Cowboys could be realistic landing spot for big-name free agent
The Dallas Cowboys could end up signing a big-name tackle in free agency
The Dallas Cowboys haven’t done much yet in NFL Free Agency, but that’s mostly because they can’t. The Cowboys are strapped on the salary cap and don’t have much wiggle room to make moves, but they might be able to as the offseason progresses.
The Cowboys currently have a glaring need at the left tackle position following the departure of former first-round pick Tyron Smith, a franchise staple after being picked back in the 2010 NFL Draft. Smith bolted for the New York Jets where he will now be the blind side protector of Aaron Rodgers.
So what are the Cowboys going to do at the left tackle position? The options at this point are still pretty wide open. The Cowboys have the 2024 NFL Draft ahead of them, but they also have the ability to let free agency come to them as the offseason progresses. One possible big-name addition they could make is former Green Bay Packers All-Pro David Bakhtiari, who was released earlier this offseason to save the Packers $20 million in salary cap space.
Bakhtiari has not played much over the last handful of years, but does intend to keep his playing career going in the 2024 season.
