The Dallas Cowboys face a critical offseason as they evaluate the future of head coach Mike McCarthy, with 27 players set to enter free agency. Among these, Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, Hall-of-Fame guard Zack Martin, and veteran cornerback Jourdan Lewis are key figures who will become unrestricted free agents in March. The team has significant decisions ahead as they attempt to maintain a competitive roster.
Tackle Chuma Edoga has emerged as a valuable asset for the Cowboys. After joining the team in 2023, he displayed versatility by participating in all 17 games, including 8 starts. He filled in for injured starters Tyron Smith and Tyler Smith, showcasing his ability to adapt under pressure.
Edoga’s performance improved notably in 2024, with a reduction in pressures allowed from 16 to just 7 compared to the previous season. He also maintained a solid performance record with only 5 sacks, 8 quarterback hits, and 5 penalties over two seasons. Re-signing Edoga could provide the Cowboys with crucial depth along the offensive line, ensuring they are prepared for any injuries as they head into the new season.
