3. Trey Flowers, DE, formerly Detroit Lions

Flowers is a two-time Super Bowl champion who has several years of NFL experience. With Randy Gregory no longer on the Dallas defense, the Cowboys have yet to figure out a certified starter to line up opposite DeMarcus Lawrence. They have Dante Fowler Jr., but he hasn’t had a great NFL season in a couple of years. The other options are a rookie and a young DE with minimal experience.

Adding Flowers for depth and leadership could be a smart move for Dallas. Injuries have been an issue for the DE lately, but he is still someone who can come in and provide help on snaps.

Before his injuries, he had at least 6.5 sacks and 8 tackles for loss in four straight seasons. He also had more than 20 QB hits in three. With the right fit and a clean bill of health, Flowers can certainly still provide assistance to any defense.

Again, the good news for Dallas is that his injury history is likely going to lower his price tag. The Cowboys could get him on an affordable one-year prove-it deal.
