With Mike McCarthy rapidly piecing together his coaching staff, the ninth head coach in history will soon need to pivot to personnel
Patrick Beverley Jersey decisions that involve the guys on the field. Contract talks are set to re-engage on , and -- marking a triumvirate of priority dealings that will shape the future of the club in one way or the other., as free agency approaches and then the 2020 , and the safety position is one the team has whiffed on improving in recent seasons. The incumbent starter at strong safety, , is no longer under contract and will become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his seven-year career since being signed as an undrafted free agent in 2013 -- having then signed a four-year, $7.6 million contract extension in 2016. The 28-year-old battled a slew of injuries on the back end of the 2019 season, and that included one to both of his shoulders, but he took the field for 13 games including the final three; and that was despite being in excruciating pain after taking down opposing ball carriers.With the season now wrapped, Heath succe
Rodney McGruder Jersey sfully underwent surgery on his left shoulder, per Todd Archer of ESPN -- sources confirming the report to CBS Sports -- and he was able to avoid
Louis Williams Jersey having a procedure done on both.In speaking with Heath after the regular season finale, I asked if he'd be healthy in time for the offseason program, and his answer was a confident affirmative. He was noncommittal to it being in Dallas though, as the team undergoes a regime change and he readies for his first-ever shot at fielding calls from other clubs. "I'm just going to let my agent work, and talk to my family," Heath told me on the evening of Dec. 29. "Then I will make a decision that's best for me and my family.", and McCarthy's declaration that "special teams will be a priority," Heath will get a strong look at po sibly receiving an offer to remain to the Cowboys. At worst, he's a beacon on the otherwise underachieving unit, along with fellow safety , who saw his season end prematurely due to a torn pectoral muscle. There's a list of changes Fa sel will make in what could be a sweeping overhaul in that phase of the game, but convincing Heath and Frazier to stick around for 2020 would be
Chris Paul Jersey a wise move.At worst, both are dominant on special teams with the ability to provide strong support in the safety rotation. For Heath, a player who has flaws also boasts a resume of game-defining plays, a willingne s to do the dirty work and an intestinal fortitude not seen in many,
Kawhi Leonard Jersey hard-nosed coaches like McCarthy and Fa sel would do well to have him on the new-look Cowboys -- price-point allowing. It's not a signing that would preclude them from upgrading at the position, and would keep two voids from opening simultaneously. Heath has only known one head coach in his time with the Cowboys, namely the now-ousted Jason Garrett, and we'll soon know if he'll be around to get familiar with a second.
