New safety.

Also primarily a box safety like Cyp, but doesn't get totally abused when playing deep like Cyp does...just mostly abused haha. Definitely an upgrade, but not a real big one.

Love it. Dude lays the wood.

This is the closest I will be to a Church on a Sunday in a long time.

I only know about him by reading on cowboys boards, fans liked him but, would have preferred him staying but they are not upset of him leaving.

 

I guess he's an upgrade, not a world beater but a veteran we can count on and gives us one position less to fill in the draft (in the first round I mean).

Church is not an upgrade at all… He gets caught out of position a lot, as we will see if he starts for us next year.

 

Not a fan of this move.

Ranked 29 on NFL.com's 101 free agent list (Cyprien ranked 45).  29 years old.  6'2 218.  Reported thus far 4 year deal worth $6m per year.

 

Fills a need.     

Dallas fan: "Good run stopper and a great leader for our team. Played with a fractured arm at one point. Tough guy."

 

"Dammit. He was a great leader along with Sean Lee on the defense. By far the most consistent DB we had last year, made so many clutch plays (like the game winnings INT @WAS last season)"

Still would draft SS Josh Jones in the 3rd round. Depth. Depth. Depth. Also, Sample is never healthy.

Coughlin saw this dude twice a year in NY. I trust him on this one.

Umm, how would you describe Cyp then? 

 

Also, he's getting 6 mil a year...he's starting.

He's definitely better than Cyp

NFL assistant on Church to #Jaguars: "They want interchangeable safeties. They don't want the Kam/Cyp type anymore."

Cyp blows too...

 

Church is not going to do well playing in a system where the safeties are interchangeable - meaning they have to be able to tackle and cover.

 

I hope he can be a "Reggie Nelson" and turn into a very good safety for a different team in a different environment.

Well yes, that NFL assistant quote is an idiot.

Time for some cover 2

I don't think this means we're drafting RB at 4...

 

Also Church has been healthy for a full season twice... and topped 100 tackles only once...

 

Not sure if this is an upgrade so much as a cheap stop gap.

Safety is very much still an option at 4.

Hate to see Church leave Dallas.  He is a leader and Jags got themselves a good player.  He is definitely an upgrade at safety.

They seem upset, because now they have no safety and he was the captain of the secondary.

Team Captain...
