretty drat good at finding good players late in the draft or as UDFAs. Our cap situation blows though so it's all we've got.

E: Also even if he goes to the Eagles there's nothing he showed last season that should lead you to believe that Tyron Smith can't handle him 1-on-1

Does McKenzie just want to make sure all his players were drafted/chosen by him and him only?

Raiders are going to draft an LT with the #5 I would guess because that roster was already barren on talent on the offensive line.
