2025 Dallas Cowboys free agents: All players, names and what you need to know
The season is officially over for the Dallas Cowboys and at long last we are free from the way that 2024 trapped this team and the fanbase. All eyes are now fixated on the 2025 season for us, and there is a lot of work that this team has to do before they get there in September.
Among the most important things for the Cowboys to tend to soon enough will be the waters of free agency. While Dallas is unlikely to venture much into the uncharted territory of external free agency, they are known to tread in the pool of their own players from time to time.
Here are all of the players on the Cowboys set to become free agents this spring.

Over The Cap
There are some serious names here, obviously Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence stand out. Given that they were drafted over a decade ago now it is fair to wonder if their careers are over in general or if they are just over with this team. Clearly time will tell.
Among the UFAs (unrestricted free agents) Jourdan Lewis, Cooper Rush and Osa Odighizuwa jump out as the most notable players who many would want to see return. Rush feels possible, although whoever the coaching staff is clearly matters there, and Lewis may be down for another year with the Cowboys after this much time served. Given that Odighizuwa has had a career year it is fair to wonder whether or not he has priced himself out of Dallas’ range of comfortability.
You will note that several players are listed as RFA. These are restricted free agents. These are players who are subject to tenders from the Cowboys which allows them the ability to match an offer based on the level of tender that they apply. It feels safe to say this will only really matter with KaVontae Turpin, but obviously we will see.
There are also a few exclusive rights free agents which are players who the Cowboys can very easily bring back if they want to based on the way that contracts in the NFL work. Dallas has the ability to offer the ERFA tender to them so it is possible that this works out for say Brock Hoffman or Juanyeh Thomas.
As noted throughout, whoever is the head coach and whatever their staff looks like will be rather important in determining who returns and who departs from this list.
Who do you feel like the Cowboys absolutely need to bring back?
