Cowboys free-agent debate: Dwayne Harris

With 20 players set to be restricted or unrestricted free agents, the Dallas Cowboys will have plenty of decisions to make on who to keep and who to let go.

Let's take a look at the free agents to-be and how they could fit into the Cowboys' future:

Wide receiver Dwayne Harris

Type: Unrestricted

What he did: The statistics don't tell Harris' full value to the Cowboys. He caught just seven passes for 116 yards and had four carries for 7 yards. He has the ability to be an elite returner but his numbers were down in part because teams kicked away from him and the blocking was not as good. He averaged 24.7 yards per kick return and 9.2 yards per punt return. In 2013, he averaged 30.6 yards per kick return and 12.8 yards per punt return. He also led the Cowboys with 18 special teams tackles.

What he could do: With Dez Bryant, Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley, who is a restricted free agent, ahead of him at wide receiver, and the Cowboys liking the future of fifth-round pick Devin Street, the opportunities will remain the same for Harris should he re-sign. He can play the slot, like Beasley, but he is a better blocker. He can play outside, like Street. If there are injuries, the Cowboys would be able to breathe a little easier knowing they have Harris.

What it should cost: With only 33 catches in his first four seasons, there won't be much of a market for Harris. The Cowboys might view him as more valuable than other teams, but he would be wise to see what other teams have to offer in terms of larger roles. With Beasley a restricted free agent and Bryant likely to get the franchise tag, the Cowboys will need receivers. To get one with Harris' experience and special teams' ability would be a plus when it comes to roster spots. He is looking at a two- or three-year deal with a small signing bonus wherever he goes.
