As we all know the Dallas Cowboys did not go all in like Jerry Jones said after the loss in the playoffs last year. Instead, he brought back Ezekiel Elliott and signed Eric Kendricks.
Yet, in June, the Cowboys dipped back into the UFL signing Willie Harvey jr, and Gareon Conley.
Harvey was an All-UFL first-team linebacker for the St. Louis Battlehawks. He attended college at Iowa State and signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2019 as an undrafted free agent.
Conley on the other hand, is from Ohio State and was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the first round of 2017. He started 26 of 31 games in the NFL from 2017-2019 for the Raiders and then the Texans after being traded for a third-round pick.
We have seen both KaVontae Turpin and Brandon Aubrey be homerun signings for the Cowboys. Both of those guys they signed from the USFL after they had awesome seasons there.
Aubrey was a 1st team All-Pro in his rookie year, making his first 36 NFL field goals, and setting the single season record for touchbacks with 99.
Turpin, as you know, is one of the best returners in the league and hopefully will be used more in the offense in 2024 under Mike McCarthy. He needs to be on the field.
So that got me thinking; well with it being the slowest part of the offseason right now, who will bring more value to the Cowboys in 2024?
Willie Harvey
Let’s start with Harvey, who an All-Pro with the UFL this season. In a linebacker room that is a bit watered down, even with the veteran leadership of Kendricks, Harvey should have a chance to get some work in early.
