Dallas Cowboys free agency tracker: Signings, rumors, departures...
With the legal tampering period now upon us and with that there are all manner of movements across the league. Yet, who’s going where and for what? Let’s take a look.
Will the Dallas Cowboys be making moves?
The NFL’s new league year will begin on Wednesday, 15th March at 4:00 p.m. ET, meaning all of the deals that have been negotiated during the legal tampering period will finally become official. Of course, there are always last-minute changes, but generally speaking you can count on what’s reported. Though not normally a team to get involved, the Cowboys may be in the market this year.
To speak further to that point, just one season ago the Cowboys were the last team in the NFL to sign an external veteran free agent, which clearly indicates the level of emphasis they play on making moves at this time of year. Of course, on any given day that approach could change, but for the moment it appears ‘America’s team’ will be staying the course. At any rate, we’ve compiled a list of the current factors that are in play in Dallas. From rumors to departures, here’s the breakdown.
