Joe Thomas was a FA

Yeah, college free agent for GB, waived/injured, then to Dallas, back to GB, and back to Dallas.

Why would I misrepresent?

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Joe Thomas wasn’t a draft

We got him from Green Bay.

Good work X
That’s the key to managing the cap
You keep the elite, add a couple pieces to top off your roster, everyone else you draft and replace them through the draft

Upon further evaluation of the number crunching by @xwalker, there is some value added bonus in the players we acquired from other teams:
Of the Dallas 53 man Active Roster:

Players acquired by Dallas' draft and college free agents: 34 = 64%
Players acquired by other team's draft and college free agents: 19 = 36%

Players acquired by Dallas by draft only: 27 = 51%
Players acquired by other team's draft: 10 = 19%

Total players drafted by Dallas and other teams: 37 = 70%

Hey... the Cowboys are like the Patriots

Only in coaching.

 

[Kaiser]

I don't really consider Lael Collins a UDFA because his situation was so unique, but even if you discount Brandon Knight (who may be gone in a week) its completely nuts that a playoff team has 5 UDFA on the roster. Its a small thing, but its another testament to the job Will McClay is doing.

Didn't Dallas have Olawale as a rookie. I know he didnt make the team but Dallas was the first one to sign him

Yes, they did - college free agent in 2012. He got poached from the PS, and we made a trade to get him back in 2018!

Great Job by Will McClay , ... it is self evident that the problem is in the coaching department .
