Cowboys Rebound: Restructuring, Free Agency, Draft

About this episode

Despite a disappointing seven-win, nine-loss, one-tie season, the Dallas Cowboys have a chance to rebound in the new league year. Quarterback Dak Prescott shone with a ninety-nine point five passer rating, but the team needs more balance around him. By restructuring deals for Prescott and Tyler Smith, the Cowboys have freed up forty-seven million dollars in cap space. Theyre also looking to tweak star wide receiver CeeDee Lambs contract. With this extra room, Dallas must now focus on smart spending in free agency and the draft to return to playoff form in 2026.

On March 4, the Dallas Cowboys wrapped up the 2025 NFL season with a 7-win 9-loss, one-tie record, missing the playoffs for the second year in a row. Despite high hopes, the team struggled to find its footing, leaving fans in the front office with plenty of tough questions heading into the offseason. Jack Prescott stood out as the bright spot for Dallas, delivering a solid year in his 10th NFL season. He threw for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions across 17 games, earning a 99. 0.5 passer rating that put him among the league's top quarterbacks. The lackluster finish has shifted focus to roster fixes, with Prescott locked in long term as the centerpiece of the offense. Team leaders know they need more balance around him to compete again, sparking widespread talk about how to rebound. To gain flexibility, the Cowboys restructured deals for Prescott and All Pro Guard, Tyler Smith, freeing up about $47 million in cap.

Space as the new league year kicks off March 11th. They're also eyeing tweaks to Star-Wire receiver, CD Lambs' contract, to stay under the cap while keeping him central to the attack. With this extra room, Dallas now faces the key task of smart spending and free agencies, and the draft, all aimed at getting back to playoff foreman. 26.666
