Wonder how Biadiz graded out against Jerry Tillery and Linval Joseph? Our OL middle is still not very solid.
Also the backup to the backup RT, Steele
steele is pretty much anchored in as the swing tackle at this point. He's not the backup to a backup.
I want to see what Ty can do. We have had one of our best offseaons in FA's with Neal, Keanzee, etc. OL and DL will be a couple of the more important areas to draft. If Ty can be THE man (he's 35) for a couple of years, that will give them some time to develop. Steele is just too slow to slide
After the Chaz Green/Byron Bell debacle of 2017, the Cowboys have done a great job addressing the swing tackle position in each of the last four offseasons. First, it was the signing of Cameron Fleming in 2018, who they re-upped in 2019. This essentially cost the Cowboys $2.4 million (2018) and $2.97 million (2019) just to give them some insurance on the edge. It's a good thing too because Fleming started three games at left tackle in each of those seasons. The team let him go in free agency as he signed a one-year deal with the
New York Giants for $3.5 million where he ended up starting all 16 games at right tackle.
The Cowboys replaced one Cameron with another as they signed Cam Erving to a one year $2.5 million deal last offseason. In a year that saw six different players fill in at tackle (five of which missed time due to injury) for the Cowboys, Erving came in handy starting in five games before succumbing to injury himself. He was rewarded with a two-year, $10 million deal with the
Carolina Panthers. Being the swing tackle in Dallas has it's advantages.
This offseason, they again went after a veteran swing tackle by signing Ty Nsekhe to a one-year, $1.75 million deal. Nsekhe has proven himself to be a very reliable tackle for many years, and while he's no spring chicken at 35, he immediately lands as the team's top reserve tackle on the roster. And considering the cost, that's a very nice signing by the front office.
