The Dallas Cowboys were poised to have one of their more active free agency periods in recent years. They had a some flexibility with player contracts that could’ve freed up some salary cap space to upgrade a position or two. Instead they went conservative and filled some holes with inexpensive, low-risk, high-reward players.
The Cowboys brought back some solid but less than exciting players with the re-signings of fullback Jamize Olawale, offensive tackle Cameron Fleming, linebacker Justin March-Lillard, and wide receiver Tavon Austin. They also signed tight end Codey McElroy and defensive tackle Christian Covington.
