Cowboys lose three key players, face Parsons decision

The Dallas Cowboys have been active in free agency but face challenges after losing three key defensive players. DeMarcus Lawrence signed with the Seattle Seahawks, while Chauncey Golston and Jourdan Lewis joined the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively. The Cowboys re-signed Osa Odighizuwa for four years at $80 million and added Soloman Thomas and Payton Turner to their defensive line. However, star pass rusher Micah Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal, raising questions about his future with the team. Offensively, the Cowboys are adjusting after guard Zack Martin's retirement and running back Rico Dowdle's departure. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer aims to improve the team's performance after a disappointing 2024 season.
