Stephen Jones Says Cowboys Are 'Not Done Yet' in 2025 NFL Free Agency

The Dallas Cowboys have made small moves in free agency to improve their roster this offseason, and executive vice president Stephen Jones told reporters on Sunday that the team has even more in store.

"We’re not done yet," Jones said, per The Athletic's Jon Machota. "We still got some things that are out standing that we’re trying to get done. Missed a few guys along the way, too, in terms of the number just being a lot higher than we thought it would be on a couple guys. Overall, we’re real pleased with what we were able to do with our roster and help the team."

The Cowboys retained some of their key players like defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, safety Markquese Bell and kick returner KaVontae Turpin. They also acquired veteran linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. from the Tennessee Titans and cornerback Kaiir Elam from the Buffalo Bills. However, Dallas has yet to make a splashy addition from the open market.

Most of the Cowboys' free-agency signings have been one- and two-year deals for depth players. Dallas added veterans like running back Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams, wide receiver Parris Campbell, edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. and defensive tackle Solomon Thomas. Still, this offseason is eerily similar to last year, when the team fell short of signing any big-name free agents.

The failure to add talent played a major part in the Cowboys finishing with a disappointing 7-10 record in 2024. Dallas will have the No. 12 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, and B/R's NFL Scouting Department predicted in a recent mock draft that the team would use it to select Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden.

In addition to their free-agency pursuits, the Cowboys are also expected to sign star edge rusher Micah Parsons to a massive contract extension this offseason. Per ESPN's Todd Archer, Jones said that talks with Parsons' camp are in the early stages, but he "feels good" about the direction of the discussions.

It appears that the Cowboys are motivated to make the right moves so they can bounce back and contend for a playoff spot in 2025.
