Anthony Harris: Dallas Cowboys
It’s entirely possible that even with $74,268,123 in current cap space, the Cowboys won’t be able to retain all their priority free agents. In fact, when that group includes quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver Amari Cooper and cornerback Byron Jones, the likelihood of Dallas not getting outbid on two of the three (let’s be real, there’s no way they’re letting Prescott out of the building) becomes a far more present possibility.
Jerry and Stephen Jones could replace Byron Jones and Cooper through the draft, as the cornerback and receiver classes are fairly stacked. If there’s money left over, it might be time to address the need at safety. If that’s the case, how about the only player in the NFL with seven interceptions and no touchdowns allowed last season? At age 28, Harris elevated himself into one of the league’s best at his extremely critical position, and pairing him with Xavier Woods in the safety room would give new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and defensive backs coach Maurice Linguist all kinds of interesting options. Spotrac estimates Harris bagging a contract in the five-year, $70 million realm, but if Dallas fails to retain its own free agents, the team conceivably could afford that.
