Cowboys Target Trey Hendrickson for Pass Rush Boost

0:00On March 4th, the Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for big roster changes in the 20-26 off-season to snap their playoff drought since 20-23. One analyst predicts the target-edged Russia-Trey Hendrickson in free agency as a replacement for the traded Micah Parsons. Earlier this week, ESPN's free agency preview highlighted Hendrickson as a prime fit to rebuild Dallas' struggling pass rush. At 31 years old, he's proven to lead with back-to-back seasons of 17 and a half-sacks before an injury-plague 2025. Meanwhile, the Bengals passed on franchising him, clearing the way for unrestricted free agency when the league year starts. Fans and insiders see this as a splashy move that could transform the Cowboys' defense. That said, hurdles remain with Dallas shifting to a three-four scheme under new coordinator Christian Parker, while Hendrickson has only known, four, three, systems. Plus, after restructuring deals for Dak Prescott, CDLAM, and Tyler Smith, they sit at just

1:01$9.05 million in cap space against his projected $25.4 million per year. Still, if the Cowboys pull off more tweaks, Hendrickson could anchor their line and fuel the playoff push next season.
