The Cowboys have a need at the outside cornerback position; a need they’ve been trying to permanently fill for years and a need they’re likely to address again this off-season. While the draft offers the best long-term solutions, free agency may offer something important for the short-term.
If Dallas decides to proactively address the spot with a veteran free agent, options will be out there. Such a move would insure them against an uncooperative draft and/or an underperforming rookie.
A veteran free agent could bridge the position for when homegrown talent develops and keep the Cowboys competitive at one of the game’s most important positions.
While it’s impossible to say with certainty which veterans will be underappreciated enough to fall into a price range that Dallas likes, Spotrac and Pro Football Focus have made some market predictions that could prove useful in this bargain-hunting exercise.
