Cowboys 2025 Free Agents

[UK Cowboy]

I did not hear that at all about Diggs this time . Where did you hear that? That would be really disappointing if true.

Hopefully Diggs is playing for his 2026 and 2027 salaries this year both from a quality of play and an effort perspective. But, with Dallas coaches and the Jones Boyz, we know that seldom if ever happens with young big names. If they take CB at 12 that will be, as they say, a shot across the bow (or maybe even a kick in the balls). Moving forward with Bland and a young CB would be a nice way to set us up going forward and using Diggs salary to pay for Bland would make it very cap friendly as well. Also, Diggs would be a guy we could trade for a decent draft pick next year and wouldn't just need to cut which would make it a double benefit.

You're right about a trade being for the best, though if they couldn't make a deal they might outright cut him. I heard Broaddus talking about him this time. Obviously, Diggs boned it up last time, and Broaddus was talking about how while Diggs has been following more of the Cowboys plan for him instead of his handlers this time, the difference in commitment and work effort between Overshown and Diggs was pretty stark.

The Cowboys rave about how Overshown works as hard rehabbing his devastating knee injury as any player they have ever have. He tore the ACL, MCL and PCL and has gone from original prognosis of missing all last season to now possibly making it back in the first month of the regular season. You hear the exact opposite about Diggs. The team was very upset with how he rehabbing his last injury and theres whispers out there thay it's the same thing all over again this time. I think if the Cowboys spend #12 on Will Johnson or on Barron then Diggs may be a cap casualty next summer

Overshown was the 2nd best defender on the defense last year IMO. The instincts a speed and you could tell he knew what was going on. Very smart player and I love the enthusiasm and confidence he brings

I think had the kid never been injured, he would be an all pro level player by next year. The kid is special. If he can get healthy and gain a little experience, he is a total game changer for the defense. He also shows what we have been missing not having a dynamic linebacker the last 20 years. I'm not talking a rush LB/edge like Micah/Ware but a true LB. We had a great one for a while in Sean Lee, but not one with this kids ability

I admit I was a little skeptical about him going into last season. From the get go he was flying around the field making all kinds of crazy plays


If he had not got injured he likely would have filled up the stat sheet with several more sacks,tackles and splash plays. He was that good.

I felt sick for him when he got hurt again.

We have really been ravaged by injuries, and what's crazy is that it has been younger guys. If we could go into a season knowing that Micah, Osa, Overshown, Diggs and Bland were all 100% healthy and good to go...you would really only be 2-3 players away from a great defense. Get a DT that is a run stuffer that can keep our smaller D from just getting ran over. Get a safety that can ballhawk. Losing JLew really hurts in the slot, maybe they can turn someone around. Problem is we are really top heavy. Take away a star or two and the holes are craters
