3 bargain free agents Cowboys should sign before NFL Draft
By Jerry Trotta
1. Anthony Brown, CB
Not one, but two potential reunions. Who says no?
The pre- and post-draft free agency cycle doesn’t offer many intriguing names, so the Cowboys might as well dabble in players they’re familiar with, no?
As currently constructed, Dallas is one injury at cornerback away from Nashshon Wright or Kelvin Joseph logging significant snaps. Wright would be preferred to Joseph in that scenario, but either situation would spell doom for a Cowboys defense that proved in the playoffs it has championship potential.
At the end of the day, you can never have too much CB depth, and signing Brown for the veteran minimum would give Quinn five dependable corners, including Trevon Diggs, Stephon Gilmore, DaRon Bland and Jourdan Lewis.
Brown is coming off a torn Achilles and might not be cleared for training camp, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a better early-to-midseason addition than the former sixth-round gem, who performed markedly better over his time in Dallas than (some) fans gave him credit for.
