Doug Free Biography

Doug Free is one of the most popular and richest American football offensive tackle who was born on January 16, 1984 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, United States. Douglas Free (born January 16, 1984) is a former offensive tackle who spent all his years of his professional career with the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Northern Illinois University and was drafted by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

In 2012, the team decided to move him back to right tackle after his play regressed, exchanging positions with Tyron Smith. He was still seen as a liability even with the change, so the team gave more playing time to Jermey Parnell in the final four games of the season.

In 2014, he was a starter in what was arguably considered the best offensive line in the league and also emerged as the unit’s leader. In October, he suffered a sprained right foot in the last minutes of the Week 6 win against the Seattle Seahawks, causing him to miss three games. He also missed the team’s last four games (including two in the playoffs) with a left ankle stress fracture, that led him to have off season surgery.

On March 7, 2015, Free re-signed with the Cowboys on a three-year, $15 million contract. He started all 16 games and although he was a solid contributor at right tackle, he led the team in penalties (nine).

On July 26, 2011, the Cowboys avoided him testing the free agent market and rewarded him with a four-year, $32 million contract, with $17 million guaranteed.

Free was selected in the fourth round (122nd overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. As a rookie, he was named a starter in his first preseason game, but suffered a knee sprain that would delayed his development and contributed to him being inactive for the first 15 games of the season, until playing at right tackle during the fourth quarter of the last game.

He was inactive during the first 13 weeks of the 2008 season. The next year, a season-ending injury to Marc Colombo pushed him into starting seven games at right tackle, performing at a high level while allowing only one sack. After the April 1, 2010 release of Flozell Adams, Free became the starting left tackle.

After having to share his playing time and giving up seven sacks, five holding penalties and seven false starts, he accepted a reduced salary in order to avoid being waived before the start of the 2013 season.
