THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DALLAS DEFENSE WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE DURING 2014. SHORING UP THE DEFENSE SEEMS TO BE A PRIORITY FOR 2015 AND THE COWBOYS START BY RE-SIGNING EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS LINEBACKER CAM LAWRENCE AND FREE AGENT TACKLE DAVON COLEMAN ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2015. EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS ARE MOSTLY UNDRAFTED AND CAN ONLY SIGN WITH THE ORIGINAL TEAM AFTER SAID TEAM EXTENDS THE MINIMUM QUALIFYING OFFER. COWBOYS ALSO EXPECT TO RETAIN THE OTHER EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS: GUARD RONALD LEARY AND OFFENSIVE TACKLE DARRION WEEMS.
