The Dallas Cowboys still have room to add veteran help from free agency, here are five options that would make plenty of sense to improve the defense even further. <\/p>\n

As of today, the Dallas Cowboys have 89 players on the roster, meaning they can still sign one or even two (as long as they use an international player designation) free agents to improve the team. <\/p>\n
With OTAs about to kick off in June, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the Cowboys wait around until training camp to make additional moves, but below is a list of five veterans I believe they should target. <\/p>\n
LB Bobby Wagner<\/p>\n
This is the most obvious one of them all. The Cowboys improved the linebacker position by trading for Dee Winters<\/a> and drafting Jaishawn Barham, but Wagner can be a solid veteran option on early downs and a mentor in the room. <\/p>\n Even at 35 years old, Wagner can bring quality defense versus the run and solid depth. <\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t expect Wagner to rock the green dot as the Cowboys would likely want to rotate him out on passing downs because his play in coverage has taken a hit. But still, Wagner would be a top-notch addition to the team. <\/p>\n LB Germaine Pratt<\/p>\n Like Wagner, Pratt can be a good bridge linebacker for the Cowboys. Last year, he played solid football upon joining the Indianapolis Colts. A rough start with the Las Vegas Raiders was quickly wiped away by good run defense. <\/p>\n Pratt isn\u2019t someone who will move the needle a whole lot but would bring much-needed depth to the position.<\/p>\n CB Rasul Douglas<\/p>\n I\u2019m not so sure the Cowboys will be looking into Douglas a whole lot but I would. He would immediately be a part of Dallas\u2019 position battle at outside cornerback, which is seemingly up for grabs between Cobie Durant and Shavon Revel Jr. <\/p>\n Nothing wrong with adding Douglas to the mix, who has 93 starts under his belt and two interceptions in 2025. <\/p>\n CB Adoree\u2019 Jackson<\/p>\n I\u2019m not high on Adoree\u2019 Jackson, and I\u2019m sure Cowboys fans who remember seeing him go up against CeeDee Lamb aren\u2019t either. <\/p>\n But the Cowboys brought him in for a workout earlier in the month so he needs to be on the list. While Jackson isn\u2019t the most attractive free agent on the market, he knows Christian Parker\u2019s scheme and could be valuable depth during the offseason. <\/p>\n Nickel CB Kenny Moore<\/p>\n
