Cowboys Headlines: Big three in Dallas dominant, Another free agency wave coming?
Now that the Cowboys organized team activities have settled, there may be more roster changes in order. A former Cowboys scout believes Dallas has seen enough in certain spots and will go back to the free agent market to fill more holes. One of the reasons the team has been so active acquiring outside players is because of injury concerns. One position in particular must survive before this playmaking defender returns.
On paper, the big three in Dallas is tough to contend with and should be a reason for their success, in 2025 and the foreseeable future. Elsewhere, one analyst broke down the Cowboys trade assets and despite the idea being dismissed by the front office, Micah Parsons remains a candidate. Lastly, former defensive tackle Jay Ratliff receives his due and emerges as the secret bully who dominated former Eagles center Jason Kelce in a 2011 matchup.
