2. DeMarvion Overshown’s Health and Potential Make Extension Unlikely
Info: Unrestricted Free Agent Next Offseason, Unlikely to be Franchised Tagged due to Positional Value & Uncertainty
The other guy, DeMarvion Overshown, is a genuine fan favorite, and it is easy to understand why.
Former Texas Longhorn, electric, high-energy player when healthy, true team leader. That all resonates with the Dallas faithful in a significant way, but it doesn’t change the facts around his situation, especially when it comes to health.
Overshown has had major struggles with staying on the field, and if he comes asking for a big bag in 2027 after more issues this year, Dallas will say no.
On the flip side, his elite potential could result in a huge year that, similarly to Pickens, prices Dallas out from extending him to a long-term deal. The addition of Jaishawn Barham in the draft adds another layer to it, as he should be able to replace Overshown next year.
