"Brock Hoffman and T.J. Bass have provided the Cowboys with solid and inexpensive depth at guard and center the last few seasons. Starting 16 and 10 games respectively since 2023, these undrafted finds have allowed Dallas to focus draft picks and cap resources elsewhere, providing strong value given minimal investment."
"Dallas could make it simple by re-signing one or both of them to a new deal, like they did with S Markquese Bell last year. He was given a three-year, $9 million contract to avoid any RFA shenanigans, plus giving the Cowboys more cap flexibility and both parties more long-term security."
"In Hoffman's case, this makes it very possible that his time in Dallas is over. He turns just 27 this summer and has enough experience to have a market. He could compete for a starting job with some teams, or at least be a valuable, versatile backup elsewhere."
Brock Hoffman and T.J. Bass have provided the Dallas Cowboys with valuable depth at guard and center positions since 2023 while requiring minimal investment as undrafted players. Both are scheduled to become restricted free agents this offseason. The Cowboys can either re-sign them to new contracts for long-term security, similar to their approach with safety Markquese Bell, or use RFA tenders to retain their rights. Dallas is reportedly not expected to tender Hoffman, making him an unrestricted free agent who can test the market and potentially pursue starting opportunities elsewhere. Bass is expected to receive a second-round tender, which would likely keep him with the Cowboys for 2026, as few teams would trade that draft capital for him.
