Dallas Cowboys Add CB Help Amid Joey Porter Jr. Uncertainty For 49ers Game – Sports Illustrated, Josh Sanchez
Lacking healthy bodies in the secondary, the Cowboys have added some help just in case Joey Porter Jr. is unavailable versus San Francisco.

5 free agents Cowboys should re-sign, and 5 notable names they should let walk – Levi Dombro, The Landy Hat
With the Cowboys facing some big decisions this offseason, here’s a guess at who should stay
and who should go.
5 notable players in contract years that Dallas should let walk in March
1. DeMarvion Overshown
Overshown simply cannot stay healthy, to the point that it would be crazy for Dallas to sign him to any kind of lucrative deal. On a cheap contract, the Cowboys could justify it, but there would need to be very low guarantees and high incentives. As talented as Overshown is, he hasn’t been available.

‘We Like Our Football Team’: Stephen Jones Explains Why Cowboys Stood Pat At NFL Trade Deadline – Grant Asfeth, Dallas Sports Journal
Cowboys COO clarifies why the Cowboys didn’t make any upgrades at the trade deadline.
A later deadline, falling after Sunday’s game against San Francisco, would not have changed the approach, Jones said. “I think if we seen the right situation for us that we felt like would have improved our team, made sense for today and the future, then we certainly would have looked at it this last week,” Jones said. “We wouldn’t have been opposed to it, but at the same time, we never saw anything that made any sense.” One of the hosts cited reports that no team called Dallas about trading wide receiver George Pickens, who is playing on the franchise tag. Jones said that did not surprise him.
Cowboys vs 49ers: 2 players to buy, 2 to sell against San Francisco – Jorge Guajardo, Blogging the Boys
Players who could help and hurt the Cowboys on gameday.
Buy: CeeDee Lamb
I mean, who else would this list start with? Lamb has been the best player for the Cowboys all season, and there’s no reason to think that Dallas will stop feeding him the ball. Lamb is coming off a monster performance against Indianapolis, hauling in 10 catches for 195 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets. It was his second-highest receiving total in a game during his career.
