Honestly, in what qe've seen of him so far, I think this is true, and he should be the starter in TD's absence.  He has an innate ability get to the passer and just looks more explosive out there.  Mayo is solid, but to me, he is just a guy...  he is kind of like the same player as Dan Connor, Adam Seward, and other late round MLBs we've usually had in the past...  he steps in and plays, and while he isn't neccessarily a liability, he isn't standing out either.  Carter has potential to be more.  I think Andre Smith does too, and the addition of Carter and Smith likely knock guys like Jacobs off the 53.

Yes, he can get to the QB . . . but seriously, that's not something we really ask our LB's to do with any sort of regularity.  That's something a 34 OLB does.  This is why everyone expected him to go to a 34 team.

We need someone who can play the edge on the run and cover a TE / RB in the pass game.

I will give you the fact that Mayo is solid, but don't tell me that he has the upside of Carter because it already would have showed. Carter is the more gifted athlete, and though I might not start him right now, because I believe it's still obvious that he's making the transition, I can easily see the argument for him to get out there sooner rather than later.

      Morgan as GM so far

      These moves probably mean they plan to give Derrick Brown less snaps every game. He's in the game 99% of the defensive plays. That's way too much for a defensive tackle/end his size. Definitely think they overpaid a couple of guys, since they'll mostly be rotational and situational. Unless it works. Then they paid the perfect price.

      Devin white hanging around as an intriguing latter free agency option. guy who always had a knack for making plays but was never consistent on a down to down basis.

      FREEAGENCY FRENZY

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      What's next for Cowboys in free agency? Executive vice president Stephen Jones said the Cowboys would be “selectively aggressive” in free agency. They have added depth pieces such as defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, guard Robert Jones and running back Javonte Williams, while keeping their own in defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, returner KaVontae Turpin and punter Bryan Anger.   They attempted to make some splashes but were beaten out for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, cornerback Brandon Stephens and pass rusher Leonard Floyd.   Cap room and cash are not an issue. They have both. And the Cowboys don’t need cap room to sign pass rusher Micah Parsons to an extension. With a long-term deal, his 2025 cap number will actually decrease, even if he becomes the highest-paid defensive player.   Cornerback, linebacker and receiver are the bigger needs, and maybe backup quarterback.   Cooper Kupp has a background with new receivers coach Junior Adams. Could he become the No. 2 to CeeDee Lamb once the Rams release him (assuming he isn’t traded)? Perhaps the Cowboys will look to the trade market to fill those holes, like they did two years ago with Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore. -- Todd Archer, Cowboys reporter
