The Dallas Cowboys had an incredible free agency class of 2020; well at least the ones they lost. The ones they brought in? That’s an entirely different story. Dallas’ biggest three signings didn’t make it to the bye week before being let go by the organization. That, combined with a lackluster effort by the guys who were there before is probably the biggest reason Mike Nolan didn’t make it past the first week of January. Still, the Cowboys will reap the rewards of last year’s free agency in the form of several compensatory picks come April.
Will the free agents on the club be able to command a similar haul if they leave? Dallas has 24 free agents on their roster, but they are not as well regarded as last year’s crop. One player is, and that’s because he was a part of the 2020 class as well, just franchise tagged. Quarterback Dak Prescott is one of 3 members of this year’s class to make ESPN’s Top 50. They also had a fourth in the next group of 25.
