When you’re a team that focuses on re-signing your in-house talent thanks to your ability to draft extremely well, the list of pending free agents is always a long one. That list is then augmented by the series of one-year deals the front office hands out, hoping to finding lightning in a bottle to augment the long-term deals of those in house. That’s the case once again for the Dallas Cowboys.
In 2023 the Cowboys have 24 pending free agents of which the club will look to decide who they will try to bring back to the fold to add to their 49 players currently under contract. Dallas can work on deals with all of these guys over the next two months, but once the start of the new league year hits in March, most of these players can begin to negotiate with other teams and see where their true value lies.
Here’s a look at the list, as well as what we believe is the likelihood these players would figure into the comp pick formula should they ink a deal with another team. Comp picks are awarded based on whether or not a team lost more qualifying free agents than they signed, and the value is based on a formula largely dependent on the annual value of the new contract.
