USAT: Cowboys Wire

Feb 25, 2022

The NFL offseason is upon us and the Dallas Cowboys are preparing for a long journey towards getting under the salary cap while simultaneously building their roster. It will be a juggling act for the franchise that has gotten used to walking that line. As has been well noted, the Cowboys have a high number of free agents, 21, to decide on and are over the projected cap for the league year. For a team that needs to get better, it’s difficult to see an easy path for Dallas to improve. - The Cowboys have become notoriously cheap in free agency with Stephen Jones managing the cap and that isn’t going to change. Jones has already put the word out that the Cowboys aren’t going to be players in the open market, rendering any dreams of signing a high-priced difference maker useless. - The organization will also have trouble re-signing all their own unrestricted free agents, so fans should be prepared to see any combination of these top players in a different uniform come September: defensive end Randy Gregory, tight end Dalton Schultz, wide receiver Michael Gallup, guard Connor Williams, and safety Jayron Kearse. - Dallas might be able to re-sign some of them, but they simply will not be bringing back all their best options. And if they do bring back some of their top options, of which reportedly Gallup is a priority, how are they going to keep all of their current top paid players since they’re over the cap? - - Dallas to 'prioritize' re-signing Michael Gallup?
