As free agency begins, we take a look at some big name players the Cowboys should go after.
The Free Agent Big Board is finally complete. Over a month ago, we decided to take a look at the top 20 free agents at each position and evaluate them. They were given a score based on talent, need, and age. Then, these players were placed into groups depending on the projected size of the contract they would demand.
They are as follows:
- Splash Signings = average annual salary = $7 million or more
- Upscale Purchases = average annual salary = $5 to $7 million
- Value Guys = average annual salary = $3 to $5 million
- Bargain Buys = average annual salary = $2 to $3 million
- Clearance Rack = average annual salary = $2 million or less
With the help of my BTB peers, we then ranked ten players in each group (score of 10 being the highest) as we selected the free agents we wanted the Cowboys to go after.
