The Cowboys have officially signed safety Jalen Thompson, safety P.J. Locke and QB Sam Howell.

They released QB Will Grier.

THought they may wait until camp to have the extra arm and competition for Grier

Starting to feel pretty good about our Defense. It may take a couple of years to get it right, but this is one heck of an interesting path. Coming in with no previous ties to Dallas lets him do this without worrying about old loyalties

Rashan Gary contract
2 years, $32 million, $16 million guaranteed.

Bonus: $13.2m

2026 - $1.8m, plus $1m active roster bonus
2027 - $15m, plus $1m active roster bonus

1st year is guaranteed ... Cap number drops from $19.5m to $5.4m in 2026 … There are 6 void years in the deal.

Wonder if someone like Indy at 113 would take our 3 5ths to trade up for their 4th, of it they want to stockpile at all draft positions?

Looking like there is a chance that Caleb Downs might drop to 12, due to some "minor" knee problems at the combine.

I know Jerry said we're not taking on any more Red Cross cases, but this might be one to look closely at. Downs and Thompson would make one hell of a S pair

The Cowboys have agreed to a deal with OL Matt Hennessy, according to a source. He has 24 starts in 64 career games with Atlanta and San Francisco. Would be in line to replace Brock Hoffman, who was not tendered as an RFA.

He seems to pretty experienced. Wondering what kind of deal he got

The Cowboys are adding a much-needed starting cornerback to the mix. Cobie Durant has started 29 games over the last two seasons. He had 3 interceptions last year in 17 games (15 starts) and 3 interceptions in the Rams’ three playoff games https://t.co/vbBuTfWn5i

— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) March 13, 2026

I like this add. Much-needed durability in the CB room and gives DaRon Bland versatility to move inside or out. Also elevates Shavon Revel going into year two.

High ball production and disciplined on the outside.

You don’t absolutely *HAVE TO* draft a CB with a high pick now. https://t.co/7fCyC81Rmk

Cowboys Keeping Eye on Maxx Crosby

I remember rooting hard for Montgomery on his draft day;

Since new RB David Montgomery met with the media today, this is a good time to repeat these stats that show how bad the Texans' running game was in the red zone. They had 9 rushing TDs, Montgomery had 8 as a backup. Over the last 3 years, he had 33 and they had 34. Case closed!

New #Cowboys CB Cobie Durant is a solid cornerback who sets a nice floor for DAL at CB. He does his best work from squat/off coverage, where he can play top down and drive on short-to-intermediate passes. On two-to-one reads or against bunches, he can be a tick slow to relate to… pic.twitter.com/NcefnzeX08

The #Cowboys are expected to sign former Rams cornerback Cobie Durant per @JFowlerESPN and @toddarcher.

Durant has at least 3 INTs in two of his four seasons in the league.

The Cowboys are starting to see a few free agents now joining other teams. Safety Juanyeh Thomas appears to be the next in line to sign elsewhere.

The Cowboys safety is expected to sign with the Colts, according to multiple sources.

A few interesting FAs

David Njoku, TE
2025 team: Cleveland Browns | Age entering 2026 season: 30
What he brings: With his frame and physical tools, Njoku is a seam stretcher who can create isolation matchups in the low red zone. However, he missed 11 games in the past two seasons because of injuries. In 12 games this past season, he caught 33 passes for 293 yards and four touchdowns.

Cameron Jordan, Edge
2025 team: New Orleans Saints | Age entering 2026 season: 37
What he brings: Jordan, who will be a free agent before his 16th pro season, had 10.5 sacks in 2025 (his most since 2021). With the physical profile (6-foot-4, 287 pounds) to play as a 4-3 edge, and the movement ability he showed on the tape this past season, Jordan can be helpful even if it's in a rotational role.

Bobby Wagner, LB
2025 team: Washington Commanders | Age entering 2026 season: 36
What he brings: Wagner's 9.5 tackles per game ranked sixth overall in 2025, showing he can still key quickly and rack up run stops. He does have limitations in coverage at this stage of his career, but he would add a veteran voice and early-down production to any NFL defense.

Colbie's deal is a make-do one year deal

I could be happy with this

Interesting...gives a nice benchmark for a Pickens' value if it comes to that.

Broncos are trading for Miami WR Jaylen Waddle, per source.

Denver receives: Waddle and Dolphins’ 4th-round pick (11th in round) in this year’s draft.

NFC east news

The Eagles and receiver Hollywood Brown agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth up to $6.5 million, a league source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

A speed receiver who can stretch the field, Brown is expected to fill the role occupied the past two seasons by Jahan Dotson, who left for the Atlanta Falcons in free agency last week. Brown, 28, has the stronger overall resume of the two, highlighted by a 1,000-yard campaign in 2021. Last year, he caught 49 passes for 587 yards and five scores for the undermanned Chiefs. It's unlikely he would see that level of volume in Philly as the projected No. 3 behind DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown.

BTW - I really like a possible Alex Highsmith trade that Mike Fisher mentions in that story

New Cowboys safety P.J. Locke knows new Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker from their time together in Denver. Parker was the Broncos' DB coach (2021-2023).

Locke: "CP hates grey area. The grey area creates miscommunication. It (makes you) play slower. He's just really big on details, teaching you the game. He's a technician in that type of way, how he goes about teaching his techniques. That's everything I love as a player. There's a reason a lot of people gravitated towards him.

"He demands a lot out of his players. He wants the best for you. There will be some days where it's tough. You have to have those tough conversations, which I had a bunch of those being young. And I can honestly say, he helped shape me into the player I am today."
