72. Jayron Kearse, S: Dallas Cowboys ➡️ Dallas Cowboys

The idea of releasing Amari Cooper is that the Cowboys will be able to retain some key guys from a year ago.

Jayron Kearse had a huge year for a rejuvenated Dallas defense under coordinator Dan Quinn.

Quinn is back for another season, and I’m sure he’s campaigning to bring Kearse back as well. He had a breakout season in Dallas last season with 101 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, 6 QB hits, and a pair of interceptions.

71. James Conner, RB: Arizona Cardinals ➡️ Arizona Cardinals

Even if the Arizona Cardinals and James Conner start going year-to-year, I think they are a good fit together for the time being.

Conner had 18 total touchdowns and made it to the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Cardinals where he touched the ball 239 times.

I don’t think the Cardinals can rely on Conner to increase his workload too much, but there’s no denying his per-touch efficiency in their offense.
