Cowboys' Offseason Moves, Draft Hopes

0:00On April 1st, the Dallas Cowboys are feeling pretty upbeat about turning things around in 2026 after back-to-back rough seasons. 7. Wins and 10 losses in 2024, then 7 wins, 9 losses, and a tie last year. They need at least 3 more victories to snap that playoff drought. Owner Jerry Jones says they've gone all-in this offseason, cranking up the spending even if it means busting the budget a bit. Jerry was chatting with reporters this week at the Arizona built-more, and he left the door crack for a trade with Max Crosby. That five-time pro-buller almost switched teams earlier, but a knee issue tanked the deal with Baltimore. Jones admits Dallas was in the mix too, and if Las Vegas drops the price, it could happen, though he doesn't expect it right now. On the flip side, don't look for Jadeveon Clowny back after his team leading 8.5 sacks last season. Jones loves what he brought on limited snaps, but they can't keep everyone. Instead they're banking on recent signings, trades, and the draft to fill those edge spots.

Their top need, they've chased free agents and trades that fill through, but their eye and draft picks even. A rookie to call the defense. All eyes now shift to the draft, where Cowboys brass think they can plug these holes and finally get back to contending, watch this space as they build.
