Why focus on size? Well, let\u2019s look at the moves so far:<\/p>\n

Departures
Osa Odighizuwa – 280 lbs (traded to 49ers<\/a>)
Solomon Thomas – 285 lbs (traded to Titans<\/a>)
Perrion Winfrey – 290 lbs (released<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Arrival
Otito Ogbonnia – 320 lbs (signed<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Holdovers
Quinnen Williams – 303 lbs
Kenny Clark – 314 lbs
Jay Toia – 342 lbs<\/p>\n

Notice a trend? The Cowboys kept all of their beefiest DLs and added another Paunch Burger in Ogbonnia from the Chargers. Maybe it\u2019s just a coincidence, but let\u2019s go a little deeper here.<\/p>\n

As we all know, Parker came from the Eagles. A quick glance at his last stop also helps us see what he\u2019s working towards in Dallas. The Eagles\u2019 starting defensive linemen last year were:<\/p>\n

Jordan Davis – 336 lbs
Jalen Carter – 314 lbs
Moro Ojomo – 292 lbs<\/p>\n

Again, see the trend? Even the smallest guy, Ojomo, still had 12 pounds on Odighizuwa. And while all of these weights are only what we can gather from teams\u2019 official websites, and probably aren\u2019t entirely accurate, there\u2019s still enough in these numbers to draw a conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Why focus on size?
