Harrison

Thank you to the Indianapolis Colts - the Cowboys now have the right to cut T.O. Bring in Marvin Harrison to compliment Roy Williams, and you've got a great combo for Dallas QB Tony Romo. Harrison, while not the stud he was a few years ago, can still get open over the middle. Remember, this is a guy who caught 60 balls last year coming off a major surgery in 2007. You could see he wasn't up his same old breakaway self, but what Romo needs is a reliable 2nd option as a check down or over the middle receiver. Tight end Jason Witten cannot be the only player willing to go over the middle for Romo's outlet. Harrison can fill that void better than any of the Cowboys current receivers, and certainly better than anything Jerry Jones and CO. could get in the 2009 draft. With Williams the homerun hitter and Harrison the reliable possession receiver, the Cowboys might regain some of their offensive firepower that failed them down the stretch. And at little cost to the future of the team (in essence, Harrison will become a free agent as early as tomorrow, and thus those with money are in the running), the Cowboys could shoulder the various risks involved in signing a 36 year old wide receiver. Certainly, Harrison would allow Jones to feel more comfortable in dumping T.O.

Grow a sack Jerry. Get this done.
