but to answer your question randall gay, fernando bryant probably, drayton florence, and aaron glenn. guys who are an upgrade in talent basically. i mean if we were going to hand out some money why not go after a guy? did reeves have a couple teams hanging on him? i doubt it.

I agree that they were likely targeting Godfrey and Molden. The point I was trying to make was that if they didn't get a corner in the 1st, then the likelihood of drafting someone who could come in and play immediately is pretty slim. Thus, they needed to pick up someone in free agency.

I tend to agree that Gay and Florence may have been a better way to go (although I haven't watched either enough to say so definitively). As much as I like Aaron Glenn, I don't think he would be an upgrade. The Cowboys didn't think so or Glenn would have been starting ahead of Reeves last year.

I'm certainly not trying to defend the signing. I was just trying to point out that they had to sign some veteran CB and the market wasn't great.
