Cowboys Headlines: NFC East pass-rush rankings, A surprise RB2 option

The Dallas Cowboys‘ pass rush group has been a top concern this offseason after a horrible 2025 season following the Micah Parsons trade. Now the Cowboys find themselves at the bottom, looking up at the rest of the NFC East. Dallas made an effort to inject talent into the group through trades, both successful and failed, free agency, and in the draft. Time will tell if they can dig themselves out of the basement in the division.

Another position group with lingering questions, who will back up running back Javonte Williams? Despite the Cowboys believing in the players currently on the roster, they still have a chance to find help elsewhere. One player who could become available is the Chargers Kimani Vidal. Vidal stepped in for the Chargers as they dealt with injuries at the position, but could find himself on the outside looking in, making a potential trade for Dallas less expensive and more appealing. Though it may take an injury for the Cowboys to make a move.
