FRISCO, Texas – Three observations on the state of the Cowboys two weeks into free agency, six weeks from the NFL Draft and no apparent timeline on a Tony Romo decision:
The Cowboys are sticking to their free agency plan. It’s not flashy, but it’s really no different than past offseasons, intensified this year by the team’s modest salary cap space: they’ve looked for cap-friendly deals, not big-money contracts.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones foreshadowed this approach in late February at the Combine: “Not a huge fan of having to go out and pay guys a lot of money, filling in big needs through unrestricted free agency,” he said.
