With Zack Martin's retirement, the Dallas Cowboys are now tasked with filling the void left by a future Hall of Famer on their offensive line. The immediate question is whether they will keep it in-house with Brock Hoffman, who stepped into the starting right guard position last season after Martin's ankle injury, or look to external options such as free agency or the NFL Draft. Hoffman's performance in the latter part of the season showcased his physicality and aggressiveness, earning him the trust of fans and teammates alike.

Despite being an exclusive rights free agent, Hoffman's affordable status makes him a viable candidate for the Cowboys to consider as they rebuild their offensive line. His tenacity and relentless playing style could be a key component in maintaining the line's effectiveness as the team moves forward.
