Death, taxes, and the Dallas Cowboys refusing to devote serious resources to the safety position. To be fair to America’s Team now, they did sign Ha Ha Clinton-Dix this offseason. That, in itself, represents a bigger step in devotion to the safety spot than we’ve seen the Cowboys make in some time, but it still may not be enough.
Things have been weird for the Cowboys and finding a safety for a little bit now, weirder than usual. A year and change ago, we thought they were going to sign Earl Thomas, then focus shifted to them drafting someone like Juan Thornhill, and the latest fad is of course trading for Jamal Adams.
