The Dallas Cowboys just recently made their first big move, and arguably the most important, by naming Christian Parker as Matt Eberflus\u2019 replacement as their new defensive coordinator. It\u2019s going to be really interesting to see how Parker fills out his coaching staff in the next weeks, and how much input he\u2019ll have on free agency, which is quickly approaching on March 11.<\/p>\n
As a first-time DC there\u2019s a bit of the mystery surrounding Christian Parker and exactly what kind of defensive scheme he\u2019ll utilize. Knowing he comes from the Vic Fangio coaching tree gives us an idea about what we could expect, however, Parker may add his personal touch that makes things slightly different. Whatever the case, we all know he needs more help in order to give himself the best chance of succeeding.<\/p>\n
The hope is Jerry Jones and Company will be much more active in free agency by actually adding some quality starters instead of shopping the \u201cbargain bin\u201d as they have recently. With that in mind, here is a free agent wish list of the players we would like to see them target. We approach this exercise with team \u201cneed\u201d in mind and under the assumption they haven\u2019t retained any of their pending free agents.<\/p>\n
While Javonte Williams had a good year with the Cowboys last season, Breece Hall would be an upgrade in Dallas. His versatility as a runner and receiver out of the backfield, as well as his game-breaking speed, would make Dallas\u2019 offense much more dangerous and explosive.<\/p>\n
Alec Pierce would be a great consolation prize if the Cowboys are unable to retain George Pickens for whatever reason. He\u2019s one of the best deep threats in the entire league whose production will likely improved with better QB play, unlike the carousel he\u2019s had to deal with during his time with the Colts.<\/p>\n
After a mid-season trade from the Ravens to the Chargers, things seem to finally fall in place for former first-round pick Odafe Oweh. He finished the season with a total of eight QB sacks and had a pass-rush win rate of 16.5% after arriving in L.A. He\u2019s one of the better young pass rusher\u2019s on the open market.<\/p>\n
Devin Lloyd was not only arguably be the best linebacker in the entire league in 2025, but he also happens to be the top free agent at his position. It\u2019s unlikely the Cowboys pay the type of money he\u2019ll command on the open market, however, he\u2019d be a huge upgrade at the position if they did.<\/p>\n
Taylor could be an interesting chess piece for the Cowboys. He has the versatility to play outside CB or in the slot, which could allow Christian Parker to get really creative with his coverage scheme. He could be an invaluable asset that helps solidify Dallas\u2019 secondary.<\/p>\n
Not only is Blankenship one of the better free agent safeties this year, but he\u2019s the one player on this list with ties to Dallas\u2019 new DC Christian Parker. He\u2019d be an upgrade for the Cowboys and would be an asset as they transition from Matt Eberflus\u2019 scheme to Parker\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Cowboys just recently made their first big move, and arguably the most important, by naming Christian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,26780,104,103],"class_list":{"0":"post-142189","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-cowboys-free-agency","10":"tag-dallas-headlines","11":"tag-dallas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
