Cowboys News: Free agency options and recruiting with the new CRO

Potential additions at running back and wide receiver, Micah Parsons’ recruiting trail and Odighizuwa’s steady rise in the trenches. | From @CDBurnett7

Heading into the meat of the 2023 offseason, wide receiver sits at the top of the Cowboys’ list of needs. There’s an Ohio State star who could fill the hole while Jerry Jones has been vocal about the continued interest in free agent Odell Beckham Jr.

Elsewhere in the offense, running back could see a complete change next season. Tony Pollard is the most likely candidate to receive the franchise tag while Ezekiel Elliott’s time in Dallas could be coming to an end. If either are true, there’s a plethora of promising running backs in the draft.

On defense, Leighton Vander Esch’s 2022 stopped the bleeding at linebacker but he may be heading to another team. Micah Parsons has made his preferences heard in the recruiting other star players. Will the rise of Osa Odighizuwa translate into year 3? This and more in News and Notes.
