Cowboys' Offseason Moves: Securing Talent & Cap Space

0:00On March 5, the Dallas Cowboys front office has been busy this off-season, locking in key talent early. They signed a running back, Javante Williams, to a three-year deal worth $24 million, with $8 million per year and $16 million. Guaranteed through the 2028 season, they also placed the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens for $27.3 million, marking their first such move since, tagging players in prior years. To gain flexibility, the team restructured contracts for quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CD-LAM, and guard Tyler Smith, creating over $66 million in cap space. Smaller steps included signing quarterback Will Greer to a reserve futures deal as third-string depth and releasing linebacker Logan Wilson, which saves $6.5 million. Fans are buzzing about this uncharacteristic activity from owner Jerry Jones, especially after years of quieter off-seasons.

1:01These moves secure a thousand yard rusher ahead of potential bidding wars and provide cap room for bigger additions, boosting optimism for a stronger roster. The latest updates involve tenders, a second round one, on-guard TJ Bass, for $5.8 million, protecting their line starter and an exclusive rights tender for quarterback Reddy Stewart, signaling defensive coordinator interest. They chose not to tender Senator Barack Hoffman, letting him hit free agency as a versatile depth option, with kicker Brandon Aubrey eying a record extension and more cat maneuvers ahead. The Cowboys let Primes for defensive upgrades and a competitor push next season. Push next season. Push next season. Push next season.
