The Cowboys were fortunate enough to have Dan Quinn back, and they are looking make a leap in year two.
The Cowboys also kept safety Jayron Kearse, the team’s leading tackler; defensive end Dorance Armstrong, who had one fewer sack (5.0) than Gregory last season; linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, who played his best football at the end of last season; defensive tackle Carlos Watkins, who started 14 games; and safety Malik Hooker, a favorite of owner and general manager Jerry Jones.
“I feel like we can build on the foundation we made last year,” Lawrence said.
