Dallas Cowboys: 5 free agent visits scheduled this week
According to a report by ESPN.com, the Dallas Cowboys have at least five free agent visits scheduled for this week. We’ll break them down.
The Dallas Cowboys have been as active as a snail when it comes to free agency, which officially kicked off last week. Outside of re-signing some of their own players, and sporadic rumors of interest here and there, the Cowboys have yet to sign a single player from another team a whopping six days after the market opened.
At this point, many of the top free agents have been signed away. And a flurry of trades of been completed. None of which have involved the Cowboys, much to the chagrin of their fans base.
But it now appears as if Dallas is finally ready to get up off the bench and go about the business of improving their roster. According to ESPN.com’s Todd Archer, the Cowboys have at least five free agent visits set up this week. Let’s breakdown each player.
Cameron Fleming, OL
Fleming is a former fourth round selection out of Stanford in 2014. The 25-year old is a native Texan and stands 6-foot-6 , 320 pounds. He’s spent the last four seasons as a versatile reserve for the New England Patroits. Fleming can play at either guard or tackle, and has started in 20 of his 47 games for the Pats.
Justin Hunter, WR
A former second round pick out of Tennessee in 2014, there were high expectations for Hunter after he was drafted by the Tennessee Titans. But the 6-foot-4, 203 pound receiver disappointed in his first three seasons, never recording more than 28 receptions in a single year as a pro. The 26-year old has bounced around the league a bit since then, but played for the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, posting four catches in seven games.
Marcus Martin, C
Only 24-years old, Martin spent his first three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. A former third round selection out of USC, Martin started 24 of his 26 games for the Niners before being bench for poor play and eventually waived last March. The Cleveland Browns picked him up off waivers but never played him last season. A former center, Martin would presumably be a consideration at guard for Dallas as well.
Dontrelle Inman, WR
The 6-foot-3, 205 pound Inman was a rising star with the now Los Angeles Chargers before a trade shipped him to the Chicago Bears for a conditional seventh round pick last October. Undrafted out of Virginia, the 29-year old receiver posted 58 receptions for 810 yards and four touchdowns while starting in all 16 games for the Chargers in 2016.

LaAdrian Waddle, OT
The 6-foot-6, 315 pound Waddle is another former New England Patriot reserve who is a native Texan, born in College Station and having played for Texas A&M. Undrafted in 2013, Waddle played his first three seasons in the NFL with the Detroit Lions, having started 24 of his 30 games in the Motor City. The 26-year old offensive tackle has played more sparingly for the Patriots, having appeared in only 15 games total, starting in just four contests for New England in the last three years.
