Cowboys Make Splash in NFL Free Agency

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 10th. The NFL Tafring period kicked off on Monday, letting teams negotiate contracts ahead of official free agency on Wednesday, March 11th at 4P. M. Eastern Time. This year, the Dallas Cowboys broke from their usual quiet start, making several key moves after owner Jerry Jones promised aggression. They traded for Ed rusher Rashan Gary from the Green Bay Packers, agreed to terms with safety, Jalen Thompson and Resign Defensive N. Sam, Williams, while also restructuring deals for tackle Taren Steele and safety Millie Cooker to free of cap space. The biggest splash was the trade for Rashan Gary, sending a fourth round pick from 2027 to Green Bay. Gary is set for $42 million over two seasons as a quality starter who fits well with new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, who knows him from past work. Some fans pushed back on the trade, saying Gary might have hit free agency anyway and could have been signed cheaper.

Thompson stands out as the top move, a versatile safety pairing nicely with Hooker on a fair three-year $33 million deal. He also links up with new coach Ryan Smith from Arizona. Williams got a one-year proof of contract for $3 million, fitting the new scheme at a bargain price amid the Eddress frenzy. Overall, these steps earn a B-plus grade for bolstering the defense without overpaying. The only gap is linebacker, where they missed out on the Kobe Dean due to his injuries, but more options remain as free agency heats up.
