Is Patrick Peterson the Dallas Cowboys answer at safety?

The Dallas Cowboys have a need at safety. It can be argued that the Cowboys have had that need since the days of Darren Woodson and Roy Williams.

The simple fact is the Cowboys can’t pay superstars to fill every position. The salary cap prevents that. That means some positions are less invested in than others, with safety being one of them in Dallas for several years now.

Yet, with new coaches come new ideas and philosophies. We certainly saw evidence of that in last year’s draft when the team elected to draft Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb with their first-round selection.
