Which positions do you think offer the best value in the free agent market, especially in the last few years? It seems to me that interior O-Linemen, tight ends, and run-stuffing defensive tackles are a virtual dime a dozen come next week. Starters can be secured for one- or two-year deals with little guaranteed money. How do you see FA value from year to year? - CHRIS BARKEMA / STORY CITY, IA
Rob: Running back bargains usually can be found, too. Remember, in 2016 the Cowboys signed Alfred Morris to a modest two-year deal two weeks into free agency. The Cowboys must address the backup spots again this year, but the draft is also a possibility in the middle to late rounds.
Bryan: You’re exactly right. This is where the pro department earns its money. There are quality players to be had on one-year deals, much like the Rams did with Suh last season. Next week’s market is how the good teams become better. I see the Cowboys in the middle of this.
Looks like Dallas actually is trying to get stronger contract pictures with their own good players...and action will start to involve Dallas starting week two, when a lot of what Dallas needs, comes to within realistic contract range.
The team still has about four strong picks in the draft to use wisely.
Myself, I'm a believer in player evaluations by the team.
