Future Cowboys? The top 20 potential NFL free agents and whether they'd fit in Dallas
http://sportsday.***BANNED-URL***/d...ential-nfl-free-agents-whether-fit-dallas?f=r
...Cornerbacks
Josh Norman, Age: 28, Team: Carolina Panthers, 2015 cap hit: $1,591,750
Norman established himself as one of if not the best corner in the game this season. If the Cowboys let Morris Claiborne go in free agency and release Brandon Carr, they could have the need and the means to make a splashy signing at cornerback in free agency. No one would be splashier than Norman, but it's unlikely Carolina ever lets him hit the market.
Prince Amukamara, Age: 26, Team: New York Giants, 2015 cap hit: $6,898,000
Amukamara would be a nice consolation prize for the Cowboys should Norman stay in Carolina. He has seven interceptions in his career and is one year removed from a three interception season. His 10 pass deflections this season are more than any other Cowboys player accumulated.
Janoris Jenkins, Age: 27, Team: St. Louis Rams, 2015 cap hit: $1,587,829
Jenkins has steadily improved since coming into the league four years ago and might be even more of a playmaker than Amukamara. Jenkins had three interceptions and 15 pass deflections this year.
Safeties
Eric Weddle, Age: 31, Team: San Diego Chargers, 2015 cap hit: $10,100,000
The three-time Pro Bolwer would be an upgrade for the Cowboys secondary, but Dallas has three safeties still under contract. Byron Jones will likely stay there next season while Barry Church and J.J. Wilcox both have a year remaining on their contracts. Still, if Weddle wants to come to Dallas, the Cowboys wouldn't have to take on much dead money should they decide to release Church or Wilcox.
Eric Berry, Age: 27, Team: Kansas City Chiefs, 2015 cap hit: $8,357,700
Berry came back this season after beating cancer and turned in a Pro Bowl-caliber year. If the Cowboys were to pair him and Byron Jones together they'd have one of the most versatile safety tandems in the league.
