Cowboys' Offseason Moves: Still Holes in Lineup

On May 2nd, Dallas Cowboys put in solid work this offseason, hiring a new defensive

coordinator and stacking their depth chart without big splashes.

They signed Edge Russia Rashan Gary for proven pressure up front and safety Jalen Thompson

to bolster the secondary.

In the draft, they grabbed safety Caleb Downs, Edge Malachi Lawrence, and linebacker J.

Sean Barham, then traded for starter D winters.

That filled most holes, but three spots still look thin as they eye their 2026 roster.

Inside linebacker stands out as a weak link, lacking veteran leadership to anchor the

middle.

Guys like Bobby Wagner or Bobby Ocariki remain free agents and could add instant credibility

against the run.

Offensive tackle needs insurance too.

Rookie drew Shelton from Penn State my start someday, but left tackle how the guidance

is unproven, right tackle.

Steele's struggle last year and back up Nate Thomas graded low at 39.2 by PFF.

Cornerback rounds out the gaps, a vet like Kenny Moore II, possibly traded from Indy,

would lock down that unit nicely.

Jerry Jones knows these tweaks could elevate the defense and protect that offense.

Watch for moves before training camp heats up.
