DALLAS COWBOYS ('16: 13-3)
COACH: Jason Garrett (eighth season) BIGGEST NEWCOMERS: For a second consecutive year, the Cowboys were not big players in free agency. They did sign former Dolphins and Eagles cornerback Nolan Carroll to move in as a starter, took defensive lineman Taco Charlton in the first round of the draft to improve the pass rush and CB Chidobe Awuzie in the second round. They also took a flier on Damontre Moore, a former Giants draft pick and problem child. BIGGEST LOSSES: Count ’em up: The Cowboys lost 11 players in free agency and two of their marquee players, Tony Romo and Doug Free, retired. Among the other losses are cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, safeties Barry Church and J.J. Wilcox, and offensive lineman Ronald Leary. In all, the Cowboys lost 11 players that started 546 games for them. CAMP OUTLOOK: What is going on with star RB Ezekiel Elliott? He possibly is facing a one- or two-game suspension stemming from a domestic violence incident, and his uncertain availability early in the season will affect how he is used and how he prepares this summer. This is year No. 2 for QB Dak Prescott (left), but camp No. 1 in terms of having to live up to burgeoning expectations after an outstanding rookie season. The Cowboys will have to put together a newlook defensive backfield, with several new starters in the secondary. At linebacker, all eyes will be on Jaylon Smith, who did not play at all as a rookie and has nerve damage in his surgically repaired right knee. Can he show enough in camp to earn a role? HOW THEY FARED VS. GIANTS LAST SEASON: Giants swept season series, 2-0.
