With the possible departure of both Doug Free and Jeremy
Parnell, the Dallas Cowboys are in the market for a new Offensive Tackle. They
may fill this need via the draft or free agency. I have three players in mind
that may fill this need for the Cowboys. Each one of these players will be
cheaper than Free and should be as expensive or slightly more than Jeremy
Parnell. Again, the Cowboys don’t have much money to spare so these players
could be starters at Right Tackle or a more than capable Swing Tackle.
Marshall Newhouse 6-4
328
15 games, 5 starts
Marshall has played both Right and Left Tackle and even
Guard in his NFL career with the Packers and Bengals. Started five games last
season for the Bengals. Started 19/22 games for Packers in 2012 and 2013 at
Right Tackle. Still only 26 years old with Super Bowl experience.
Michael Oher 6-4 315
11 games, 11 starts
Everyone is familiar with the story of Michael Oher thanks
to the book and movie of the same name, The
Blind Side. Started 11 games with Tennessee this past season after starting
80 consecutive games for Baltimore from 2009-2013. Just two years removed from
winning a Super Bowl, a chance at another Super Bowl should entice Oher to look
to Dallas.
Chris Hairston 6-6
330
16 games, 0 starts
The youngest and most inexperienced of the bunch, Chris
Hairston played the past three seasons in Buffalo. Hairston started seven games
in his rookie year of 2011 and another eight games in 2012. Has the ability to
serve as a quality backup Swing Tackle in the event Dallas elects to bring Doug
Free or Jeremy Parnell back to be the starter.
