In his pursuit of closing the gap with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus emphasized the importance of enhancing the defensive line. He highlighted the need for depth, especially after losing key free agents, but expressed excitement about the potential of current players and upcoming drafts. This offseason, the Cowboys made significant moves, including re-signing defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a lucrative four-year, $80 million deal and adding Solomon Thomas from the New York Jets on a two-year contract.

Thomas, a former third overall pick, complements the existing lineup and brings valuable experience. His performance with the Jets, including 8.5 sacks last season, positions him as a crucial addition. Eberflus is optimistic about the future, envisioning a formidable defensive front capable of competing at a higher level.
