The Dallas Cowboys are in the throes of a playoff hunt. Soon to be officially awarded a ticket to the tourney, the club has done an excellent job in managing rookies and veterans in their efforts to put together top offensive, defensive and special teams units. The front office, led by personnel man Will McClay and money man Stephen Jones have finally put together a roster and practice squad that can be considered elite in all three phases and they’ve been a competitive window for the organization.

Things change from year to year though and through several decisions made each season, the club has a handful of players who are set to test free agency this coming offseason, whenever the journey ends. If it is completed by hoisting a sixth Lombadri trophy, one can imagine the price tag on several of these players to skyrocket. There’s always a tax for Super Bowl winning free agents, but the Tampa Bay Bucs brought their band back together for another run this year. Who knows, that fate could await Dallas should they win it all.

Still, a combination of expiring rookie deals, short-term veteran agreements and one-year prove-it deals aligns for Dallas to have 24 free agents to tend to. While some are restricted (three years of service) or even Exclusive Rights (two years or less of service) free agents, the majority of this list are players who are unrestricted free agents and can sign with any NFL club.
