The Dallas Morning News asks if free safety Xavier Woods will win the free safety job or if the team will trade for Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas. (Dallas Morning News)

Fantasy Impact:

The Cowboys started a youth movement in the defensive backfield during the offseason, and the Thomas trade chatter will continue to be a major storyline as the team enters camp. Woods, 22, had 33 solo tackles and one pick in 2017. The second-year pro spent the entire offseason as the first-team defense starting free safety. Bringing Thomas over from Seattle in a trade would reunite the star safety with former Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richards, who is now coaching the Cowboys' defensive backs.
