IRVING Bill Parcells spent some time getting to know Peerless Price on Friday, discussing what role the receiver would have if he decides to join the Dallas Cowboys.
Then Parcells went back to doing something he controls, setting the rest of the Dallas roster.
The Cowboys must cut 16 players by Saturday, 17 if they end up signing Price. Because of the "moving parts" associated with backups who also have special teams duties, Parcells would like to have a decision on Price before finalizing the roster. Yet he knows it's not that simple.
"I think he's a possibility," Parcells said. "We had a good discussion. ... I told him a little bit about our receiving structure and what I thought he could add to it, some of the things that he brings that we could use."
Price previously visited Miami and New England. After leaving the Cowboys, he headed to San Antonio to meet with Saints officials. His agent, Tim McGee, said they're hoping to have a decision before the 5 p.m. Saturday roster deadline.
