The Dallas Cowboys now have a storied tradition when it comes to how they build their roster. Focusing on their draft hauls, they tend not to invest in outsiders for the long haul. The club looks at big-value contracts as rewards for performance, while other teams take a more speculative approach to things, betting on the come. And because the club likes to wait until the last minute instead of getting ahead of things with pending free agents, each year it seems that they have a huge free agency class.
2026 appears to be no different. While there are still all of the summer months and the entire regular season still to play out, the list of pending free agents is once again ripe with talent. Here’s a look at all of the players who are on expiring deals at the moment.
Defense
Edge Micah Parsons (3x All-Pro, 4x Pro Bowler)
CB DaRon Bland (1x All-Pro, 1x Pro Bowler)
Safety Juanyeh Thomas (RFA)
