The clock is ticking, and we have almost arrived at the witching hour for free agency. At 6pm eastern, the flood gates open and teams are able to sign free agents to their new deals. The last 48 hours have seen the Dallas Cowboys emerge as potential suitors for two of the 2011 season's biggest free agents. Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and defensive end Cullen Jenkins play on the two units the Cowboys could most use the help; defensive line and secondary. As it stands now, the team is ridiculously thin at both, however most look at the safety position as the primary secondary need instead of corner.Nnamdi Asomugha is one of the league's best corners. He truly ascended when he was under the tutelage of Rob Ryan in Oakland. His signing would probably bring an end to the
Terrence Newman era in Big D, as the corner has a huge price tag with only one season remaining. Under the old CBA rules, cutting Newman would free up $5 million in cap space, but would add $3 million to 2012's dead money total (estimated). Newman has been a game competitor, but he has missed time and played injured in several games.
