The Dallas Cowboys are always linked to high-profile free agents, so it was no surprise that head coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked about star CB Jaire Alexander.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Any time there is a high-profile\u00a0NFL\u00a0free agent or a star player mentioned in trade rumors, the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0pop into the headlines. It’s an easy way to get more eyeballs on a story by involving Dallas. After all, they are America’s Team.<\/p>\n

So, from the moment that star cornerback\u00a0Jaire Alexander\u00a0was released by the\u00a0Green Bay Packers, the\u00a0Cowboys were named as a potential fit.<\/p>\n

Naturally, when minicamp opened up on Tuesday, June 10, head coach\u00a0Brian Schottenheimer was asked about the possibility of adding Alexander to the roster.<\/p>\n

While Schottenheimer skirted around the question, he didn’t completely rule it out.<\/p>\n

“We monitor everything,” Schottenheimer said, via Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com. “I’m not gonna get into specifics of what our conversations will be like, but we’re always looking.”<\/p>\n

So you’re saying there’s a chance?<\/p>\n

With the way the Cowboys have approached the offseason, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them do their due dilegence. The team was active in free agency and on the trade market to imrpove its roster, so adding a big name post-June 1 cut is in the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n

Keep your eyes peeled. Alexander was a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Since joining the league, he has recorded 287 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, 12 interceptions, and one touchdown.<\/p>\n
