The cowboys offensive lineman signings Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau total a yearly salary of $6.55 million. Free agent center Scott Wells, pro-bowl center of the Packers signed yesterday with the Rams 4-years for $24 million, $13 million guaranteed. The cowboys paid $6 million more in bonus' and $550k more in yearly salary for two average guards than one pro-bowl caliber center. I don't know the yearly cap figures for Livings & Bernadeau, just simple math of all their contracts agreed upon in free agency.
I would rather be very strong at center, draft the top guard in Decastro and hope Kosier or the kids show something in training camp for the other guard spot. The cowboys can't fix all their holes but that doesn't mean you reach for quantity instead of quality.
The cowboys got into salary cap trouble overpaying average players in free agency (Roy Williams and Igor Olshansky) and resigning players who did not deserve top dollar extensions (Marion Barber III, Miles Austin, Marcus Spears, Anthony Spencer, Terrence Newman, Gerald Sensabaugh and Doug Free although at time of his deal thought he did deserve it). #JerryJonestheGMstillsucks
