<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Jason Witten “Jason Witten is not the biggest, fastest or strongest, but he knows how to play the game. He can set up defenders in coverage and get separation even though he is not a blazer. To me, there are none better. At that position, it’s very important to be a good football player, to be crafty and understand the nuances of the game. You could be the greatest athlete in the world and it will not matter. I’ll take Witten over Ben Watson or Vernon Davis every day of the week.” “What has Marcus Spears done for the Cowboys outside of getting his (butt) handed to him? And Bill Parcells had to be talked out of drafting him sooner. He wanted to take him where they got DeMarcus Ware.”</div> http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+W...udibles2305.htm <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Hamlin deal took time but handled well by Cowboys When the Raiders signed former Giants FS Gibril Wilson to a six-year, $39 million deal back in March, the Cowboys knew what they were up against when it came to keeping their own free-agent safety, Ken Hamlin. The team decided that the wise move was to franchise Hamlin first and then take care of would-be free-agent OLT Flozell Adams, along with getting key extensions for CB Terence Newman, WR Terrell Owens and RB Marion Barber. On Tuesday, Hamlin got what he was looking for — an extension that nearly mirrored Wilson’s deal (though Hamlin, it appears, accepted slightly less in guaranteed money: $15 million, including a $9 million signing bonus, to Wilson’s $16 million). The Cowboys’ next orders of business include finishing off the signings of draft picks, along with considering an extension for DE Chris Canty, the next-most logical player the team would like to lock up. Canty, who signed his restricted free-agent tender this offseason, might be on the verge of a breakout season and a big payday.</div> http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+W...tm?mode=nfceast
