Teams that are looking to get the most bang for their buck typically avoid free agency.

The nature of 32 teams bidding for a player's services on the open market artificially inflates their worth, leading to teams drastically overpaying for talent. These deals usually take place in the first couple days of free agency. However, as the days continue to pass by, those inflated prices start to drop to the point where real value can be found by the savvier teams that know where to look.

In recent years, the Cowboys have decided to do exactly that, sitting out of the high-priced bidding wars in an effort to uncover value with the lower-tier free agents. Last year was a great example, when Dallas signed Cameron Fleming, Allen Hurns, Marcus Martin (injured reserve), Kony Ealy (cut) and Antwaun Woods in the opening weeks of free agency.

Even though Ealy didn't make the roster and Martin was lost before the season even started, Hurns, Fleming and Woods all were valuable members of the team.

Hurns was a great locker room presence who always seemed to make one or two big plays per game when healthy. Fleming, although he struggled at times, became the swing tackle and did a good job of holding down the fort against New Orleans and Washington while Tyron Smith was injured. Woods became one of the more valuable members of the defense, providing above-average play on a league-minimum contract.

While the Cowboys may fix their gaze on a particular high-priced free agent (Earl Thomas) this offseason, they will still spend most of their timing looking for value among the under-the-radar free agents.

Without further ado, let's take a look at a few of those under-the-radar free agents who provide value for the Cowboys this offseason:

Corey Grant, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

Last season, the Cowboys were devoid of a scatback to complement Ezekiel Elliott's skill set in the backfield. Rod Smith has been a great backup but lacks the speed and play-making ability to scare defenses.

If the Cowboys are looking to add speed and big-play potential to their offense without breaking the bank, Corey Grant would be the perfect choice.

Grant missed most of 2018 with a Lisfranc injury -- which should keep his price down -- but has proven to be an explosive playmaker when healthy. In 2017, while splitting time with Leonard Fournette and T.J. Yeldon, Grant carried the ball 30 times for 248 yards -- an absurd 8.3 yards per carry -- and two touchdowns.

And while he didn't get many opportunities in the passing game (18 career catches), Grant has displayed the traits necessary to become a true threat out of the backfield in that respect.

At 5-foot-10, 203 pounds, Grant is usually the best athlete every time he steps on the field. Before he went undrafted in 2015, the Auburn product posted a 4.28-second 40-yard dash, 10-foot-7 broad jump and 37-inch vertical, rare athletic traits that translate to the field.

When Grant gets the ball in space, he's a big play waiting to happen, as his elite speed allows him to outrun pursuit angles. On top of that, Grant possesses the nimble feet required to string together cuts to elude defenders, making him extremely tough to bring down in the open field.

Despite his size, Grant isn't afraid to run between the tackles, displaying an impressive ability to identify creases and open running lanes as they develop. Unfortunately for Grant, he lacks the size and power to churn out dirty yards in traffic, making him a bad option for short-yardage situations.

Altogether, Grant can be a plus-version of Lance Dunbar, who was Dallas' scatback from 2012-16. He can be the perfect complement to Elliott, providing a nice change of pace when Dallas' premier back needs a breather while also giving the offensive staff an explosive chess piece whose usage is only limited by their creativity.

Adam Humphries, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

If Cole Beasley leaves for greener pastures, the Cowboys could opt to sign Adam Humphries and not be any worse for wear.

At 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, Humphries is a slightly bigger target than Beasley while still a similar athlete.

In 2018, Humphries recorded 76 catches on 105 targets for 816 receiving yards -- 10.7 yards per reception -- and five touchdowns. Humphries created an average of 3.6 yards of separation when targeted, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, tied for fifth in the NFL.

Against man coverage, Humphries understands how to tell a story with his routes, meaning he knows how to vary his releases and stems to manipulate cornerbacks, putting him in position to get open at the top of his routes. Humphries does well to accelerate coming out of his breaks, allowing him to create separation and bigger throwing windows.

Against zone coverage, Humphries is excellent at identifying coverage and finding the open spaces in-between zones.

Although Humphries doesn't run a ton of vertical routes, he's extremely refined in his ability to run outs, digs, slants and stop routes. Humphries also possesses reliable hands to make catches outside his frame or through traffic. He shows good concentration and body control to make late adjustments on less-than-accurate passes.

On top of his ability to get open, Humphries is one of the best slot receivers after the catch, finishing tied for fifth among receivers with at least 85 targets in yards after catch per reception (5.7) and ninth in total YAC among all eligible receivers (433), according to Pro Football Focus. While most receivers look to dance and elude defenders to create yards after the catch, Humphries diligently turns and bursts up the field to generate more yardage.

All in all, Humphries would be the perfect replacement for Beasley in the Cowboys' offense -- and he wouldn't break the bank.

Brent Urban, DT, Baltimore Ravens

Unless you're a Baltimore Ravens fan, you probably didn't know that Brent Urban even exists. That doesn't change the fact that Urban would be a great under-the-radar addition to the Cowboys' defense.

The Ravens had one of the league's best defenses in 2018, and Urban was a key cog on their defensive line. Urban's 2018 stat line may not be very impressive -- 27 tackles, two for loss, 0.5 sacks -- but his ability to absorb blocks and reset the line of scrimmage against the run would be extremely valuable to Dallas' interior run defense.

After spending a couple of years in Baltimore's read-and-react, two-gap system upfront, Urban may want to try his hand in a one-gap system, similar to the Cowboys', that allows interior defenders to make plays.

At 6-foot-7, 300 pounds, Urban has the size to play either the nose (1-technique defensive tackle) or under tackle (3-technique defensive tackle) in Dallas' defense. The 27-year-old is still lacking as a pass rusher, which means he'd likely only play on run downs.

Urban is extremely adept at using his length at the point of attack to control blockers while keeping his frame clean, giving him the ability to shed blocks and make tackles in his gaps.

The addition of Urban would be an ideal step for the Cowboys in their attempt to maximize the talents of Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith, as Urban's ability to take on blocks and hold his ground would make life all the more easy on Dallas' young, dynamic linebacker duo.
