How do you think the Cowboys will use the money from Free’s restructured deal?

The Cowboys will continue to look for a free agent who can help the team but he has to be a bargain. At this point, the free agent market is really thin and not much left ... You'll probably see the Cowboys add a player (or two) who comes at a vet minimum and adds depth but not a starter-type. Also, the Cowboys would love to get LB Sean Lee signed to a contract extension sooner than later. And they still have to sign their other draft picks. They'll leave some salary cap space for the regular season so that they can add a player down the road if needed.


I think Dwight Freeney or John Abraham would be a great addition for leadership and 3 defensive end rotation... Thoughts?

You won't see the Cowboys make a major move at this point. They're pretty much set.


Everyone has different ideas about the importance of "team chemistry." What are your thoughts and where do the Cowboys stack up with all these new faces as players and coaches?

I believe the Cowboys have a very good locker room as far as team chemistry goes and have a lot of quality players in there in terms of character. You can argue the leadership issue, but some of these younger players are starting to emerge in that area. I believe team chemistry is very important and makes good teams great.
