Dallas Cowboys News Updates: Major Moves in Free Agency, Contracts, and Retirements
The Dallas Cowboys have been making significant moves as they prepare for the 2025 season. From key contract restructures to notable retirements and trade speculations, here’s the latest on America’s Team.
Dak Prescott’s Contract Restructure Saves Millions
The Cowboys have restructured quarterback Dak Prescott’s contract, creating tens of millions in cap space for 2025. This move follows a similar restructuring of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb’s contract, giving the team flexibility for future signings and extensions. However, Prescott’s long-term future with the team remains uncertain, as his contract extension has yet to be finalized 【8】.
Micah Parsons’ Contract and Trade Rumors
Despite being one of the league’s top defensive players, Micah Parsons’ contract situation remains unresolved. Recent reports suggest the Cowboys have made little progress in extending him, leading to speculation about a potential holdout similar to Lamb’s earlier situation. Additionally, an ex-NFL scout has floated potential trade scenarios for Parsons, adding to the uncertainty 【10】.
Zack Martin Retires, To Be Honored in Ring of Honor
Longtime Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin has officially retired after 11 seasons. Widely considered one of the greatest offensive linemen in franchise history, Martin will be inducted into the Cowboys’ prestigious Ring of Honor. Former quarterback Tony Romo praised Martin, calling him “a rare, rare football player.” His departure leaves a significant hole in the Cowboys’ offensive line 【7】【8】.
Cowboys Exploring Free Agency Options
With free agency looming, the Cowboys are looking at several key positions. Linebacker Eric Kendricks is among the top targets, especially with DeMarvion Overshown expected to miss time due to injury. Additionally, veteran cornerback Jourdan Lewis is headlining the Cowboys’ options at the position, following a strong 2024 season 【7】.
Rumors: Could the Cowboys Target Tyreek Hill?
A three-time Super Bowl-winning former Cowboy has urged the team to pursue Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill via trade. While no official talks have taken place, the idea of pairing Hill with Lamb and Prescott is generating buzz among fans 【10】.
Looking Ahead
With free agency, the NFL Draft, and contract negotiations on the horizon, the Cowboys are at a pivotal point. Whether they extend Parsons, make bold trades, or stick to building through the draft, owner Jerry Jones and the front office have critical decisions to make before the 2025 season kicks off.
