Free agent safety Clayton Geathers will visit the Cowboys on Monday, a source tells ESPN.com’s Field Yates (on Twitter). Geathers isn’t a household name – like one-time Cowboys target Earl Thomas – but he could be a quality addition to the team’s secondary.
Geathers, 27 in June, started in all 12 of his games for the Colts last season. Over the course of four seasons with Indianpolis, Geathers appeared in 41 games (24 starts) and spent time at both safety spots. Last year, Geathers held down the strong safety position and recorded 89 tackles plus a forced fumble. Last year, Geathers graded out as the No. 51 safety in the NFL out of 93 qualified players, positioning him as a starting-caliber safety, albeit a lower-tier one.
Last year’s safety market was depressed, but high-priced deals for Thomas, Tyrann Mathieu, and others indicate that second-tier options such as Geathers could find decent short-term deals. At minimum, guys like Geathers shouldn’t have to wait around until the fall like Eric Reid, Kenny Vaccaro, and others did in 2018.
BS.. typical.. bring in some more special teamers/below average starters because they are scared to spend money. Their core isn’t a super bowl worthy but they refuse to bring in any talent because they want to pay Dak, Amari, D-Law, zeke,etc.. the cowboys “window” to win is this coming season. After that it’s a bloated contract for Dak and his buddies keeping us from being able to bring in the finishing pieces
Relax one player ain’t gonna put them over the hump good coaching and playing does
I have a feeling they’re gonna trade D law
Me to
I’d rather keep Heath. At least he plays his hardest although he lacks the talent to be a top tier safety .
