Free agency is upon us. It’s the time of the year that hopeful fans of the Dallas Cowboys are reminded of just how little the front office participates in outside free agency. It’s something we’ve grown accustomed to over the last decade as the team is openly thrifty when it comes to allocating funds for free agents outside their organization.
On the surface, that’s a good thing. Free agency is a house game where players historically underperform their contracts. It’s not a coincidence that a great majority of splash makers in free agency end up with negative results, but that is not to say there aren’t some who buck the trend.
