Cowboys 2021: Cut, keep, or trade defensive edition

It’s common knowledge that when a new head coach or coordinator arrives on a team that they are looking to bring in their own players from a previous team, or draft players they believe fit the scheme they are going to be using. That couldn’t be more evident when defensive coordinator Dan Quinn arrived to take over a defense that is, and until otherwise proven, in shambles. First, he brought in two players from his former team to play in the rotation, and to help teach his defense to the other players. After that, he was able to take over the Dallas Cowboys draft this season and bring in players that he feels fit what he plans on doing on defense.
