News: Could Cowboys pursue Harrison, Griffen? Elliott’s smarts

Ezekiel Elliott was smart in contract negotiations. Why Did Gerald McCoy choose Dallas? Will the Cowboys sign Everson Griffen?

Ezekiel Elliott stood his ground last summer when he was in pursuit of a long-term deal with the Cowboys. With Todd Gurley being released by the Los Angeles Rams earlier this week although he still had years remaining on his deal makes Elliott’s decision to do so look even smarter. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy signed a three-year deal with the Cowboys earlier this week, and he has a specific reason why he put his signature on the dotted line. The Cowboys may not be done adding pieces to the interior defensive line, as reportedly they’re open to the idea of acquiring free-agent defensive tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison.

For the past few days, free-agent defensive ends Everson Griffen and Jadeveon Clowney have been linked as possible additions bolster the Cowboys pass rush. There have been some solid players added to the Cowboys roster during the early wave of free agency, however, their philosophy in the NFL Draft should remain the same. Who are the best available free agents after the first week, the possibility of adding defensive tackle Dontari Poe at a bargain, and how the Cowboys got creative in re-signing Joe Looney are covered in the News and Notes.
