Mike: The honest truthful answer to this question is simply they haven’t. The Cowboys made a good move by signing Eric Kendricks but he merely fills the gap left by Leighton Vander Esch, and the linebacker corps is still left with a lot of unanswered questions. As for the other signings, Ezekiel Elliott and Royce Freeman are sensible moves to help with the loss of Tony Pollard. Other than that the Cowboys free agency moves haven’t really closed the gap, especially when you look at the additions the 49ers have made. The 49ers focused heavily on their defensive line in free agency so this is telling on how the team look to play this year.
