00:00So NFL free agency is all but over for the Dallas Cowboys and today we're getting into

00:05seven players that have benefited directly from their decisions so far.

00:13Hey what's up everyone it's Mauricio Rodriguez here at ADZ Sports Dallas.

00:16I am on the road but that won't stop us from talking some Cowboys free agency today.

00:21Specifically we're getting into some winners from every decision the Cowboys have made

00:26so far. Earlier in the week I did a video on three potential losers and players whose path

00:32to the roster has gotten a little bit more complicated. Today we're doing the opposite.

00:36We're doing the positive side of things but since we're getting into seven players we'll

00:40keep things brief so let's dive in. First up on the list is none other than quarterback Will Greer.

00:47The reason why he's on the list is very simple. Cooper Rush is gone to the Baltimore Ravens.

00:52Trey Lance is very unlikely to come back so the Cowboys are likely going to pick somebody

00:57in the NFL draft. The thing is they have to do it before Will Greer is demoted. In other words

01:03Greer is Dak Prescott's backup until proven otherwise. Number two on the list give me

01:09Kaitlin Carson. Second year rookie cornerback that started in week one as De'Aaron Bland's

01:14replacement and he might start again next year. The reason why is simple. Trevon Dix is hurt and

01:21the Cowboys lost Jordan Lewis in free agency. In other words there is one more spot that's wide

01:26open for players like Carson to take over and I think Carson is going to be a favorite just because

01:32he did decent as a rookie and was always looked at as a developmental player. The thing about

01:38Carson is he can play inside and outside and it just feels like there's going to be a spot for

01:42the taking for him. Seatbelt is the nickname for Kaitlin and it's time for him to buckle up. Number

01:47three and four on the list these go hand in hand. I'm taking offensive tackles Tyler Guyton and

01:53Terrence Steele. It didn't really seem like the Cowboys were in the market to upgrade at offensive

01:58tackle but there were some solid options in the market if they really wanted to be aggressive.

02:04Spearheaded by Ronnie Stanley you also had Dan Moore and other players that could have been

02:09looked at as improvements from what the Cowboys have but the Cowboys passed on all of them. They

02:14did sign offensive line but that was Rob Jones. He's likely going to be a backed up on the inside

02:20so Tyler Guyton and Terrence Steele not threatened so far by the Cowboys decisions. Next up on the

02:26list is Jalen Tolbert. Jalen hasn't really been the fan's favorite so far and there are legit

02:33question marks to whether or not he is deserving of being a number three wide receiver in the league

02:39and being completely honest with you it feels like wide receiver two is completely out of the

02:44question for him. Now for that to happen though the Cowboys need somebody because the Cowboys don't

02:50have a starter in their lineup beyond CeeDee Lamb just yet at least not a clear-cut one. So if the

02:57Cowboys had to play a game today Tolbert would likely be at least number three in that lineup

03:03if not number two. So since the Cowboys did not sign a starting caliber wide receiver or haven't

03:09done so yet at least Amari Cooper is still out there. Stephon Diggs is still out there then Jalen

03:15Tolbert is on the winner's list because it feels like there is a spot waiting for him but this

03:20might be just temporary because I still believe the Cowboys got to upgrade at a wide receiver and as

03:25an additional note the Cowboys did sign veteran Paris Campbell but he might be closer to being a

03:32roster bubble guy than he is someone with a legit crack at a starting lineup spot. Next up on the

03:38list is none other than Oza Odigisua. Now keep in mind he's not on the list because of his 80

03:44million dollar deal this video is about players benefiting from other decisions across the roster

03:50but they got him a backup a legitimate backup in Solomon Thomas a three technique that was once

03:56the number three overall pick in the NFL. Listen Solomon Thomas is not going to be a game changer

04:01for the Cowboys defense but he will allow Oza's legs to stay fresh that's been an issue for

04:07Odigisua over the last few years and it's mostly been a roster issue for the Cowboys. Oza is not

04:12particularly the biggest defensive tackle in the league so if he can stay fresh he's only going to

04:18be more dangerous for the Cowboys. I think he's a big winner after the Cowboys brought in Solomon

04:24Thomas and finally linebacker the Marvian Overshone. The reason why Overshone is on the list is it's

04:32true the Cowboys brought in some competition at linebacker in Jack Sanborn and then they also

04:37added Kenneth Murray via a trade but I ultimately see this as an opportunity for Overshone to take

04:44his time. We know he's fighting back from injury and honestly the Cowboys out of necessity might

04:50have been tempted to rush him back onto the field in September because they don't have or they didn't

04:56have enough linebacker depth but adding Sanborn and adding Murray and potentially another linebacker

05:02even if it's in day three of the NFL draft that will give Overshone some additional opportunity

05:08to come back take his time and come back when he really should instead of the Cowboys rushing him

05:14back onto the field. We saw the Cowboys try to do that with Bland last year did not work out for

05:19them he re-injured his foot hopefully none of that happens with Overshone and it feels to me that

05:25adding some depth at the position will only help his case. So those are seven winners from the

05:30Cowboys free agency so far let me know in the comments if you think I missed someone and I'll

05:35see you next time.
