Dallas Cowboys impending free agents and top team needs
By Erik Lambert
Gavin Escobar, TE
Year after year Jason Witten has remained a model of consistency for the Cowboys. He’ll be in the Hall of Fame one day. Unfortunately for Gavin Escobar that’s made it difficult to get on the field. The former 2nd round pick has gotten little action since being drafted in 2013. He only has 30 catches in four seasons. If he wants more, he can’t afford to wait for Witten to retire. It’s hard to envision him returning.
J.J. Wilcox, S
The self-appointed enforcer of the Dallas secondary. J.J. Wilcox may not be flashy but the man sure knows how to level a ball carrier when given a clear opportunity. His not known for making a ton of big plays but he’s steady and reliable. Of the defensive players on their list this is one the Cowboys probably don’t want to let go if they can help it. His physical presence has an impact.
Jack Crawford, DE
Finding able pass rusher has really been a chore for this team over the past couple years. Something always seems to go wrong. Jack Crawford has really tried to step up and fill that void. He’s a try-hard defensive end who provides depth and decent production as a rotational player. He’ll never be the primary pass rusher but has a role to play on the team.
