The Dallas Cowboys had an extremely quiet free agency period this offseason after navigating through the rough early part of the offseason where they had to figure out the future of quarterback Dak Prescott and head coach Mike McCarthy, as the team decided to keep both for 2024 but acknowledged that it is a make or break year for the franchise.

The Cowboys took edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland out of Western Michigan in the second round and guard Cooper Beebe out of Kansas State in the third round.
You can never go wrong building through the trenches, and it’s nice to see the Cowboys going that route instead of making the glamorous choices.
