The sun is shining and the birds are singing in the world of the Dallas Cowboys. Not because it is spring, but because the team just made the keystone move in what has become an impressively well done offseason. DeMarcus Lawrence is now back in the fold. His re-signing was always job 1 this year. Not only have they gotten it finalized, they swiftly eliminated any bad feelings ($105 million, with $65 million in guarantees, will do that). And that was just the capstone, with Robert Quinn now a potentially devastating bookend on the defensive line, some needed depth in the interior added in Christian Covington, Kerry Hyder offering some flexibility at both end and 3-tech the way Tyrone Crawford does, Randall Cobb filling most if not all of the void left by the departure of Cole Beasley, swing tackle taken care of with Cameron Fleming’s new deal, and all the intangibles in the world returning in future Hall of Fame tight end Jason Witten.
