We are four weeks into the new league year, and the Dallas Cowboys have made some positive strides to start the NFL offseason. But now, with the NFL Draft less than one month away, there is still some room for improvement.
Dallas entered free agency well above the salary cap and was forced to get creative to become salary cap compliant. After some major restructures for star players like Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb , and Quinnen Williams, the team freed up some room to work with.
That led to the signings of players like Jalen Thompson, P.J. Locke, and Cobie Durant to bolster the secondary, along with a trade with the Green Bay Packers for a second straight year, adding EDGE Rashan Gary to improve the pass rush.
After all of the moves, Dallas has $16 million in available space, which is the 20th-most cap space in the league. It's well below the Tennessee Titans, who have a whopping $64 million available, but it's still enough to continue its rebuild of the roster for new defensive coordinator Christian Parker.
We'll have to see if the team has anything left up its sleeve.
