It’s officially April, which means we’re mere weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft. The Dallas Cowboys were much more active in free agency this year than they were in 2025, but many of the needs they entered the offseason with still remain.
That’s because many of the signings owner/general manager Jerry Jones made were more in line with being depth-chart fillers than slam dunk starters. The sole signing in the starters category is likely edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., who returns to Dallas (where he played in 2023), after registering a team-high 10.5 sacks for the NFC runner-up Washington Commanders.
