The Dallas Cowboys can retain their rare depth across the offensive line which gives them extra options in 2026

The Cowboys have already hired one coach away from a division rival, but won't be providing the same luxury to other franchises in the NFC East.

The 2025 defense was so bad it somewhat covered up how poorly the special teams unit played. Changes aren’t expected to that area of the coaching staff, but the group clearly did not perform up to expectation. The kick returning unit went from best in the league to middle of the pack while the punt return average was near the bottom of the NFL.

Despite regular playoff appearances, Dallas failed to reach a Super Bowl during Lawrence’s tenure. Postseason exits, often in the divisional round, defined the era, reinforcing Lawrence’s view that something was missing despite the talent on the roster.

If the Dallas Cowboys want to add linebacker depth in the 2026 NFL draft, these three players could be their best options.

The Dallas Cowboys need to add talent at both CB and De positions in 2026 but which road offers the best offerings for each? Free agency or the draft?
