It’s not just the draft and free agency as tools to improve a roster, the Cowboys can go the trade rotue.
The Dallas Cowboys' run defense was among the worst in the league last season, giving up five yards per carry to opposing rushers. Poor defensive tackle play was one of the main culprits. Neville Gallimore had typical rookie struggles, but Tyrone Crawford and Eli Ankou were bad with little hope they will improve next season.
Veteran help at the position will be crucial this offseason, and the 33-year-old Atkins is a prime candidate to be traded.
