Cowboys have 22 scheduled free agents, including 17 unrestricted
Call me crazy but they need to sign a bunch of these players simply because they need numbers. Dak is obviously the one guy they need to sign. But as I have said, he needs to be willing too. If he will not sign a reasonable deal then I would franchise him and trade him.
I would also try to sign either Awuzie or Lewis, again, assuming the money is not ridiculous. I prefer Awuzie to Lewis, but I think Chido will attract more attention and sign for a bigger contract than Lewis.
I would pay someone to take Zavier Woods from the Cowboys.
I think Aldon Smith is going to leave because I think he wants a bog payday.
Beleive it or not, I would try to sign Noah Brown, but not for an exorbitant contract. He is the best block WR the Cowboys have and that is really important to the running game. If Blake Bell leaves too, they are giving a lot up in blocking. Since Dez left, this team has had trouble running outside mostly because their receivers cannot block. This is one reason why those WR screens lose yards 9 out of 10 times they run them.
They will probably sign Ladouceur again. Who else will long snap?
Out of Lee, Thomas and March, I suppose they need to sign one simply for depth. Again it's a numbers game.
They may have to sign Looney as well, unless they can convert Connor Williams to a backup center, as some have suggested. Otherwise the only Centers they have are Biadasz and McGovern, and McGovern is really a guard, and maybe a starting guard.
I actually thought Erving did a good job when he played. The problem is injuries, just like Tyron.
Does anyone else thing 22 FAs is a screwup by the front office? The Cowboys had a lot of free agents last year too. So much churn every season seems like a bad way to run a team.
