Interesting fact about Parnell: When he came into the league he was a Defensive End. Dallas converted him to an OLineman.

Wonder if we are legit on Parnell, would we still make a run for Iupati/Wiz?

People are saying his upside is great. I said earlier in the thread that when Parnell filled in for Free, the Cowboys didn't miss a beat offensively.

I'm excited.

I agree 100%. Jags are doing things the right way. Get a big name or two then get solid guys who fill needs. Exciting stuff indeed.

So if the rumors are true, right now we are looking at:


Julius Thomas

Demarco Murray

Odrick

Jeremy Parnell


And still looking at other guys like Rahim Moore, Parker, Orakpo, Worilds, etc.


I love it

Of your closing group, I would like Moore (though he is supposedly headed to Minnesota) and Orakpo (though injury is a concern).

Im down with this. We need to get a good competition going for the center position by signing a FA IMO. It doesnt have to be Wisniewski, but someone who can push Bowanko and play well if needed because of injury. 

 

Honestly I think free agency has been great for us so far if we sign Thomas, Murray, Odrick, and Parnell. I just dont want to see a rookie go in if Bowanko gets hurt, and Im not of the opinion that Bowanko cant be upgraded at this point either.

Former Cowboys OT Jermey Parnell to Jax for five years at roughly $6.5 per year, per source. Big man got paid. He is a backup no more.

Agreed.

What?  Who the hell is Jeremy Parnell?  This guy started 5 games last year and had really good players all around him.  I really hope we haven't given up on signing an elite RT like Bulaga.

I don't think so. I would not be surprised if they drafted a guard in the mid-rounds to groom behind Beadles though.

Actually after just sorting by RT salaries he is top 5 (pre Bulaga/Barksdale deals) at the position so we definitely ponied up to get him.

Odrick could very well replace Red Bryant in a year or two in addition to rotating with Marks. He also could push Alualu off the roster.

Maybe you should do some research. PFF is a good starting point.
