Free agency is a way for NFL teams to fill holes throughout its roster with veterans and players that may have not fit in other systems. This allows franchises to upgrade at certain spots and add a stop-gap at others.
Dallas has been active lately in free agency following a quiet period during the first wave. Three of the Cowboys’ most prominent needs included wide receiver (Dallas signed Randall Cobb to a one-year deal), defensive line (the Cowboys added two defensive linemen this month), and safety (America’s Team missed on their top guy, but still inked a solid defender).
