Dallas Cowboys Free Agents 2023

Last Updated: July 1, 2023
They’re in the hunt for their first Super Bowl in 27 years, but what about the upcoming offseason? Check out the full list of Cowboys free agents for 2023.

The 2022 NFL season has been an odd one for several reasons, but perhaps no footballing phenomenon has been more perplexing in a good way than the NFC East division. The Philadelphia Eagles set the pace as the league’s last unbeaten thanks to an 8-0 start, but the Dallas Cowboys managed to keep an impressive pace just behind Philly despite losing star QB Dak Prescott for several weeks in the earlier stages of the campaign.

That sort of tenacity is the stuff playoff runs are made on, but no matter what becomes of Mike McCarthy and Big D in the postseason, the priority always shifts to keeping core pieces together, building up a roster even bigger and better to mount another compelling run for the next several years to come.

So, what does the upcoming offseason look like for this team? Let’s take a closer look at the full list of 2023 Dallas Cowboys free agents.
