Overview
- Dallas acquired Rashan Gary from Green Bay for a 2027 fourth‑round pick and completed a restructure that pays him $16 million in 2026 and 2027 with a $13.2 million signing bonus, dropping his 2026 cap hit to about $5.44 million.
- Owner Jerry Jones said the offseason is centered on fixing the defense and voiced confidence the team is better positioned after early moves.
- The Cowboys added Jalen Thompson and P.J. Locke at safety, cornerback Cobie Durant, and defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia, and they traded Osa Odighizuwa after earlier front‑seven changes.
- Inside linebacker remains a priority after interest in Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker ended with both signing with the Raiders, with reports linking Dallas to Bobby Wagner and noting the team has backed off Patrick Queen.
- With picks No. 12 and No. 20, Dallas is evaluating top defensive prospects, including a Top 30 visit with LSU corner Mansoor Delane, as analysts say another high‑impact EDGE is still needed alongside Gary and Donovan Ezeiruaku.
