The 2020 NFL free agency period will begin Wednesday, March 18 at 4 p.m. ET.
March 18 is also the first day of the 2020 NFL calendar and the opening of the league's trading period.
NFL Draft is not until 4/23, more than a month later. So it makes sense to start looking at Free Agency and who makes sense for us to plug some holes in the starting lineup.
I do not necessarily agree with this Sporting News Ranking of the top 50 free agents of 2020. But it helps to get an idea of who is out there and learn about them.

One guy that caught my eye, because I knew nothing about him, is 27 year old CB Byron Jones. He is quietly becoming a respected, solid CB and a great tackler. A good combination at 6-0, 205-pound former safety is a bruiser and a world class athlete. He plays all DB positions including slot CB. He holds the world record for standing broad jump 12' 3".

The other reason I bring him up is the Cowboys have little cap space and they have Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper and Byron Jones as FA's. They gave a first round draft pick to get Amari and Dak is their QB. I do not see the Cowboys being able to sign all three unless one gives a hometown discount and that would be stupid. There might be an opportunity here to get a great player because of the cap.
