FRISCO, Texas -- New Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer acknowledged he is inheriting a good unit after Dan Quinn's three-year run calling the shots.
He has Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, DeMarcus Lawrence and DaRon Bland, but the Cowboys also have key players set to become free agents and a tricky salary cap situation that will make it difficult to keep the players they want.
Of the 16 players set to become free agents, eight are on the defensive side of the ball and seven played key roles either as a starter or role player.
