Cowboys news: The Cowboys roster begins to take shape

Position flex is good, and the Cowboys have it. How to use it is the question.

With the plethora of linebackers now – Jaylon, Leighton, Parsons, free agent Neal and Jabril Cox – what do you think about the idea of transitioning Cox to safety? – ROY BANNER / AMARILLO, TX

David: Just as a general philosophy, I’m not a big fan of fixing problems that don’t exist. We saw only last year how much injuries can affect a season, so depth is good. On top of that, we don’t know what the long-term future holds for Leighton Vander Esch, Jaylon Smith or Keanu Neal, so changing Cox’s position when you might need him next year seems like an overreaction.
