Throughout the offseason, people have questioned the Dallas Cowboys conservative approach in paying for talent. On Friday, with one swift stroke of a pen, the front office just landed the league’s top free agent in DeMarcus Lawrence. Of course, technically Lawrence wasn’t actually a free agent because the team put the kibosh on him hitting the market when they slapped the franchise tag on him for a second straight season. A couple months ago, we talked about how that was just a formality and that a long-term deal was coming, but that doesn’t mean these last several weeks haven’t been without some tense moments as fans wondered when that deal was going to finally get done.
