Profootball Weekly On Cowboys...

Secondary becomes primary concern for Cowboys

The team lost S Keith Davis, as expected, to the Dolphins on Tuesday. The loss weakens both the special teams and the depth in the secondary, which quickly has become an area of need. Starting CBs Terence Newman and Anthony Henry have played well, and FS Ken Hamlin was franchised, ensuring that the unit is far from dire. But beyond those three players — and with the question of SS Roy Williams, who appears to be regressing — there is little left. The team also lost CB Jacques Reeves to the Texans. As it stands now, the Cowboys are spending a lot of time looking into the draft’s solid allotment of cornerbacks and should be checking all sources for depth at safety. The team reportedly has visits planned with two top corners, Kansas’ Aqib Talib and Arizona’s Antoine Cason, and met with several more at the Senior Bowl and Combine.
