In recent years, the Dallas Cowboys have played it fairly conservative in free agency. Instead of overpaying for veteran talent, the Cowboys have often opted to use free agency to fill a few voids on their roster but primarily look to the draft to actually build their team.
The front office in Dallas has often avoided the big names on the open market and chosen instead to sign vets past their prime or free agents that can be had at a reduced rate at positions of need.
