Outside of a splashy 2005, when Bill Parcells splurged on Marco Rivera, Jason Ferguson, and Anthony Henry on Day 1 of free agency, Dallas has been accustomed to sitting on the sidelines as the market heats up. And that's not by accident. The fact that the Cowboys are coming off a division title and their first playoff win in 13 years, and have a roster loaded for bear, has only strengthened that resolve. "Everyone thinks Dallas is always going,'' Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said. "But that's really not true, if you look at our history. Other than when we had guys in when Bill was here, with Ferguson and Rivera and those guys, if you really look at it, the way we've operated in free agency, it hasn't been, 'We're going to be the first rattle out of the bag.' I personally think that's when you overpay, because there's so much competition for a guy. We'd rather wait and sit back, and that's where we stand today.''
