In recent years, the Cowboys have not been major players on the free agent market. 2025 has seen a number of new players brought in, but to no surprise a splashy move has yet to take place. Not many high-profile options remain at this point of the offseason, of course, but Dallas could have more additions coming soon. 
“We’re not done yet,” executive vice president Stephen Jones told reporters on Sunday (via The Athletic’s Jon Machota). “We still got some things that are outstanding that we’re trying to get done. Missed a few guys along the way too in terms of the number just being a lot higher than we thought it would be on a couple guys. Overall we’re real pleased with what we were able to do with our roster and help the team.”

Dallas was among the teams which showed interest in wideout Cooper Kupp, who ultimately inked a three-year deal with the Seahawks. Like others, the Cowboys stood down knowing how high Kupp’s asking price was. The receiver position is one which could see an addition for Dallas given the team’s need to replace Brandin Cooks as a No. 2 option. Ex-Cowboy Amari Cooper, just like Keenan Allen and Tyler Lockett, remains unsigned at this point.
Having seen Rico Dowdle depart on the open market, Dallas has made a pair of backfield additions (Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders). Those veterans are set to see a notable role in 2025, although many still see the Cowboys as a suitor for top RB prospect Ashton Jeanty or another rookie in next month’s draft. The team’s defense has seen a number of additions already, in the form of a reunion with edge rusher Dante Fowler along with trades for cornerback Kaiir Elam and linebacker Kenneth Murray.
Given Jones’ remarks, further moves could be in store prior to the draft (although many veterans are often not added until after that event takes place). The Cowboys entered Sunday with just over $34.5MM in cap space, more than enough funds for at least one short-term addition. It will be interesting to see if a strong pursuit takes place in the near future.
Ow, wow! Just like last year, the Cowboys are all-in!!!
If you read between the lines there Hubcap, you can tell that Stephen/Cowboys were in on Cooper Kupp but not at 3 years $15M AAV. At his age and injury history, I wouldn’t have been either. I think they might have gone for $10-12M max and maybe only for 2 years. Digg’s contract with NE for 3 years $13M AAV was closer, but I agree with passing on that for the very same age and injury reasons. There’s 1 or 2 WRs that would likely be just as good or better out there, but I don’t think as it stands now the Cowboys are interested in signing any of them until after the draft. That way they’ll hold on to their two 5th round comp picks next year. Any contract now for $10M or more before the draft would end up losing one of those picks. After that, even if we draft a WR in rounds 1-3, they’re thinking (as am I) that one of those veteran WRs will be willing to lower their asking price just to have a job. That, plus many of those wily vets don’t want to participate in too many of those pre-training camp workouts and such.
kpd47…sounds like you’re a perfect GM candidate for the Boys… willing to come up just short on every free agent on the continuous path to mediocrity. I’m.surprised the Jones’ haven’t hired you already. whatever you….don’t take a real risk.
lmfao
The ship sailed while you were sitting on your collective thumb
There’s no money left for Parsons AND Free Agents that come close to moving the needle.
Good luck hoping Jeanty falls to you
Omarion Hampton is currently projected to the Broncos at #20, I could see DAL taking him #12 if they really want to go RB in round 1. There are a few really good RB in this years draft. If DAL waits until the 2nd round for a RB they could draft TreVeyon Henderson or one of my personal favorites Cam Skattebo with the #44 pick. Not getting Jeanty isn’t the worse thing that could happen to the Cowboys this season.
You seem to be a casual there, Mr Buckaroo. The salary cap space already includes $24M for Micah this year. I guarantee you any new contract for Micah will actually increase that cap space by probably $10-15M for the year because they’ll be tacking on void years.
It will actually go down about 8 million this year or so when they sign him because of void years and a large signing bonus. And as I’ve said if you are here much. Thus is go8ng to beva 5 year deal at least.
This is how they’re facing the “3 players consuming a majority of our cap”.
Dak isn’t a $60M QB but that happens when you tag twice and still “wait for the market to develop”
Rinse & Repeat with Lamb
Go for the trifecta with Parsons
Depending on how the proceed with Hendrickson, Cincy is close to doing them one better
I wonder is Jimmy Johnson sits back and smiles at this mess of an organization.
To be fair, Jimmy never won a Super Bowl without Jerry, either.
Jerry would pry have a few more if he had stayed out of Jimmy’s way.
Or without Jerry, Jimmy never would have been hired because people panned the hiring as horrible at the time. Jerry was the one who thought out of the box and created the whole organization while being treated like crap for even making changes to the Cowboys. Anyone around at the time knows this.
I agree. There’s a ton of Jimmy revisionist history in Gowboys land. He really didn’t do Jack sh*t after he left here. He was an excellent coach but he wasn’t the second coming of Vince Lombardi either.
Jimmy went 36-28 in Miami making the playoffs 3 out of 4 seasons. Not shabby.
Crappy division at the time and calling that a good record is questionable. Not even Jason Garret level. No where near MM level here and both were not good enough here. Strange how standards change depending on who people are talking about. If people commenting new half of what truthfully goes on they wouldn’t be so mouthy.
Jimmy’s Miami Win % is better than Garrett’s Dallas %. Identical playoff record even tho Jimmy did his in less than half the seasons. McCarthy had three good season and two bad ones, and the “good” teams choked in the playoffs.
NFC East is a garbage division. Last year Washington was competent for the first time in decades. NY has been trash since even before Eli left. Dallas is mediocre at best. Philly is good.
Jerry is the new Al Davis: he had his prime and he can’t accept that his time has passed. He still comically thinks there is some sort of prestige in playing for the Cowboys and thinks players should take pay cuts to willingly join a mediocre circus.
👍
Beyond that, he didn’t come up with the draft value chart he gets credit for either. That was created by one of Jerry’s oil company guys and given to Jimmy to use which everyone gives Jimmy credit for.
I never knew that. Interesting NFL trivia.
Jimmy built the Super Bowl yeams not Jerry.
Jerry’s Brother/Son is just as dumb as he is. Jimmy Johnson really missed an opportunity to roast them more often over the last 30 years. Won’t miss he’s insane phoney halftime speeches to the Cowboys.
It might be proper to call Jerry an inept GM, but dumb??
How many billions is your inept Yuengling fantasy football team worth??
Typical Philly BS
Lol who is even left
Dallas never even talked to Cooper or had any real interest. These stories and rumors rolling out of ESPN and other insiders are straight bs.
Cowboys playing 4D chess: wait til all the good free agents have signed . . . then make your move.
This is when you know that the delusional father and son are about lie to the fans. Why do you always have to talk about? If you see said player and want player then don’t advertise it just do not. They love for other teams to come in and take it away.
