Dan Connor was awed just like anyone who gets a look at $1 billion Cowboys Stadium.

The free agent middle linebacker's visit to Dallas went well Wednesday and will continue into Thursday.

Connor met the irrepressible and - Eagles fans can vouch for this - very approachable Cowboys Jerry Jones. With all due respect, you can't help but feel impressed with a guy who wants to win as much as you do.

The two-time Delaware County Daily Times Football Player of the year out of Strath Haven High has a major decision ahead.

Big decision ahead.

Exciting as it is to be wanted, Connor wasn't a big fan of being recruited in high school. It took him very little time to lock in early on Penn State and get his career started.


NFL free agency is a little different. It's a much more bottom line process with owners, general managers, coaches, players, agents and lawyers involved.

It's the kind of life-changing decision you wouldn't wish on a 26-year-old.

It's also reality, and Connor is doing his best to deal with it. So far, so good. More Thursday.
