These 49 Cowboys players are under contract for 2023 with these terms
The Dallas Cowboys have work to do to compile their coaching staff, but as soon as they complete that, the sole focus of the front office will be planning who will be a part of their attempt to end the drought. Dallas, like the rest of the NFL, has to contemplate what pieces they need to add through free agency and the draft, but also assess what assets they have in house.
Things are all related. Dallas has to figure out if any of the pieces they have under contract need to be swapped out for cap space, place hold or be built around. With a hat tip to OverTheCap for the details, here’s a look at every player Dallas has under contract for 2023.
