Probably, but if there's a free agent out there, it would seem prudent to ask a coach he played for for input. Most coaches go after players that they know about personally or have staff who know about them because it gives you a better understanding of their fit, work ethic, etc.
No doubt about that. But what I'm saying is that I doubt Edwards has enough clout to play a significant role in what could be an $8 - $10 million dollar decision so soon after his own return.
Having gone after Aldon Smith, though, there may have been absolutely no consideration by this front office about going after Griffen, especially if his asking price was high.
Which I feel is a mistake, exacerbated by the fact that Crawford still sits on their books for $8 million in salary. He couldn't carry Griffen's jock, and if the Cowboys chose Crawford over Griffen, they look like fools.
