The Dallas Cowboys were surprisingly active in the first few weeks of free agency this year. At least in quantity if not in quality.

As the first month of the NFL’s new year winds down, the Cowboys currently have 75 players on the active roster and already counting against the cap.

They have another 17 players piling up nearly $21 million in dead cap money.

Given the current state of the roster, it seems likely that the Cowboys are done in free agency. At least until after the NFL Draft, which begins in just under four weeks.

What’s The Plan?

There really isn’t a need to sign any more free agents right now, given the current size of the roster and the 10 picks Dallas holds in next month’s draft.

Factor in what should be a sizable crop of undrafted free agents that the Cowboys will sign almost as soon as the draft ends, and the Cowboys need to take stock before chasing any veteran free agents.

Besides, the good remaining unsigned veterans are going to be beyond Dallas’ bargain-basement shopping budget. The rest aren’t going to be much better than the inbound rookies.

So, once the draft concludes and the UDFAs are in the fold, the Cowboys can take stock of the roster and see what holes, if any, remain to be filled.

And see how much money they have left to use to fill them with.
