Cowboys have suddenly replaced nearly half of their defensive line

The Dallas Cowboys have been busy over the last week adding experienced depth to their defensive line. They’ve been so active, in fact, that nearly half of the projected roster members weren’t with the team at the start of training camp. How should we feel about this much turnover so close to Week 1?

Within about a week, Dallas traded for DT Jordan Phillips and signed two free agents in DE Carl Lawson and DT Linval Joseph. Some have personal connections to the Cowboys coaches; Joseph played several years under Mike Zimmer in Minnesota and Lawson had a year with assistant Paul Guenther in Cincinnati.
