The Dallas Cowboys will have some big decisions to make this offseason, including with a few key names, that are set to become free agents for 2026.
Here is a look at which players are free agents heading into the spring.
Unrestricted Free Agents
UFA are free to sign anywhere.

Restricted Free Agents
A player with three accrued seasons and an expired contract. RFAs are free to negotiate and sign with any team, but their original team can offer them one of various qualifying offers (“tenders”) that come with the Right of First Refusal and/or draft-pick compensation. If the tender is withdrawn by a team, the RFA becomes an unrestricted free agent. Teams must submit these tenders before the start of the 2025 League Year (4 p.m. ET on March 12). These amounts change annually but the following numbers are for the 2025 season (players can choose either (a) or (b) regardless of which is greater in the applicable tenders below).
- S Juanyeh Thomas
- G T.J. Bass
- K Brandon Aubrey
Exclusive Rights Free Agents
Any player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), the player cannot negotiate with other teams.
- CB Josh Butler
- CB Reddy Steward
