Free Agent Workouts

Three unrestricted free agents that are flying under the radar were brought in for workouts at the ranch. Brock Berlin, a quarterback, spent the last two years trying out with Jason Garret in Miami. However, he never made the team or the practice squad. I would love to see him make the team and become another Tony Romo, but probably will not happen here. Berlin was a highly touted high school recruit but he never had much success at the University of Florida and later the University of Miami. Nevertheless he is most likely going to be invited to camp to compete with Matt Barker (last year's practice squad quarterback) for the third quarterback position. Highly sought after Jamel Richardson, also worked out. Richardson is a wide receiver, who spend the last few years in the CFL. He is regarded as one of the better receivers in the CFL and he has also scheduled a workout with the Colts. The last one, Jim Molinaro was a restricted free agent offensive lineman that did not receive a tendered offer from Washington. While he has experience I highly doubt he will do much, besides maybe push Cory Proctor a little harder.

Ken Hamlin also visited today to discuss a possible contract with the Cowboys. Hamlin played free safety last year with the Seahawks. This would be an awful sign in my opinion. Hamlin was not even offered a deal to come back to Seattle and the Saints recently passed on him signing Kevin Kaesviharn instead. Hamlin is also a bigger, hard hitting safety. Roy Williams already does that. Signing Hamlin would add depth behind Williams at strong safety, but bringing him in to start at free safety would be a huge mistake. We need someone who can cover very well to make of for Roy Williams' frequent misreads in coverage. I am a full supporter of moving Henry to free safety and drafting a corner with the first round pick. If the Jerry Jones is serious about Hamlin, then that would lead me to believe that they want to take a wide receiver in the first round, which would ultimately point to TO's release. This is a horrible plan.
