Ranking the off-seasons: Nos. 16-9
9. Dallas Cowboys
There's a new regime in Dallas, as the Wade Phillips era starts in 2007. Whether this is a positive or a negative is yet to be seen. At the very least, there's new blood in the locker room. Roster-wise, the Cowboys picked up a lot of new talent in the off-season. Ken Hamlin will join Roy Williams for a pretty lethal starting safety combo, and offensive tackle Leonard Davis — a former top pick of the Arizona Cardinals — comes to Dallas with a lot to prove. Brad Johnson joins the Cowboys as a reliable backup quarterback who will help guide Tony Romo's growth as well. In the draft, Dallas scooped up the guy they wanted all along in Anthony Spencer, while picking up the Browns 2008 first round pick in the process.
Cowboys fans chanted "Jerry Jones! Jerry Jones! Jerry Jones!" after the Brady Quinn trade. The Dallas faithful has reason to be happy.
Biggest gain: Leonard Davis, OL
Biggest loss: Jason Fabini, OL
Are they in better shape than they were in January? It depends. As horribly as the season ended for Dallas, they did make the playoffs and came a bad snap and some luck short of a shot at the Bears. They play seven games in primetime next year — we'll have plenty of opportunities to determine whether they're better than the '06 version.
