The NFL offseason is officially underway following Super Bowl LIX, and the Dallas Cowboys are poised to make significant changes as they welcome first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Key to Schottenheimer's strategy will be navigating free agency effectively, especially with notable players like Zack Martin, Osa Odighizuwa, and DeMarcus Lawrence hitting the market. Martin's future is uncertain, with retirement possibilities looming after an injury-plagued season. Odighizuwa is coming off a breakout year, attracting interest from various teams, while Lawrence's desire to continue playing hinges on his recovery from a recent injury.

Rico Dowdle emerged as a key asset in the backfield, leading the Cowboys with 1,079 rushing yards, while Jourdan Lewis solidified his role as a top cornerback. The fate of Cooper Rush and Trey Lance remains in flux as they vie for a more substantial role with Dak Prescott's injury history in mind. Meanwhile, other free agents, including Eric Kendricks, will also need careful consideration as the Cowboys look to create a competitive roster for the upcoming season.
