Ranking Cowboys 14 Free Agents: Who Must Dallas Sign? FISH PODCAST

Ranking Cowboys 14 Free Agents: Who Must Dallas Sign? FISH PODCAST

FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2024 offseason with 14 free agents. The knee-jerk reaction? There are two of ‘em.

One is “angry”: “Dallas isn’t good enough! Who needs ‘em?”

Two is similarly reactionary: “Gotta sign our guys!”

The truth - especially accented with owner Jerry Jones claiming he's "all in'' for building a champion in 2024 - is somewhere in the middle as the Fish Podcast and the Fish Report works to prioritize the guys … 

Here’s the list. Play along!

Tyron Smith - An All-Pro who could retire.

Tony Pollard - We don’t see Dallas paying big money for a back, as we note here.

Tyler Biadasz - A good, replaceable piece.

Stephon Gilmore - Can you bring him back on the cheap? Teaming him with Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland is an appealing idea, as we write here.

Jayron Kearse - We wonder if the “position flex” thing has run its course.

Jourdan Lewis - Does Dallas want to get younger here?

Johnathan Hankins - Dallas doesn’t usually prioritize the run-stuffer. That might be about to change.

Dorance Armstrong - Somebody is about to pay him twice Dallas’ price.

Dante Fowler - Would he go where Dan Quinn goes?

Neville Gallimore - Just a JAG?

OL Chuma Edoga - A functional multi-purpose guy you wish you didn’t have to play.

Trent Sieg - Good enough to never notice. 

Noah Igbinhoghene - Made one play all year.

Rico Dowdle - Could be a starter … or could be ignored.

The truth: The list of "must-signs'' might be shorter than most of us think. And the evidence of "all in'' is not, for the most part, going to come from this list. And why not? "Re-signing our guys,'' important as it may be, doesn't make the roster better. All it does is keep it the same.
