When it comes to the offseason there are two primary windows of opportunity for NFL teams to add to or adjust their roster. Things begin with free agency and the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> do not exactly believe in utilizing it to a serious degree. This year ran a little counter to that, more on that in a moment, but anybody who has been paying attention knows that the Cowboys like to build primarily through the NFL Draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The draft took place this past weekend which means we know the results of both windows in question. Obviously the Cowboys could still look to add to their roster through what would technically be free agency, but the point feels understood that the bulk of what they will do and the most serious things that they will do in that sense have already happened.<\/p>\n

Sometimes looking at all of this information together can be helpful in the name of seeing the offseason to assess the full body of work. That is what we are doing today.<\/p>\n

There are of course several undrafted free agents who the Cowboys have signed – you can view the entire list here<\/a> – and history suggests that at least one of them will make the team. <\/p>\n

Pardon the leaning into the cheesy phrase that Stephen Jones coined, but this really does feel like being selectively aggressive. If we are going into things with an open mind, we should be, then it is difficult to not feel extremely pleased with what the team has done over the last few months.<\/p>\n

Now, it goes without saying that the Cowboys could still look to add to the wide receiver spot. That is the lone corner of the room that they have not dusted and cleaned to this point.<\/p>\n

But it makes perfect sense that the Cowboys will be more talented on the field in 2025 than they were a year ago (not exactly a difficult thing) and likely beyond as well.<\/p>\n
