IRVING — Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has many decisions to make this off-season, including what to do with the team’s 18 free agents.
The Cowboys have 15 unrestricted free agents and three restricted free agents this off-season. Heading the unrestricted free agent list for the Cowboys is outside linebacker Anthony Spencer, who had the best season of his career this year.
Here’s a look at the team’s 18 free agents:
Victor Butler; LB; Never really developed into an all-around linebacker and struggled against the run
Michael Coe; CB; He showed some skill but can’t there will be better options for depth at CB
Kenyon Coleman; DE; He’s solid against the run but doesn’t give the Cowboys the pass-rush they need up front
#Phil Costa; C; Injured most of the season, Costa began the year as the Cowboys’ starter
Derrick Dockery; OL; Garland native was just filling a hole and he’s about to hit the finish line of his career
Eric Frampton; S; Was starting late in the season and could provide roster depth because of his special teams ability
Mike Jenkins; CB; Added value late in season by playing more at inside cornerback but can’t see 2008 first-round pick back unless he’s a bargain (and I don’t think he will be)
Felix Jones; RB; This will likely be the end of the road for the 2008 first-round draft pick who never lived up to billing
L.P. Ladouceur; LS; He won’t be expensive to re-sign and he’s very good at what he does
#Danny McCray; S; Struggled at times in expanded defensive role but still a standout special teams contributor
Brian Moorman; P; Was a solid fill-in for injured starting punter Chris Jones, but not likely a re-sign
Kevin Ogletree; WR; Cowboys brought him back on a one-year deal and he never took advantage of his opportunity as the team’s third receiver — again
Charlie Peprah; S; Could be a nice veteran to have on the roster behind young safety Barry Church
John Phillips; TE; Started losing playing time late in season as rookie TE James Hanna emerged
Brady Poppinga; LB; ‘Everybody knows Batman,’ but more for his talk than his play
#Brian Schaefering; DL; Could provide depth up front and add some experience
Ernie Sims; LB; Team trusted him enough to be defensive play-caller late in season but not a priority to re-sign with return of Sean Lee, Bruce Carter
Anthony Spencer; LB; Cowboys used their franchise tag on him a year ago and could do the same again
