As teams wait for a new collective bargaining agreement and the chance to turn over the league calendar year, the rest of the world projects what could potentially be happening soon in free agency.
ESPN’s Ben Linsey recently released a list of perfect free agent fits for all 32 NFL teams, and he saw some secondary help in the Dallas Cowboys’ future.
Linsey tabbed Oakland Raiders safety Karl Joseph as a key addition the Cowboys could make this offseason. The 26-year-old defensive back was a first-round pick in the 2016 draft.
“Xavier Woods has played well at free safety for the Cowboys, but they could use someone like Joseph at the team’s other safety position,” he said.
“Joseph is a player whose best role is in the box; he has picked up PFF grades between 67.6 and 74.5 in each of his four seasons with the Raiders, but he has earned a grade of 82.2 for his career when lined up in the box.”
The Cowboys have poured blue-chip resources into their offensive line. They’ve traded a first-round pick for a receiver. They have a running back who is the highest-paid player at his position and a quarterback soon entering that territory.
DeMarcus Lawrence and Jaylon Smith have recently signed large extensions on the defensive side of the ball, but the safety position has been largely ignored when it comes to big-money deals. Perhaps that could change with Joseph.
