DMN Blog: Cowboys Will Be Bargain Shoppers ($2mil in cap room left)

by Tim MacMahon

Don't expect a whole bunch of flashy free agency news to come out of Valley Ranch over the next few days.

The Cowboys already made their big splash, keeping Pro Bowl LT Flozell Adams from testing the open market.

Jerry simply doesn't have the cap room to do anything flashy in a mediocre free agent market. According to my capologist (Todd Archer), the Cowboys have about $2 million to play with after the flurry of moves in the last 24 hours (Adams signing, tenders to restricted free agents, Jason Ferguson trade).
So that means the Cowboys will probably end up picking through the free agency leftovers. Cross your fingers that another Ken Hamlin will fall through the cracks.
