The Dallas Cowboys seem content to let their recent draft picks make up the meat of new players on this roster, hardly getting past the “due diligence” point of free agency with big names who’ve signed elsewhere. Stephen Jones has reminded fans at duller points of the offseason that free agency is an ongoing process, as is the year-round nature of player acquisition.
The Cowboys could back up these statements by addressing a neglected position on the roster, as their current depth chart at safety has few long-term answers. Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates would give Dallas a player to build around here, currently holding out of the AFC champion’s OTAs with no intentions of playing on the franchise tag.
