The Cowboys finally added a veteran safety, but is he really an upgrade over what they’ve had in previous years?
Some of the uproar about Dallas always needing to upgrade the safety spot came from the issues many had for the starter at the time, Jeff Heath. In his three years starting, he became one of the favorite targets of the Cowboys fanbase. Whether it was getting run over by Adrian Peterson, or dominated by Calvin Johnson and Alshon Jeffery, there was a common belief that Heath was holding the Dallas defense back.
