2026 Cowboys Free Agency Thread…

Thompson is the perfect example of the kind of guy we could easily go after and who would easily be a pretty big upgrade for us. Not a marquee FA but a guy who could step in as a starter day one.

Unfortunately....you know.

52nd ranked NFL free agent on The Athletics list. Way too rich for the Cowboys. They project him at 4 years and 60 mil.

Do you think he will take a one year 4 mil contract?

52
Jalen Thompson

Contract projection: 4 years, $61 million

Age: 28 Height: 5-11 Weight: 190
Thompson is a rangy free safety with some man coverage ability against running backs, tight ends and receivers. He has the eyes and burst to bait quarterbacks into throws and make plays on the ball. He has not had an interception since 2023, and you would love more recent ball production out of a true centerfield safety. But he is capable of impacting the game in this way. He had eight interceptions from 2021 to ‘23.
 
Is this too rich too? I'm sure

59
Quay Walker

Contract projection: 2 years, $17 million

Age: 26 Height: 6-4 Weight: 240
A first-round pick in 2022, Walker has premium athletic traits, with the speed to carry vertical routes in coverage, particularly as a middle-of-the-field runner in Cover 2. He has good instincts and reactions as an underneath zone defender when he can drive on checkdowns. Overall, though, Walker has not yet lived up to his draft slot.

He is sometimes late to diagnose against the run, which allows interior offensive lineman to climb up to him at the second level. He can get swallowed up as a blitzer — he ranked 35th in pass-rush efficiency among off-ball linebackers with at least 50 pass-rush snaps. The potential is there. When Walker diagnoses against the run and triggers, he can fire downhill and be disruptive in that phase.

I'd be surprised if he gets that much but you never know. I'm thinking he can be had around 10/year.

I don't know why we are so scared to give a multi year deal to a free agent.

But maybe someone our coaches are more familiar with could get the faith of a two year deal or something.

Still looking our wounds from Brandon Carr I guess.

According to Reddit, Javonte Williams is asking for $10 million a year. I'm not sure I'm down with that.

I would give it to him on something like a 2-3 year deal.
