Mike Adams was perhaps the only bright spot for the Denver Broncos defensively in Super Bowl XLVII, registering six tackles in the game. The veteran safety, who had one interception, 63 tackles and seven passes defensed this past season, would give the Cowboys some much needed help at a position where they were weak in 2013.
Pat Angerer has been a very good player for the Indianapolis Colts when healthy throughout his career. Unfortunately, staying on the field has been a big problem for him the past two years, as he has missed 10 games in the past two seasons combined. If he can stay healthy and the team was to sign him, the Cowboys would be getting a linebacker that is very good in defending both the run and the pass. The best part is that due to his injury concerns, he could come at a reasonable price for the team.
Kyle Love is a very good run stuffing defensive tackle who last played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013. Best known for his days backing up Vince Wilfork for the New England Patriots, Love would provide valuable depth at DT behind Jason Hatcher in big D, assuming the team re-signs him, of course.
Sam Shields is a fast cornerback with good ball skills who has spent his entire career to this point with the Green Bay Packers. While the Cowboys are far from awful at the cornerback position, Morris Claiborne has not exactly lit the world on fire since being drafted in the first round in 2012, and Orlando Scandrick has been inconsistent throughout his career. Signing Shields would, at the very least, bring some added depth to the position for the Cowboys. It is more likely, however, that if he was signed, he would compete for the team's No. 2 cornerback job.
Jason Worilds, an under-the-radar linebacker who has served as a backup thus far in his career, is looking to make an impact for a team this year as a starter. The Cowboys' defense was a train wreck this past season and signing Worilds would instantly help their pass rush as he had eight sacks, 63 tackles, two forced fumbles, and one pass defensed as a rotational player in 2013 for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
