Dallas Cowboys

Projected Cap Space: $3,311,937

Biggest Need: Cornerback

Cornerback Morris Claiborne is hitting free agency this offseason, and the Cowboys simply don’t have enough cap space to sign him to any worthy extension.

Unless there are some drastic roster cuts and changes between now and free agency, Dallas is going to be hindered by their offseason moves to address needs on the defensive side of the ball.

And the Cowboys certainly need help here.

Dallas will likely have to go the bargain-basement route until some space is freed up. That might mean a less-than-idea signing of a corner like Coty Sensabaugh from Dallas’ chief NFC East division rival, the New York Giants.
