Busine s is rapidly picking up for the amid the second week of official free agency. Having spent the majority of the first week focused on their in-house talent, they've since spread their wings and flown into the backyard of other clubs with the hopes of stealing away impact talent. That led to their winning out in the race to land safety , but they're not done there, not that it was their first outside acquisition -- though it was by far their most notable. Dallas was set to visit with safeties and no later than Wednesday, , with money and medical concerns to take center stage in the coming discu sions.On Thursday, they added Kazee to the roster, .Things are beginning to take shape for Charles Woodson Jersey the Cowboys as they ramp up free agency activity ahead of the 2021 , set for April 29-May 1 in Cleveland, and to give us an opportunity to begin grading their moves. And, with that, let's dive right into it -- keeping in mind things will look much better for them if they agree to terms with both or either of the free safeties walking into their building this week. DAL QB #4 Grade: A+It's been lost in the frenzy of the first week of free agency, but let's be clear on how securing Prescott to a four-year, $160 million deal is not only the biggest signing by far in Dallas, it's the biggest in the entire NFL this offseason. It might not feel that way because the team was going to keep him in uniform this season by hook or by crook, namely by using a second franchise tag, but the fact is the two-time Pro Bowler was otherwise an unrestricted free agent. And not only would the tag have created a spike in speculation regarding the future of Prescott in Dallas beyond 2021, it also would've charged the Cowboys debit card for a hefty $37.7 million and forced them into dire straits salary-cap wise, leaving them hamstrung for the remainder of free agency -- likely forcing not only restructures acro s the board, but po sibly an uncomfortable release or two. Instead, , and the Cowboys sidestep an overall catastrophe in the proce s. TB SS #22 Grade: AAnd with the cap relief provided by Prescott's deal, the Cowboys are now beginning to pick up steam after a slow start to outside free agency -- having Lucas Patrick Jersey spent the first two waves focused on retaining key in-house talent. As the club works to revamp its defense in Dan Quinn's inaugural season, the question of if the Cowboys would finally begin placing a premium value on the safety position is being answered in spades. -- the other team in his final two -- on a one-year deal worth $5 million, and there's a reason they awarded him that deal and not former turned safety , as sources explained to CBS Sports. , fluctuating between weakside linebacker and safety as needed, which left the door open for the Cowboys to add either Damontae Kazee or Malik Hooker, with .You have to love what the Cowboys are cooking, a suming Neal and Co. can remain healthy. PIT SS #24 Grade: AWell well, what do we have here? A commitment to improving at safety? Sure looks like it, and the Cowboys can thank Dan Quinn for how this outlook turns out in the end. For be it Neal, Kazee and/or a top-flight safety in the draft that ultimately complements Donovan Wilson for the long-term, or someone else, the fact is there hasn't been elite safety play in North Texas for a long time -- Wilson's breakout 2020 season notwithstanding -- it's bound to work out better than simply throwing bargain bin players at the position and hoping for the Randy Ramsey Jersey best. Kazee is coming off of a season-ending torn Achilles, yes, hence the one-year, prove-it deal; but he could impact games this season once he's fully healthy. He reeled in seven interceptions in 2018, a year where the Cowboys grabbed nine as a team, and can flex to the nickel as depth behind a re-signed Jourdan Lewis, adding to his value much in the same way Neal's increased by being willing to take on linebackers snaps in addition to his safety duties.Of course they're both gambles for the Cowboys, but they're also proven game-changers who need only remain on the field. DAL CB #2 Grade: AThis is arguably the biggest retention in Dallas of a player not named Prescott. Lewis had an uneven season in 2020, but so did most in the abbreviated Mike Nolan regime. For the most part, however, Lewis has been one of the team's few defensive ballhawks and has shown an ability to not only be a physical nickel corner, but also one you can add to pa s rush packages without the opposing offense having a clue as to what's happening. With again battling injury last season, Lewis saw a hefty amount of playing time and his three-year deal -- -- hints strongly at him potentially remaining starter this coming season and, at worst, puts an eye or two on the fact releasing Brown would garner the Cowboys roughly $4 million in savings this summer. They could keep a capable Brown around for insurance at the position, but it's clear Lewis is in the long-term plans, and that's the smart move by Quinn and head coach Mike Bart Starr Jersey McCarthy, after seeing Lewis mostly shelved in his first couple of seasons due to size concerns that never showed themselves when he took the field. DAL CB #29 Grade: ANo, Goodwin isn't a defensive playmaker, so why the high grade? It's because I pay attention to what he does on special teams, and you should as well. Goodwin has emerged as the premier special teams ace for the Cowboys over the past two seasons, and was key in helping John "Bones" Fa sel flip the team from the worst in the league to one that was precipitously better -- in one season flat. that'll lock him in through the 2022 season, and the special teams unit will continue to improve because of it. So, no, it's not a high grade because he's supposedly a world-beater on defense. It's because he's a world-beater in the role he needs to be for the Cowboys. MIA WR #11 Grade: B+Making Prescott a happy man financially was only one part of the equation. The other was/is to keep his slew of weapons in the armoire going forward, and Wilson proved Green Bay Packers Home Office himself worthy of a new deal after the club saw him have a breakout season in 2020 -- when Prescott was under center. They'd like to order more of that, please and thank you, with a side of what he can do on special teams when he makes the right decision. Wilson entered the offseason as a restricted free agent, and . This means the former sixth-rounder will likely stay put in Dallas with a $2.133 million salary in 2021. ARI DT #92 Grade: B+Woods' absence in 2020 due to injury was felt in a big way in the team's continued struggle to stop the run, and his return rea serted his role as starting nose tackle after a dismal experiment with Dontari Poe. , the Cowboys can match any offer he rec
