"While we were all hoping Jerry Jones would "bust the budget" in free agency this year, sometimes things just don't fall into place like we hope. They tried and failed to trade for Maxx Crosby, which could be a blessing considering recent news, and sign Nakobe Dean. Had they landed Crosby and Dean, fans around Cowboys Nation would be applauding the free agency additions and Jerry Jones."
"The former Ohio State LB was continuously mocked to the Cowboys early on in the draft process. But, after his jaw-dropping performance at the combine, it was believed it was highly unlikely he'd still be on the board when they are on the clock at 12. Recent free agent moves may make that a possibility once again."
"Three teams who were expected to be landing spots for Sonny Styles picking ahead of the Cowboys in the Top 10 recently address the LB position via free agency. The Giants signed Tremaine Edmonds, the Commanders signed Leo Chenal, and the Saints signed Kaden Ellis. That could take them out of the running for Styles services."
The Dallas Cowboys have made limited free agency moves, acquiring safety Jalen Thompson and edge rusher Rashan Gary as incremental upgrades. Failed attempts to trade for Maxx Crosby and sign Nakobe Dean prevented more significant roster improvements. Linebacker remains Dallas' most pressing need after the position was depleted. Recent free agent signings by competing teams—the Giants signing Tremaine Edmonds, Commanders signing Leo Chenal, and Saints signing Kaden Ellis—may have reduced draft competition for Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles. Styles was previously expected to be selected before Dallas' 12th overall pick, but these free agency moves could make him available when the Cowboys are on the clock.
