The fourth installment in an 11-part series assessing each position on the Cowboys roster (Be sure to follow the jump for analysis) ... PLAYERS SIGNED THROUGH 2008: TE Jason Witten, TE Tony Curtis, TE Anthony Fasano UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: None RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: None TOP NAMES ON FREE AGENT MARKET: Marcus Pollard (Seahawks), Jerramy Stevens (Bucs), Eric Johnson (Saints) TOP DRAFT NAMES: Martellus Bennett (Texas A&M), Martin Rucker (Missouri), Brad Cottam (Tennessee), Jermichael Finley (Texas), Fred Davis (USC), John Carlson (Notre Dame) HEALTH OF POSITION: This is probably one of the more stable positions on the team. Jason Witten is going to another Pro Bowl after a career-year with 96 catches, team lead, for 1,145 yards with seven touchdowns. The Cowboys found a way to get Witten into the offense more in 2007 than the previous year. Tony Romo’s favorite target had a few more drops than normal, but he still was an effective offensive target. Anthony Fasano battled a few nagging injuries during the season and didn’t have a major impact, still he was good at blocking and running passing routes. His critical drop in the playoff game is one of several that will haunt the Cowboys this offseason. Of Tony Curtis’ three catches, all were for touchdowns, and the coaching staff likes his upside. Picking up a tight end in free agency and the draft is doubtful. L.J. Smith of the Eagles is a free agent, but the team put the tag on him. |

Cowboy's should convert Roy Williams to a lineman.
That way he can sit at the End of the bench, Guard the water bucket and Tackle (er horsecollar) anyone who comes near it.
