Dallas Cowboys

The connections for Grady Jarrett are pretty obvious when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys’ defensive coordinator is none other than the guy who helped draft Grady Jarrett in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft—Dan Quinn.

Dan Quinn has brought numerous players over who used to be Falcons, just think about Keanu Neal, Damontae Kazee, and most recently Dante Fowler. So, could Grady Jarrett be the next one to join them? It certainly seems like a probable team that would be interested if the Falcons shop their long-time defensive tackle.

Grady struggled a bit last season, likely due to a new scheme, but he knows Dan Quinn’s scheme to a tee and would be a plug-and-play player.

The Cowboys also have Demarcus Lawrence who would give Grady a nice running mate that he has simply never had in Atlanta.

The connections to the Cowboys are obvious, and so is his fit into the scheme. Don’t be surprised if—in the event, Terry Fontenot decides to shop him—the team from Dallas is one of the main suitors for the Falcons star defensive tackle.
