The 2016 NFL Draft is complete and the Dallas Cowboys are already hard at working trying to land a few coveted undrafted free agents. NFL teams start trying to sign these UDFAs the second the draft ends, although the moves won't officially be announced for a few days.
While most UDFAs end up being little more than camp bodies, there are players that make the 53-man roster each season. The UDFAs all went undrafted for reason, but they all have the potential to make it in the NFL in some role. Sometimes, teams strike gold with an Arian Foster or Tony Romo.
These signings are all just reports at the moment, as the Cowboys haven't officially announced the moves. We have every player the Cowboys have reportedly signed below. We've also included a brief write-up about the more notable additions.
Caleb Azubike, DE, Vanderbilt
Jake Brendel, C, UCLA
Chris Brown, WR, Notre
Chris Brown, QB/WR, Cal Poly
Rodney Coe, DT, Akron
Arjen Colquhoun, CB, Michigan State
Ed Eagan, WR, Northwestern (LA) State
David Hedelin, OT, Purdue
Andy Jones, WR, Jacksonville
Deon King, LB, Norfolk State
Ryan Mack, OT, Memphis
Rolan Milligan, SS, Toledo
Jason Neill, DT, UTSA
Boston Stiverson, OG, Kansas State
Austin Traylor, TE, Wisconsin
The Cowboys have proven they know what they're doing with UDFAs. While there likely won't be a Tony Romo, or even La'el Collins, in this year's class. However, there are some solid players the Cowboys have added.
Brown, the Notre Dame WR, is a similar player to Will Fuller, although not as talented. He needs to add some weight, but could carve out a role as the team's deep threat. Fellow WR Ed Eagan is a return specialist, but would need to beat out Lucky Whitehead for a roster spot.
Traylor is purely a blocking TE. Brendel could make the roster as a reserve guard, in the event Ron Leary is traded. He played center at UCLA, but could play some guard.
Coe is a former RB that could develop under Rod Marinelli. Milligan and King were both highly productive, but are undersized. The last Toledo safety the Cowboys added after the draft (Barry Church), turned out pretty well.
