Here is a look at five players whose 2024 offseason development could make a noticeable difference in Dallas in the upcoming season

At this moment in time, the Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2024 edition of training camp, and in not too long, the regular season as a team in limbo.

The Cowboys didn't re-sign 2023 NFL MVP runner-up quarterback Dak Prescott ($55.5 million cap hit in 2024 in final year of contract, second-highest in NFL behind only Deshaun Watson's $63.8 million) or 2023 First-Team All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb ($17.991 million cap hit in 2024 in final year of contract), which hamstrung their ability to make any significant moves in free agency this offseason.

Without being able to spread two of their biggest cap hits for two of their best players out across multiple seasons down the road, that means Dallas will enter the upcoming season with almost all of their key contributors with one foot out the door in 2024. That's all thanks to not having the ability to address the rest of their roster contractually due to their dillydallying with Prescott and Lamb.

Tyler Smith
Jake Ferguson
Rico Dowdle
DeMarvion Overshown
Sam Williams

I mean, Smith can improve, but he's an All-pro Guard. Not much more to "breakout".


I would of gone with a hopium pick in Osa or even Mazi over Tyler.

Sam Williams is the new Randy Gregory.

Any year now he’s gonna be an All-Pro. Just you watch and see.

If the entire OL can break out. Then the run game can as well. Well, not a break out, like having a 1,000 yard rusher type. But as a group they can do much better than anticipated.

Dowdle could be the guy. I am interested in seeing Nate Peat in PS games.
