Jonathan Cooper, Guard
Released by the San Francisco 49ers, the vested veteran is now a free agent and can join the team of his choosing. As the Cowboys starting left guard last season, Cooper would be a clear choice for Dallas to sign due to his has previous experience playing on this line and considering their depth issues.
Donnel Pumphrey, Running Back
The Cowboys were interested in Donnel Pumphrey during the 2017 NFL Draft, but the Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the fourth round before Dallas could. The Cowboys selected wide receiver, Ryan Switzer, instead.
Viewed as a running back with special returner/playmaker qualities, Pumphrey could become the change of pace back in Dallas to spell Ezekiel Elliott and Rod Smith, the only two running backs remaining on the roster, while also being a difference-maker on special teams.
T.J. Johnson, Center
The Cowboys are in desperate need for offensive line depth, especially considering the fact they will be without the services of All-Pro center Travis Frederick for an unknown amount of time due to his recent diagnosis of having Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
T.J. Johnson has spent the past five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals prior to his release on Saturday. Former Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander is now in Dallas. Reuniting with Johnson could provide experienced depth at the center position as the 28-year old has 45 NFL games under his belt, starting five contests in the last two seasons.
Landry Jones, Quarterback
The Cowboys quarterback situation in the preseason has been terrible, with backups Cooper Rush and rookie Mike White struggling against minimal talent. The idea has been floated a time or two that Dallas needs a more experienced hand backing up Dak Prescott under center.
That makes Dallas a perfect landing spot for quarterback Landry Jones. The former fourth-rounder is entering his sixth NFL season. During that time, he’s been the primary backup for Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Ben Rothlisberger.
Jones even has some starting experience, having started in five games the past three seasons. The 29-year passer could provide the Cowboys with a more experienced voice on the sidelines for Prescott while also adding better depth at the position.
Breshad Perriman, Wide Receiver
Not many first-round selections get waived before their rookie contracts are up. But that’s how bad Breshad Perriman played in Baltimore.
But Perriman is exactly the type of underperforming high-draft pick the Cowboys love to take a chance on.
At some point, the Ravens believed Perriman had enough talent to justify selecting him 26th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Possessing NFL bloodlines (father is Brett Perriman), the 6-foot-2, 215-pound receiver posted 33 receptions for 499 yards and three touchdowns for Baltimore in 2016.
Yet, Perriman was certainly released for a reason. He has struggled with drops, catching just 10 of 34 targets last year. But the former first rounder is also only 24-years old. And a new environment could spark a career-revival.
Xavier Su’a-Filo, Offensive Guard
A former second-round pick, Xavier Su’a-Filo has a ton of NFL experience, starting in 41 games since 2014. That includes starting in 31 of the Houston Texans 32 games the past two seasons.
