A combination of words that haven’t appeared in NFL headlines since 2012—“The Dallas Cowboys” and “big spenders in free agency.” Outside of signing their players to large contracts around the new league year (Dak Prescott, DeMarcus Lawrence, Michael Gallup), the front office doesn’t like to shop in the “new releases” section of the free agent department store.
Dallas has been discount shopping like Adam Sandler in Big Daddy ever since they handed Brandon Carr a five-year, $50 million contract as one of the premier corners available ahead of the 2012 season.
