Free agency is all about market value. We have some strong opinions about the Cowboys' own free agents, but how are they viewed outside of the team?
Things are getting pretty crazy in free agency already, and we are still just in the legal tampering period. Despite the fact that the rules state that actual contracts are not supposed to be discussed before the official beginning of free agency the afternoon of March 10, there are already some surprising numbers being thrown around. The top free agent on the market by most accounts is Ndamukong Suh, and it is being reported that the Miami Dolphins are going to sign him to a $114 million dollar deal with $60 million in guaranteed (read real) money. Meanwhile, the genius of Chip Kelly continues to astound us all as word comes out that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to sign Frank Gore from the San Francisco 49ers for $5 million a year, with $7.5 million in guarantees. Meanwhile, LeSean McCoy, who must have been caught spitting (or something else) in Kelly's smoothie is getting a nice, fat new deal from the Buffalo Bills.
As they have now made standard practice, the Dallas Cowboys are holding back from the bigger names in the league and waiting to see how the market shakes out, most notably for star running back DeMarco Murray. But the team has many other of its own free agents still waiting to find out their fate. We have debated long and hard about who the Cowboys should and shouldn't try to re-sign. We have watched our own players closely, but now their value is going to be determined to a large degree by how the rest of the league views them.
