Latest Cowboys' injury news makes dull free agency approach even more baffling
The Dallas Cowboys' dull start to free agency isn't anything fans aren't used to. Despite it being the most valuable franchise in sports, they're not really that much into spending cash on free agent signings. This is obviously frustrating for Cowboys Nation, specially this time of the year when many other teams (including division rivals) seem to be getting better with additions of their own.  One of the most frustrating free agent decisions thus far for the Cowboys has been letting Johnathan…
