Our Cowboys are having another good offseason

(March 26, 2006) -- One man's ranking of the five teams that have done the best in the free-agency market to date:
1. Cleveland: Pro Bowl center LeCharles Bentley (Saints) might have been the best player at any position in the free-agent market. Linebacker Willie McGinest (Patriots) brings a coach in pads to Romeo Crennel's 3-4 defense, which also now has a legitimate anchor in nose tackle Ted Washington (Raiders). Throw in receiver Joe Jurevicius (Seahawks) and offensive tackle Kevin Shaffer (Falcons) and the Browns might very well have made enough of a haul to see significant improvement in 2006.
2. Dallas: Only if Bill Parcells can manage Terrell Owens (Eagles) -- who actually is a great receiver when you peel away all of the off-field nonsense -- as well as he managed Keyshawn Johnson and only if Mike Vanderjagt (Colts) doesn't allow "the miss" against Pittsburgh to continue to haunt him.
