The Dallas Cowboys have lost more big-name players than they have added or retained through the first week of free agency. This includes Randy Gregory, who spoke for the first time recently about his decision to make a move to Denver.
Dallas has since secured two defensive ends, bringing in Dante Fowler and re-signing Dorance Armstrong, to go along with DeMarcus Lawrence. Lawrence was extended earlier in the week. According to his agent, he accepted a very team-friendly deal to stay with the Cowboys. Second-year end Chauncey Golston will also be in the mix, what is expected out of the 2021 third-rounder?
Fans may have to wait until the draft to find the Cowboys next new substantial roster additions, as the club’s recent history shows a strong preference of building through the draft and re-signing that homegrown talent. However, after freeing more than $20 million in cap space, the Cowboys could re-enter the conversation for some of the league’s top remaining talent.
With a new quarterback in Washington, and multiple first-round picks for Philadelphia and New York, are the other NFC East teams going to close the gap in 2022? All that and more in this weekend’s news and notes.
