The Dallas Cowboys are always linked to high-profile free agents, so it was no surprise that head coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked about star CB Jaire Alexander.

Any time there is a high-profile NFL free agent or a star player mentioned in trade rumors, the Dallas Cowboys pop into the headlines. It’s an easy way to get more eyeballs on a story by involving Dallas. After all, they are America’s Team.

So, from the moment that star cornerback Jaire Alexander was released by the Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys were named as a potential fit.

Naturally, when minicamp opened up on Tuesday, June 10, head coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked about the possibility of adding Alexander to the roster.

While Schottenheimer skirted around the question, he didn’t completely rule it out.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

With the way the Cowboys have approached the offseason, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them do their due dilegence. The team was active in free agency and on the trade market to imrpove its roster, so adding a big name post-June 1 cut is in the realm of possibility.

Keep your eyes peeled. Alexander was a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Since joining the league, he has recorded 287 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, 12 interceptions, and one touchdown.
