DALLAS — Free agency and the new NFL year are upon us, and the Cowboys have done what we have come to anticipate — sounding the horns of retreat.
It’s one thing to say the club can no longer afford its punter (he was really good) or kicker (he was not). It’s another to send Amari Cooper packing to Cleveland for, in effect, a fifth-round pick. The real “victory” in Saturday’s trade is the saving of $16 million in cap space, but how much of that money will go to the injured Michael Gallup to fill Cooper’s roster spot?
Too early to say.
