Cowboys consider re-signing Brandon Carr and Barry Church top priorities

The Dallas Cowboys consider re-signing cornerback Brandon Carr and strong safety Barry Church their top offseason priority, according to ESPN's Todd Archer.

What It Means:

Carr started every game the last five years for Dallas and has been a steady presence in the secondary. Despite entering his age-31 season, Carr would have a strong market if he reaches free agency. Church missed most of November with a forearm injury, but had one of his better seasons when healthy. He's been a tackling machine in Dallas's scheme, averaging over 108 tackles the last four years. Church made $4.75 million in 2016 and should push for $5 million or more annually.

Dallas ranked 17th in opponent-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play this year.
