3 free agent signings from NFC East rivals that left Cowboys fans laughing

So far, this has been an ideal offseason for Dallas Cowboys fans. They were able to see their team finally admit the Ezekiel Elliott contract was a problem as he was released to help them retain Tony Pollard. They then added two talented veterans in exchange for late-round picks, bringing in Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore.

To top it off, they didn’t do a lot in terms of outside free agency but were able to retain key players such as Donovan Wilson, Leighton Vander Esch, Johnathan Hankins, and Dante Fowler.

That alone is enough to celebrate — but why stop there when we can also laugh about a few moves made throughout the NFC East?

3 free agent signings from NFC East rivals that left Cowboys fans laughing

3. Andrew Wylie, OT, Washington

Let’s be honest — there’s always something to laugh at when it comes to the Washington Commanders. Whether it’s picking the worst possible team nickname, putting the wrong state silhouette on a coffee mug, or the wrong Super Bowl year on the team crest, this organization just can’t get anything right.

Perhaps that will change when Dan Snyder is finally gone but at least we have gotten to enjoy one more offseason with him in charge.

To be fair, they haven’t made too many blundering moves but they still seem to struggle to figure out their needs. Take the Andrew Wylie signing as an example. Wylie started at right tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs and they won a Super Bowl, which is nice. But he wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire.

Instead, he was the weak link on that line and struggled in run blocking. He was also ranked as the 59th tackle overall by PFF coming in behind both Charles Leno and Sam Cosmi (tied for 31st). Leno actually played well enough to push Cosmi inside to guard last season.

Now, he will likely head to the bench for a player who hasn’t been as good since Wylie will be making $8 million per season.
