The top 5 free agent signings in Dallas Cowboys history

[big dog cowboy]

Agree? Disagree? Who got left out? Who shouldn't have been included?

I have a completely different list. Deion is not on it, paying him those huge sums was a big factor in tearing apart the super bowl contender that had been built.

1. LaRoi Glover. Just a beast. Too bad Jerry couldn't surround him w/ much of anything.
2. Nate Newton. What a dominator. He and Erik Williams had formed the best 2nd level blocking tandem of all time before the wreck. Instrumental in all 3 super bowl wins.
3. James Washington. What a playmaker. Absolutely instrumental in super bowl wins.
4. BIGG. Completely dominated at OG.
5. Everson Walls. Do UDFA's count? Can't believe no one's mentioned him.
6. Keith Brooking. Completely changed our D w/ his leadership and tough play. Need another like him.

I guess i’m a young fan. I started following nfl in 2006. I can only speak for your pick #6. Which I agree with you. Brooking brought a lot of leadership and passion to the defense. I really really like him.

None of these matter because Brandon Carr has messed us up from getting any of these guys!!!!

We haven’t had a great free agent signing in ~2 decades lolololol

Neon Deon

Leonard Davis was a strong signing that was a good player for the Cowboys and made 3 pro bowls.
I don't know who you take off but he deserves a mention.

It's a shame to leave off Hershall Walker. His brief stay and trade (and later, return) helped with the assembly of a SB dynasty.

Hankins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was a draft pick.

 

[Established1971]

2 and 3 were technically free agents but so were Drew Pearson, Tony Romo and Cliff Harris

That's right!!!! Pearson automatically jumps to the top of the list, top 3 easy. And Cliff Harris is only the best S we've ever had(All due respect to Woodson!!!)

 

[ChuckA1]

He was a draft pick.

I always thought he was considered a FA due to him signing with the NJ Generals first. I guess I am/was wrong.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

List seems about right. When I think of free agent signings I think of Deion Sanders lol.

Cowboys took him like in the 12th round or something, even though he was in the USFL. We also draft Carl Lewis and a couple other shots.

I really like your pick of James Washington; he could have legitimately been considered the MVP of Super Bowl 28.

Hankins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess again

Yeah, you might want to look up the definition of "facetious"!!!!

Insert Cliff Harris and Drew Pearson where you think. I might even put them 1/2.

Romo, yes.
