For fans, the Dallas Cowboys’ approach to free agency is like an itchy itch that won’t go away. You want to take action because you know it upsets you, yet the answer seems just out of reach. Every year, it’s known that the Cowboys will not be eager to provide large contracts to well-known free agents. However, it is infuriating to watch division competitors add significant players to their roster in the opening few days of free agency while the Cowboys are concentrating on other matters. You may be confident, though, that the organization will eventually acquire some players and reach an agreement with outside free agents. Here are five free agents that the team may sign in the upcoming offseason; spoiler alert: many of them may be in for the same reason.
Williams is a player who, while in Dallas, you can argue was playing out of position. He had difficulties with injuries and penalties that marred his time in Dallas. However, since leaving, Williams has transitioned to playing at center and started all 17 games for the Miami Dolphins in 2022 and nine in 2023.
The Cowboys lost their starting center to the Washington Commanders, and if they had to line up today it would be Brock Hoffman assuming starting duties in Dallas. Williams could be competition for Hoffman and an experienced player in the middle of the line. Williams has tinkered with center and guard and has played left tackle dating back to his time at Texas when he was an All-American.
