Death, taxes, and players wanting to play for the Dallas Cowboys.
Every year there are players that grew up rooting for America’s Team that want to play for the organization when they have the chance. It happens when you’re a brand as large as the Cowboys. This effect doesn’t show up as much in free agency for whatever reason, but it often trickles out when players are entering the NFL Draft. It’s almost as if mentioning the Cowboys is a way to shine attention on themselves.
Three years ago both Myles Garrett and Deshaun Watson (to a lesser degree) made pleas for the Cowboys to find a way to put them on their team.
