While I think the Cowboys are looking to sign Gerald Sensabaugh to some long term I am a little worried about him taking visits to the other teams,
read here.
No visits have been set up but Gerald Sensabaugh has received interest from three or four teams, according to his agent, Kevin Conner.
The Cowboys put the second-round tender on the restricted free agent safety, which would pay him $2.8 million in 2010. If the Cowboys chose not to match an offer, they would receive a second-round pick as compensation.
On the eve of free agency, Conner said Sensabaugh's wish was to sign a long-term deal with the Cowboys.
The Cowboys can match any offers out there, but I hate when a team puts itself into that situation because then you are backed up into a deal where you really didn't set the parameters up to begin with.
I also heard some rumors yesterday that the Cowboys were looking into going after the Colts RFA Safety Antoine Bethea. This would cost the Cowboys their 1st round pick in the draft.
If the Cowboys choose to let Sensabaugh go they get a 2nd rounder back. But then they would lose their 1st if they do after Bethea and the Colts don't match it. These guys are both versatile Safeties who can play either spot which is what every defense needs these days.
The other options out there besides the draft as far as Safety goes is OJ Otagwe who is a RFA from the Rams. He's coming off of shoulder surgery and the Rams gave him the lowball offer. The Cowboys would not lose any picks should they sign him and the Rams don't match the deal. Now there are also reports that the Rams are looking to sign him long term anyway so they would match anything the Cowboys send his way.
The Cowboys at both Safety spots are looking at some very interesting scenarios these days.
