‘Perfect’ free agency sends Prescott to 49ers, suggests new CB, center for Cowboys

With free agency set to begin at the start of the new league year on March 17, it’s time for armchair GMs everywhere to lay out their master plans for who should go where.
At NFL.com, Nick Shook explored NFC rosters, looking to find a good home for several notable players. For the Cowboys, he’s eyeing secondary help in the form of Bashaud Breeland, most recently of the Chiefs.
Dallas is currently slated to watch both of its starting corners walk in free agency, and while Anthony Brown and Trevon Diggs could end up being their starting duo in 2021, adding a veteran like Breeland makes sense, too. Breeland has bounced around the league, yet manages to provide solid play at the position and seems like the type of veteran the Cowboys typically pursue in situations like this, NFL.com’s Nick Shook.
Over at ESPN, the Worldwide Leader tapped Pro Football Focus to reassign the available free agents to their “best fit” team based solely on positional need.
What they came up with for the Cowboys is a bit of head-scratcher at first glance: former Packers center Corey Linsley.
But if the Cowboys going center shopping seems curious, do not read on to see who PFF likes as a “perfect match” for San Francisco.
This may be blurring the lines a little, but [Dak] Prescott is technically a free agent and the 49ers are definitely looking for a quarterback. He would be a massive upgrade at the position from Jimmy Garoppolo…Prescott’s 85.2 grade before injury was still good enough for eighth among all quarterbacks this past season, one year after finishing 11th in 2019, Pro Football Focus.
This isn’t happening. No matter how the front office and Prescott’s reps let the next few weeks and months play out, there is no way No. 4 is just walking out the door of The Star to find a new home as a free agent
