Hang in there, Dallas Cowboys fans. The regular season is right around the corner.

While waiting for football to officially be back, get caught up on 10 new members of the team, including players signed in free agency and taken in the NFL draft.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to vote on which member you think will have the biggest impact on the 2016 season (or jump straight to it by clicking/tapping here).

RB Alfred Morris

Where he previously was: Washington Redskins

How he got here: Signed a two-year, $3.5 million free-agent deal

Need to know: Darren McFadden was the NFL's fourth-leading rusher last season and the Cowboys still went out and heavily altered the position this offseason. They selected Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall in NFL draft and added Alfred Morris as a free agent. There was talk of possibly unloading a RB through a trade, but with McFadden starting off the season on the NFI list, Dallas is looking pretty smart holding on to its backs.

DT Cedric Thornton

Where he previously was: Philadelphia Eagles

How he got here: Signed a four-year, $18 million free-agent deal

Need to know: With suspensions to Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence, the Cowboys could be counting on Thornton early on in the season to produce on a thin defensive line. He did, however, have a quiet preseason.

OL Joe Looney

Where he previously was: Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers

How he got here: Signed a two-year, $1.68 million free-agent deal

Need to know: The Cowboys already have one of the best, if not the best, offensive lines in the entire NFL. The addition of Looney gives the stout front line some depth, especially if the team ends up trading Ronald Leary (more on that below).

DE Benson Mayowa

Where he previously was: Oakland Raiders

How he got here: Signed a three-year, $8.55 million free-agent deal

Need to know: The Raiders could've matched Dallas' free-agent offer since Mayowa was a restricted free agent, but Oakland chose to let him walk. Like Thornton, Mayowa could be a player who benefits from the Gregory and Lawrence suspensions. He'll have the opportunity; how will he respond?

LB Justin Durant

Where he previously was: Atlanta Falcons

How he got here: Signed a one-year free-agent deal

Need to know: This is Durant's second stint with the Cowboys after playing for the team in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. He'll be tasked with filling in for Rolando McClain, who has a 10-game suspension to start this season.

RB Ezekiel Elliott

Where he previously was: Ohio State

How he got here: Taken with the fourth overall pick in the NFL Draft

Need to know: Elliott has some lofty expectations being set for his rookie season. Many media members and NFL enthusiasts are drooling at the possibilities of what he can do behind the Cowboys' offensive line. He gave fans a brief glimpse by going head-to-head with Pro Bowler Kam Chancellor multiple times when Dallas played Seattle.

LB Jaylon Smith

Where he previously was: Notre Dame

How he got here: Taken with the 34th overall pick in the NFL draft

Need to know: Will he ever play again? It all depends on how his knee heals. The Cowboys could be getting a steal at linebacker ... or be taking a massive risk with Smith's health uncertain.

QB Dak Prescott

Where he previously was: Mississippi State

How he got here: Taken with the 135th overall pick of the NFL draft

Need to know: The Cowboys finally drafted a QB! In Jerry Jones' tenure the team has taken Stephen McGee, Quincy Carter and now Prescott in the draft. And it's a good thing the Cowboys did take him. He's slated to be the starter now that Tony Romo is hurt, as well as Kellen Moore.

TE Rico Gathers

Where he previously was: Baylor Bears basketball team

How he got here: Taken with the 217th overall pick in the NFL draft

Need to know: He's coming to the Cowboys from the Baylor basketball team, but the Cowboys obviously believed he was worth a look by taking him with their final pick in this year's draft. He's currently on the team's practice squad.
