“We like our guys.”
OK, we get it, Dallas Cowboys front office. Despite already carving out some cap space and having the mechanisms to create a whole lot more, very few who cover the organization expect Dallas to do anything seismic over the next week or so. Free agency unofficially begins today at 11 a.m. Central time, but officially on Wednesday. Until then, deals can be agreed to; and the speedy nature by which they will start to roll in Monday is just more evidence of the tampering that’s been happening for weeks.
Dallas likely won’t sign any big names, because that’s just not what they do. Still, it’s nice to dream. Here’s a selection of key players who would look darn good in the blue and silver, and at positions where Dallas could certainly use a shot in the arm.
We’re using Touchdown Wire’s free-agent rankings here. We’re also not going to do things that don’t make sense for Dallas just because the player is top rated. Corners who primarily play on the right side, high-priced linebackers… those guys will be skipped over.
