Dallas Cowboys: 7 thoughts on NFC East free agency moves so far
#2 – Landon Collins flies to Washington D.C.
Well, that didn’t take long. The safety, who played for the New York Giants since 2015, will see the Dallas Cowboys at least two times a year still. The 25-year-old was a free agent prospect for Big D.
Now, the five-year veteran is a lock for the Redskins. The safety is guaranteed $45 million. That’s a lot of dollars, even for America’s Team. Overall, I think it’s a great pick up for the Washington squad who will have to contain Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper.
#3 – Philly Eagles fly high with old big man
Carson Wentz is keeping his blind side help. Left tackle Jason Peters, who is 37, is staying put in Eagles country for another year. The tackle is an All-Pro player. Though he has been plagued by injuries over the years, can the Cowboys capitalize with David Irving and Randy Gregory out of work?
#4 – DeSean Jackson back to Philly?
Jackson might be heading out of Tampa Bay. He’s still only 32 years old and has plenty of gas in the tank. Should he come back to the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys will really need to find some backfield coverage (hint, hint).
