The best move of the offseason so far for the Dallas Cowboys is retaining defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who had a big impact on last year’s draft class. Four of the eight defensive players drafted by the Cowboys played their part in a complete turnaround, none more than linebacker Micah Parsons.
Not only did Quinn help make Parsons an All-Pro as a rookie, but free agent addition Jayron Kearse played well in a hybrid role at the position. In the last year of his rookie contract, the Cowboys even saw Leighton Vander Esch play well in the final stretch of the season.
