The 2026 NFL <\/a>calendar year officially opens on Wednesday, March 11. The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> and teams around the league will be able to begin signing free agents at 4:00 p.m. ET, but over the next two days, the team will get an opportunity to begin negotiations during the legal tampering period<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones<\/a> made it clear that the team plans to address issues on defense<\/a> and vowed to “bust the budget” in the offseason<\/a>, so it will be interesting to see who the team shows immediate interest in on Monday afternoon. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys may have missed out on a trade for Las Vegas Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby<\/a>, who was acquired by the Baltimore Ravens over the weekend, but there are still several intriguing pass rushers who will be available on the open market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are reportedly one of the teams keeping a close eye on former NFL sack leader Trey Hendrickson<\/a>, who penned an emotional farewell to Cincinnati after the Bengals decided not to use the franchise tag. <\/p>\n

After missing out on Maxx Crosby, the Cowboys are expected to make Hendrickson a top priority. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys will pivot toward other pass rushers in free agency. There are some I think they like. I’m not entirely sure Trey Hendrickson is one of those. Won’t rule anything out, but I get a sense their eyes are elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are expected to make a play for safety P.J. Locke,<\/a> who has a relationship with Christian Parker dating back to his time with the Broncos. <\/p>\n

Locke is one of the players to watch for Dallas when the legal tampering period officially opens. <\/p>\n

Cowboys plan to look at safety in P. J. Locke in free agency. He is represented by agent David Mulugheta of Athletes First.
Mulugheta is inevitable<\/p>\n
