As the free safety, Xavier Woods serves as the last line of defense for the Dallas Cowboys defense. With the Cowboys looking to improve their defense. Bringing back Xavier Woods would give them one less thing to worry about.
Dallas could give Xavier Woods close to the same deal that they give Chidobe Awuzie. A four-year deal for $32-$34 million would most likely get the job done for the Cowboys. This deal wouldn’t take up too much cap space and lock him into a single high coverage system he knows quite well.
