1) The Cowboys weren't surprised at the offer made to Davis. They thought since they tendered him at 720k that he may get some offers. I have some more info that the Cowboys may actually match the offer. He will get 2 mil up front from the Cowboys if he stays and that is a lot of money to him. He is not a starter, but the league isn't about starters. It's about the top 53.

2) Dallas wasn't a player in FA in regards to S because the contracts were so substantial. The ones that didn't sign for a lot weren't worth having. They didn't see a player they thought was worth 3 mil a year more than Davis.

3) Coleman has some off the field issues with alcohol. He apparently is taking care of that right now. Teams interested in him will likely wait to see what happens this week.

4) The Cowboys also don't want Payton to think they can just come in and take any player he wants to.

5) Dallas can literally go into the draft and pick the BPA if they resign Davis. If not then they have to be looking at maybe a safety on day 1.
