"With most of their major players under contract heading into 2026, and George Pickens expected to be extended or franchise tagged, the Cowboys focus should be on improving their defense over the offseason. It is still to be determined if defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus will be back in 2026, but it is no secret the Cowboys free agency and draft plans will be focused on the defensive side of the ball."
"With Micah Parsons now in Green Bay, the Cowboys own the Packers first round pick in the 2026 NFL draft. With two first-round picks, the Cowboys are set up nicely to add two difference-making players to their roster for 2026. With Parsons now in Green Bay, the Cowboys must find a pass rusher that can affect games off the edge.

The club needs an edge rusher and cornerback help; Donovan Ezeiruaku has shown run-defense strengths, and David Bailey is proposed as an edge complement.
