Dallas Cowboys

Last on the list, but certainly not least, are the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas is very much in the mix of contenders in the NFC. They have a strong running game, a great offensive line, and a great defense.

Their defensive ends this season will be DeMarcus Lawrence and Robert Quinn, which is a fine duo. Their one weakness on defensive is on the interior. The Cowboys are still hoping for Maliek Collins to break out, and Antwaun Woods is projected to start next to him. That front will still allow teams to double Lawrence whenever possible, but adding someone like Daniels could prevent teams from the double team.

Daniels would definitely start on this defense on the interior, and would provide pass rush help and enough run support to free up the excellent linebacking core that the Cowboys have. The ability to unleash Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch would be huge with a better front.

The Cowboys, like the other teams on this list, have enough cap room to bring Daniels in to start. A one year deal with Dallas could push their defense into top five territory and be huge for them in a potential playoff run.
