The quarterback then rewarded the club with a strong performance to play a hand in the convincing 16-point victory over the Browns.

Dallas’ defense and pass rush were the bigger story in the contest, though, racking up six sacks and 17 QB hits.

Add Now: CB Ahkello Witherspoon

As mentioned last week, the Cowboys could use some experienced help at cornerback with DaRon Bland beginning the season on injured reserve. Meanwhile, it’s pretty perplexing that Witherspoon is still available.

He’s had injury issues in the past but is coming off a season where he played and started in all of the Rams’ games and logged a career-high 14 passes defended. Also, the seven-year pro surrendered a meager 76.7 passer rating when targeted, per PFF.

So, this could be a situation where the stars align given the team’s need at cornerback and Witherspoon’s starting experience.

2025 Free Agency: DE Clelin Ferrell, Washington Commanders

DeMarcus Lawrence is entering a contract year and turns 33 in April. Dallas also has several other impending free agents, including Zack Martin, so there’s a good chance this is Lawrence’s last season with the club.

While the hope is that 2024 second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland can step up and replace the veteran in the starting lineup next year, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add Ferrell as an insurance policy and cheaper free agent.

If Kneeland isn’t ready, Ferrell can contribute on early downs while the Western Michigan product comes off the bench in passing situations. Worst case, the defense has a veteran backup it can rely on.

2025 NFL Draft: IOL Tyler Booker, Alabama

While he’ll likely be putting on a gold jacket in the future, Martin is about to be a 34-year-old free agent. So the Cowboys might want to start thinking about investing in the future of the interior offensive line, and the 6’5″ and 352-pound Alabama product would be a good starting point.

“Enter the 6’5″, 325-pound Booker, who brings jarring power and physicality to the guard spot,” B/R’s offensive line scout Brandon Thorn said.

“His middling recovery skills may cap his ceiling as a pro, but there are clear strengths to his game that should translate quickly and with added refinement to his technique could see a similar sort of rise as recent second-round pick O’Cyrus Torrence.”
