For the past few seasons, free agency has rolled around for the Dallas Cowboys and they have done exactly what we thought they would do. Rather than spend money early in free agency or be aggressive in the trade market, the Cowboys prefer to let the market settle and pick their spots in terms of who they want to add.
The only way this strategy can be sustainable is if they draft well and they extend the players they draft to second contracts. But in the event where the Cowboys bring in players through free agency, they also have to be smart with the contracts they give out.
