DeMarcus Lawrence is 100% healthy and wants to continue his playing career, but whether it's as a Cowboy is up to the team, says agent David Canter.

One of the key decisions coming up this offseason for the Dallas Cowboys is what to do with long-time franchise stalwart edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, who is set to become a free agent in the coming days.

The Cowboys also signed defensive end Solomon Thomas, the former New York Jet. He is a solid pass rusher who seems to be a potential backup or low-end replacement for free agent DeMarcus Lawrence. His signing for two years, $8 million earning a C+ grade emphasizes that.

The Cowboys have a few key players hitting the market, including well-known veterans like DeMarcus Lawrence, Jourdan Lewis and Rico Dowdle. Dallas has also re-signed some playmakers, mainly defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa. The team also still has another weapon to extend in pass rusher Micah Parsons.

After a 7-10 finish, the Dallas Cowboys have a long list of players hitting the market in a few weeks. In this series, we’ll offer a breakdown of the Cowboys’ upcoming free agents and why they may or may not continue their playing careers in Dallas. Our series continues with what could be the end for a stalwart of the Cowboys defense.

So how much would Cowboys stalwart DeMarcus Lawrence cost on the open market should he indeed hit free agency?

"The Cowboys have agreed to a one-year deal with DE Payton Turner, a former first-round pick of the Saints in 2021, according to sources," Archer said on X. "Injuries hurt his development, but he had two sacks, four pass deflections and two forced fumbles in 16 games last year."

The signing of center Drew Dalman addresses a major need but before the Bears even think about any other position at No. 10 they need edge rush help.

Rival Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons had a strong reaction after one of the New York Giants' initial signings in NFL free agency.
