Dallas Cowboys

1. Chris Harris Jr.
2. Eric Ebron
3. Gerald McCoy

With all the focus being on their efforts to re-sign both Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper, the Cowboys may have to operate primarily in the second wave of free agency, even with nearly $74m in cap space.

The seemingly inevitable departure of Byron Jones is a massive blow to a secondary. However, Harris, who will be 31 when the 2020 season starts, can help negate the impact of Jones’ exit.

While his veteran presence would be valuable to the Cowboys, Jason Witten was of limited worth to Dallas in 2019.

The Cowboys sorely need an upgrade at tight end and, with little excitement around the draft class at the position, they may be better served inking Ebron to a deal despite his often-unpredictable hands.

Though his time in Carolina did not work out as planned, McCoy still demonstrated pass-rush upside from the defensive interior with a five-sack season on a bad team. He is a prudent option for a team requiring depth on the defensive front.

Prescott may command a lucrative deal, but the Cowboys can still improve the team around him provided they are smart about how they attack free agency.
