"Franklin-Myers is a hybrid defensive lineman having the ability to play defensive end or defensive tackle in multiple fronts. With Christian Parker expected to play more odd-fronts in Dallas, Franklin-Myers makes a lot of sense. Franklin-Myers size gives him the versatility to play left defensive end in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts, while also having the ability to play the five-technique or three-technique in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. His position flexibility, pass rush ability, and his recent resurgence as a run defender"
"With Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson now out based on earlier moves, enter Alohi Gilman. Gilman had an up-and-down career with the Chargers before being traded to the Baltimore Ravens last season. Gilman was tremendous in Baltimore since arriving and proved to be one of the more versatile safeties in the league to close out the season. Gilman would give Parker a guy that has experience and versatility to play deep (314 snaps in 2025), in the box (314 snaps in 2025),"
The offseason roadmap advances from restructures and internal signings to adding players via free agency and the draft to complete projected offensive and defensive lineups. The Cowboys may shift from a historically passive stance on outside free agents to a slightly more aggressive strategy. Franklin-Myers provides hybrid defensive-line versatility, able to play end or tackle across 3-4 and 4-3 fronts, offers pass-rush ability, improved run defense, and carries a market value near $8 million with a proposed two-year deal. Alohi Gilman supplies safety versatility, capable of playing deep, in the box, or covering from the slot. Quincy Williams is also identified as a potential target.
