"While we don't expect the Dallas Cowboys to go out and sign all of the top free agents at positions of "need", we do expect them to be more actively aggressive, targeting players who will step in and make an immediate impact."
"He's only 24 years old and entering the final year of his rookie contract. The Steelers are already heavily invested in T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, making it unlikely they will offer Herbig a contract extension. Swapping first-round draft picks is equivalent to a mid second-round draft pick this year."
"Minkah Fitzpatrick is supposedly being shopped by the Miami Dolphins and the Cowboys would be wise to make an offer to acquire his services. The three-time First-Team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl safety would not only be an upgrade over both Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson, but would be a near perfect fit for what Christian Parker is looking for at the position."
Jerry Jones has indicated willingness to exceed budget constraints in free agency and trades, though his history of such statements creates skepticism. This year feels different, potentially signaling genuine intent. Rather than pursuing all top free agents, the Cowboys are expected to target specific players for immediate impact. Proposed scenarios include trading first-round picks to acquire Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Nick Herbig, a 24-year-old entering his final rookie contract year who fits defensive coordinator Parker's scheme. Additionally, acquiring Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, a three-time First-Team All-Pro, would upgrade the secondary significantly over current starters Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson, providing versatility across multiple defensive roles.
