"With the dismissal of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, the reconstruction of the Dallas Cowboys is officially underway. As the playoffs begin this weekend, the Cowboys have their eyes elsewhere and look to fix what was a flawed roster that led to a disappointing losing season. Decisions on high-priced veterans will be made, and contracts will either be restructured or terminated altogether."
"The Cowboys also have to determine if some players on expiring contracts are worth keeping or setting them free for the open market. Per Spotrac, the Cowboys have eight offensive players who are coming up on free agency, with varying degrees of necessity. Here's whether the Cowboys should re-sign these offensive players or let them walk. Dallas will need valuable depth at the position. Bass has done a good job in spurts when asked to step in."
"Due to his limited experience and the Cowboys knowing him well, it shouldn't take much to retain him on the team. Bass can play either guard spot and most recently filled in for a few games when Tyler Smith moved to left tackle. Also, Bass is a restricted free agent; therefore, a suitor would have to offer the Cowboys compensation to pry him away."
With the dismissal of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, reconstruction of the Dallas Cowboys is underway. The team faces decisions on high-priced veterans, potential contract restructures or terminations, and which expiring contracts to retain or let reach free agency. The Cowboys have eight offensive players approaching free agency, requiring evaluation of necessity and cost. Depth along the offensive line is a priority; players like Bass offer versatile, low-cost options and restricted free agent status that eases retention. Hakeem Adeniji should be kept through the offseason and training camp as an emergency bridge while the team pursues a new right tackle to protect Dak Prescott.
