PRO: The Cowboys drafted Doug Free in the fourth round (122nd overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft with the
hopes of him developing into a key player on the offensive line. He spent the first three seasons of his career
learning from some of the best in the NFL, including 12-year veteran Flozell Adams and former first round
draft picks Marc Colombo and Leonard Davis. The 2010 season was a welcomed change for Free, and a surprise
outcome for the Cowboys, as he became the club’s starting left tackle following the release of Adams
in the offseason. After consistency and dependability at the position for the better part of 12 years, Free
stepped up to the challenge and was one of the top performers on the offense through the season, displaying
the same consistency and dependability the club has expected from its blind-side protector. After starting
seven games at right tackle in 2009 in place of an injured Colombo, Free started all 16 games at left tackle
in 2010. He again manned the left tackle position in 2011, starting all 16 games and helping the club to it’s
second-best offensive yardage output in the history of the organization (6,008 yards). Free then made the
move back to right tackle where he started all 16 games of the 2012 season, helping the club to its third-best
offensive yardage output in team history (5,994) and its best passing yardage (4,729). Free again manned the
right side in 2013 and 2014 and put together solid seasons that led to a three-year contract prior to the start
of 2015 free agency, despite starting 11 games in 2014, missing five and both playoff contests with foot
injuries.
TRANSACTION SUMMARY:
3/7/15: Signed a three-year contract through 2017.
7/29/11: Signed a four-year contract extension through 2014.
4/29/07: Drafted in the fourth round (122nd overall) by Dallas.
2014:
• Was a key part of an offense that boasted the league’s rushing leader and the second-ranked team rushing
attack, but a foot injury suffered at Seattle (10/12) kept him from three games in the middle of the season
and another foot injury sidelined him for the final two games of the regular season and both playoff contests.
• Helped open holes for DeMarco Murray to rush for 118 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in the opener
against San Francisco (9/7).
• Again blocked for Murray, who rushed for 167 yards (third in his career) and a touchdown on a career-best
29 carries in the win at Tennessee (9/14). The offense rushed for 220 yards and controlled the clock for
41:11.
• Led the way for Murray to rush for 100 yards - his third straight 100-yard game to become the third Cowboy
with 100 yards in each of the first three games of a season - and did not yield a sack in Dallas’ all-time
greatest come-back win (without overtime) at St. Louis (9/21).
• In the win over New Orleans (9/28), blocked for 190 yards and two scores on 35 runs (5.4) and allowed
Murray to rush for 149 yards and both scores on 24 carries (6.5) to become the seventh NFL rusher, third
