Cowboys want to bring Gramatica back but at the right price

USATODAY Inside Slant

McBriar was simply the best punter in the league. His ability to flip the field with his booming kicks proved to be a weapon for the Cowboys, earning him a Pro Bowl bid. A restricted free agent, he will likely get a long-term contract extension. Gramatica saved the Cowboys after they flopped with Mike Vanderjagt, who was sent packing at midseason along with his $2.5 million signing bonus. The Cowboys want to bring Gramatica back but at the right price. Newman was solid and even ran one back for a touchdown. Austin likely replaced Tyson Thompson as the primary kickoff returner with the 93-yard touchdown in the wild-card playoff game.
