In this episode we’re breaking down the Dallas Cowboys’ 2026 NFL Draft strategy and free-agent approach — and reacting to the real conversations happening across Dallas media, beat writers, and fan circles right now.

The Cowboys are entering a massive offseason. After a disappointing season and defensive struggles, owner Jerry Jones has already hinted the team could “do some dramatic things” to win while Dak Prescott’s window is open. We discuss whether Dallas finally goes aggressive — or sticks to its usual roster-building philosophy.

Topics covered:
• Why this draft class changes how Dallas should use its first-round picks
• The debate: build through the draft vs. actually spending in free agency
• Salary cap moves (Dak Prescott restructures, CeeDee Lamb & roster cuts)
• The George Pickens contract situation and franchise-tag rumors
• Why nearly every Cowboys reporter keeps pointing to defense as the top priority
• Pass rush, linebacker, corner and secondary rebuild possibilities
• How free agency decisions will dictate the Cowboys’ draft board

Dallas media has been buzzing about:
– Cap space creation and contract restructures
– Potential defensive free-agent targets
– Whether Dallas should draft a pass rusher early
– The team possibly taking multiple defensive starters in the first two rounds

Bottom line: If the Cowboys don’t address defense in free agency, they may be forced to reach in the draft — and that’s exactly how teams get stuck in roster purgatory.
