The Dallas Cowboys sure do love their compensatory draft picks. The front office has often licked their lips when discussing additional firepower on draft weekend, and even how they factor in the compensatory formula with their offseason strategy. It wouldn’t be surprising, then, to see the team make a move in the next few weeks.
According to league rules, as of this past Monday afternoon, any free-agent signings no longer count toward the calculation of next year’s compensatory picks. Before Monday, any free agents whose previous contracts had expired could negatively impact the Cowboys’ eventual haul of extra draft capital.
