   Given Beuerlein intent/potential to start in another club and the likely
   hood of the court deciding in favor of free agency, then the Cowboys
   , I think, should at least consider trading him. OK I heard you, you said I
   am crazy, but think about the Cowboys' defense - based on preseason games -
   is awful and you can not win many games in Jan. without a stingy defense
   granted that you are invited to the party. I think the pass-rush is the
   number one priority and the second is a blue chip CB or safety.
   There are a number of teams who are looking for young proven QB's.
   The Chargers top the list. I think the Cowboys are in a position where they
   can pick any player from the Chargers' roster for Beuerlein. Boy, J Seau
   can help at LB. He can play inside and outside and last year he had 129
   tackles and recorded 7 sacks and made to the probowl. More than that, he is
   young and should be an immediate starter. Another possibilty is Derrick
   Thomas of the Chiefs, but I do not think that KC will accept. I am sure
   that there are other possibilities but I can not think any more I need to
   go to bed.
