"The Cowboys enter these negotiations looking for a bargain, which we see all the time with lowball opening offers for their own free agents. But that's not going to work in free agency, where the winner is always the one who overspends the most."
"In the second and third week of free agency, prices for players tend to come down, as the auction premium from the free agency frenzy of the first 48 hours rapidly declines."
"One possibility, though admittedly a long shot, is that they are keeping an eye out for potential compensatory draft picks in 2027."
"In principle, compensatory draft picks are awarded to teams losing more or better compensatory free agents than they acquire."

Understanding how compensatory picks work is crucial, as they are awarded based on the net loss of free agents.
