Dallas Cowboys Bring Back Much-Needed Offensive Piece

The Dallas Cowboys have not been very active in free agency. As a matter of fact, the only signing they made outside of their own players was linebacker Eric Kendricks.

Financial constraints have made it very difficult for Dallas to make big moves, especially with quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and edge rusher Micah Parsons all angling for new deals.

However, the Cowboys did make a rather significant move on Wednesday, re-signing versatile offensive lineman Chuma Edoga, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Edoga made six starts for Dallas this past season and played both left tackle and left guard while filling in for injured players.

With the loss of left tackle Tyron Smith to free agency, the re-signing of Edoga becomes that much more pivotal. He can play four different positions along the offensive line, which makes him a very valuable piece to the Cowboys’ offense.

Edoga, who played his collegiate football at USC, was originally selected by the New York Jets in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

The 26-year-old spent the first three years of his career with the Jets, making 24 appearances with 12 starts. He then joined the Atlanta Falcons for one season before linking up with Dallas.

Edoga’s versatility provides the Cowboys with some flexibility, which is very key for a franchise that is currently trying to save some money.

Dallas has registered three straight 12-win seasons, but has failed to make it past the Divisional Round of the playoffs in any of them. This past year, the Cowboys fell to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round.

As a matter of fact, Dallas has not made it to the NFC Championship Game since January 1996.
