Dallas Cowboys' front office has been finding value this season, getting strong production relative to contract commitments. Across 13 contracts, 7 grade out as good value and 1 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Reddy Steward (B+) at $1.0M/yr — getting defensive back production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was Princeton Fant (D+) at $1.1M/yr — the tight end market may have been richer than the on-field return suggests. This front office is maximizing its cap dollars and building sustainable depth.
