Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys were known suitors for both Earl Thomas – who signed with the Ravens – and Eric Berry – who remains a free agent. Perhaps they could still sign Berry, but there has been no indication that they are still interested.
Overall, it appears that the Cowboys have been in the market for a safety all offseason. Joseph wouldn’t provide the same skill set as a Thomas or Berry, but would allow the Cowboys to add to their depth at one of their weaker defensive positions.
Currently Xavier Woods and Jeff Heath are lined up to start.
Woods put together a strong season a sophomore, making 56 tackles with two interceptions and nine passes defended. He received an above average 68 from PFF and was lauded for his coverage skills.
On paper, Heath also had a strong seasons, amassing 85 tackles with one interception and five passes defended. However, he received just an average 56.4 from PFF. The Cowboys are clearly looking to upgrade.
Joseph would give the Cowboys a solid safety who has the ability to start and if nothing else would give the team great depth. After missing on Thomas and Berry, Joseph could be a fine consolation prize.
