Obviously, the Cowboys will have to hit the free-agent market to get some kind help at safety this year. We all know this. It’s a must.
The Cowboys just can’t count on anyone in this draft to come in and contribute right away. That’s not to say it can’t or won’t happen. But anything they get through the draft, will have to be a bonus pick.
That being said, we’ve all seen the list by now of potential safety free-agents. We know the names like Weddle, Landry, Manning, Huff, Elam, Goldson and Pool. But right there in the middle of all of them is Gerald Sensabaugh.
And actually, re-signing him, and getting him locked up early should be a top priority.
What he gives you, more than experience, is flexibility. He has the ability to play either free or strong safety. That means getting him re-signed, opens up the entire group of safety free-agents.
If Huff is the guy, then Sensabaugh can resume his duties at strong safety. If the Cowboys decide to go with a guy like Danieal Manning or maybe Abram Elam, then Sensabaugh should be able to move to free safety.
Although many teams are using more of the interchangeable safeties in today’s wide-open game, it’s still somewhat rare to find a player who can double in either spot. That’s one thing Sensabaugh has. Whether he uses that as leverage in the free-agent process . . . only time will tell.
But it seems to be a good enough reason for the Cowboys to try and get him back.
