After a major trade last week with the Dallas Cowboys, let\u2019s not forget that the free agent market is still wide open. It has been pretty quiet as of late, but I looked into it yesterday and found three players the Cowboys could use before training starts in late July.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys have already traded for George Pickens, and signed Dante Fowler along with others.<\/p>\n
Outside those guys that probably look the best as of now, there are a few names that are still available that the Dallas Cowboys should strongly consider. That would make them a better football team tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Last month, just before the NFL Draft, cornerback Stephon Gilmore set the rumor mill flying at high speed with an unscheduled visit to The Star.<\/p>\n
The 13-year veteran played for the Cowboys in 2023. He played a vital role in the team\u2019s 12-5 record and the NFC East division title.<\/p>\n
\nSo \u2026 announce the Gilmore reunion and call it a day?<\/p>\n
\u2026 and then try your best as a front office to internalize that it should be like this every spring?<\/p>\n

He also played a big part in setting an NFL record that year.<\/p>\n
Gilmore was really good for the Cowboys the season he was with them, and based on the health of Trevon Diggs, if they can get a solid few months of play from Gilmore, it would be a good add to a place that needs some extra depth.<\/p>\n

Why not take a quick chance on Jadeveon Clowney and, if it works out, a place of weakness now becomes a strength?<\/p>\n
Clowney was released a little over a week ago, and has now become one of the best pass rushers available on the open market.<\/p>\n
He had 44 pressures and 11 quarterback hits to go with his 5.5 sacks last season, finishing up with a 13.7% pressure rate. The former No. 1 overall pick can still get to the quarterback at age 32.<\/p>\n

This to me seems like something the Dallas Cowboys should jump on and get him in there with OSA, Micah and Dante Fowler.<\/p>\n
Justin Simmons<\/h2>\n
This is the one that the Cowboys won\u2019t do, but if they did I would be happier than the rest.<\/p>\n
I am not sure why Simmons is still a free agent. He had decent numbers a year ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to come to Philadelphia. He wants to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
