2022 Dallas Cowboys free agency: Here are all of the moves and changes the Cowboys have made so far

The second weekend of free agency has just about come and gone and it was hardly as eventful as the first one for the Dallas Cowboys.

When last weekend was just beginning the Cowboys finally dipped their toes into the pool of external free agency by signing wide receiver James Washington and defensive end Dante Fowler. Dallas is notoriously ‘more’ active during the second and third waves of free agency, but with the hourglass tipping over for that period to finally begin they have remained on the sidelines.

The light turned green on free agency back on Wednesday, March 16th so with that being about a week and a half in the rearview mirror we thought it would be nice to take a look at just what the Cowboys have done so far.
