Cowboys Lose Key Offensive Line Piece

0:00On March 21st, the Dallas Cowboys wrapped up a tough 2025 season with a 7-win 9-loss 1-tie record missing the playoffs for. The second year running, despite a strong offense led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who earned his fourth pro-ball selection with 4,552 passing, yards and 30 touchdowns. The defense let them down, big time. Prescott had solid protection from guys like center Brock Hoffman, who stepped up in over 50 games, including starts when injuries hit. Hoffman, an undrafted free agent out of college, bounced from the Browns practice squad to Dallas back in 2022. Now heading into 2026, the Cowboys take a hit as Hoffman signs a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers to reunite with his old head, Coach Mike McCarthy. His steady play and attitude make him a good fit there, leaving Dallas short on offensive line depth. Fans and analysts see this as another setback for Prescott, who loses a reliable back-up just when the team needs to rebuild.

1:01The offense clicked with receivers like CD-LAM and George Pickens, but protecting the pocket gets trickier now. Dallas plans to scour a free agency and use their 12th and 20th picks in the 2026 draft to shore things up, aiming to bounce back. Stronger next season.
