Cowboys Shore Up Defense
The Dallas Cowboys re-signed pass-rusher Sam Williams and acquired edge rusher Rashan Gary, focusing on defensive needs in free agency.
The move addresses a key area of need, as the Cowboys' defense struggled with consistent pressure last season. Improved pass rush should help the entire defense perform better in 2026. Gary's acquisition could be particularly impactful, as he's coming off a season with a career-high in sacks. His addition should complement Williams' existing skillset and create more opportunities for the Cowboys' defensive line. These moves signal a clear emphasis on improving the team's defense after failing to advance in the playoffs last season. The Cowboys are investing in proven talent to bolster their defensive capabilities.
