Cowboys need a better plan for a successful season on D than "hope & prayer". There are not a lot of quality options available right before League begins Training Camp. So Cowboys need to be aggressive & take some chances on some players, especially on DEFENSE.
Justin Durant is a nice signing but he is what he is. He is a pro's pro, but he's also not durable. Some guys who are still out there still due to injuries/off field issues but are still on right side of 30 and were considered studs (or potential studs) at their positions not too long ago:
OLB Zach Brown (nvm, signed by Bills)
OG Amini Silatolu (nvm, signed by Bears)
ILB Donald Butler
CB Chris Culliver (working out for Cards)
DE Mike Neal
DE Greg Hardy (working out for Jags)
Cowboys could also take the Justin Durant route another step further (see Landry) and bring in some older players who still have proven tread on their tires:
DE Dwight Freeney
CB Antonio Cromartie
WR Anquan Bolden
WR Roddy White
FB John Kuhn
Or trade for a true impact player under 30, role the dice and pay some dang money on D while getting rid of the deadwood (Carr, Williams, Escobar, Wilcox, Church, Mo, future picks, etc.):
DT Mo Wilkerson
S Eric Berry
Or go for the homerun game winning swing, with a 95% chance of a strike out. Trade for a retired, but could be an immediate impact, player:
ILB Patrick Willis
RT Anthony Davis
WR Calvin Johnson
LT D"Brickashaw Ferguson
QB Jake Locker
DT B.J. Raji
LB O.J. Mayo
