Harvey Martin 11 years 114 sacks
Randy White 14 years 111 sacks
Ed Jones 15 Years 106 sacks
Jim Jeffcoat 12 years 102.5 sacks
Here's some more info about Harvey Martin: (This is why I stated that his absence from the roster was a glaring omission.)
As part of the famed Doomsday Defense, Harvey Martin led the Cowboys in sacks seven times. Martin went to the Pro Bowl four times and was co-Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl XII (shared with teammate Randy White). He still holds team records for most sacks as a rookie (8 - 1973), in a season (23 - 1977), and career (114). Former Cowboys GM Tex Schramm stated "He'll be remembered as one of the great Cowboys of the golden years ... He was a great player, one of the first great pass rushers." Martin followed up his 23-sack 1977 season with a 14 sack performance in 1978, 9 in 1979, and 12 in 1980.

23 sacks in a season?? Must be when they were not keeping this stat because 22 was the record that was just broken by M.Stahan a couple of years ago????????
