The most exciting thing for NFL fans this time of year is the prospect of camp battles. But there is a sort of general rule about that. When a team is coming off a good season, as the Dallas Cowboys are, there are usually more positions with strong incumbents. And when the team also has what appears to be a good draft, which the Cowboys also seem to have, that locks up some more positions since the team is not going to part ways with a player they spent valuable draft capital on. Add in free agents who have a high dead money cost, and suddenly there just aren’t all that many open jobs for the down-roster hopefuls to contend for.
