FRISCO, Texas – The flirtations between the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks have been going on for the better part of three months.
They started at the NFL scouting combine, where the Seahawks approached the Cowboys about a deal for All-Pro safety Earl Thomas and asked for their first-round pick. They continued leading up to the draft as well as into the second and third rounds.
The Cowboys had the 50th overall pick in the second round and saw a chance to get Texas offensive lineman Connor Williams, who could be their starting left guard.
