It’s a time-honored tradition. A player who might be on the move in the NFL has his name connected to the Dallas Cowboys. It’s a sure-fire way to get some notice for a media report. It can be easily dismissed, but sometimes there is some real “truth” to the connection. Either from behind-the-scenes sources confirming the interest, or just because it makes sense for the Cowboys to add such a player, the story shouldn’t be dismissed totally.
The Cowboys have gone a long way toward revamping the interior of the defensive line. They spent multiple draft picks and added bodies in free agency.
