It has been over a week since free agency officially began in the NFL and to date the Dallas Cowboys have only brought in one external player. Linebacker Eric Kendricks is the newest member of the team and one that many people predicted to join given his history with new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. It was not surprising to see Kendricks wind up in Dallas, but it was surprising with regards to how it happened.
Initially there were reports that Kendricks was going to join the San Francisco 49ers. But about 12 hours after those reports there was an about face as he decided to play for the Cowboys instead.
