The Dallas Cowboys haven't made a league-altering signing during the 2026 free agency period, but they'll have the chance to make a significant splash at the NFL Draft.
Despite being linked to pass rushers like Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson, the Cowboys opted to use their money on safety Jalen Thompson (three-year, $33 million deal) and cornerback Cobie Durant (one-year, $5.5 million deal). They also added depth to their offense by acquiring backup quarterback Sm Howell and offensive lineman Matt Hennessy.
While the Cowboys have plenty of time to make a few more signings, their fans have shifted their focus over to the draft. Jerry Jones currently owns the No. 12 and No. 20 overall picks in the first round.

According to NFL analyst Ryan Fowler, the Cowboys will host LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane on a top-30 visit.
After hearing this news, Dallas fans made it clear they want Delane to be available when the Cowboys are on the clock with the 12th pick.
"Cowboys need a possible shutdown cornerback," one fan said. "I know Mo Claiborne didn't pan out from my LSU Tigers, but this kid just may."
"Always depends on who is available. But Delane is worthy of the 12th pick. Solid corner," a second Cowboys fan commented.
"Mansoor Delane would literally shift the Cowboys franchise to a positive direction," a social media user declared.
Mansoor Delane is the perfect fit for Dallas.
The Cowboys hired former Philadelphia Eagles secondary coach and passing game coordinator Christian Parker as their defensive coordinator this offseason. We've already seen him have success with young cornerbacks such as Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell.
Delane was an All-American for LSU during the 2025 season, racking up 45 tackles, 11 pass break-ups and two interceptions. He certainly has the talent to thrive in the NFL.
If Delane is available when the Cowboys are on the clock, we wouldn't be surprised if they quickly turn in their card.
