The Dallas Cowboys Are Making Massive 2026 Offseason Moves

This was a smart move by Dallas. Clocking in Pickens at $28M gives them leverage to get a long-term deal done by July. That Lamb-Pickens duo with Dak could be unstoppable.

​George had 93 catches and 1,400 yards in his first year with Dak. This could be the best trade GM Jerry Jones has made in a decade if they do not lose him.

Cowboys To Rework Top Defensive Line Contracts

Williams, Odighizuwa, and Clark are scheduled to count roughly $63 million against the salary cap. The situation with the three defensive tackles will be the cap movement of the most importance.
