Spoke too soon. Last week, I penned a piece calling for a change to the Cowboys free agency process. Turns out, they were doing their homework all along and maybe yours truly was just a little impatient.
For several years, the Cowboys’ SVP Stephen Jones has stated that he doesn’t like paying players above their production capabilities which is essentially what free agency is. You are always having to pay players for what they have done instead of what they’re going to do for you. An exercise in patience through the first week has led the Cowboys to all kinds of free agency flirtation in the second wave.
