We take a look at five contracts who may not be on the team by the start of the 2017 season. Do we keep them or let them walk?

Now that the 2016 NFL season is officially over, the Dallas Cowboys can focus on the new league year, which begins on March 9th.

While the Cowboys appear to be in a much better position than they were one year ago.

Still, there is still work to be done to improve on their 13-3 record from this past season.

The big events of the offseason such as the draft and the early stages of free agency will get the most fanfare.

But perhaps equally as important will be keeping the pending free agents the team believes need to have a future in Dallas.

The Cowboys have 20 unrestricted free agents they need to decide on this summer/

That number includes a whopping eight starters!

And as it stands right now, the Cowboys are roughly $15 million over the salary cap.

But that’s a number that will fluctuate between now and the summer.

All things being equal, here is my take on five of these Cowboy free agents.

And whether or not they should be re-signed this offseason.
