The Dallas Cowboys' front office has done a sound job of giving new defensive coordinator Christian Parker new pieces to build his vision with.
Rashan Gary, Jalen Thompson, PJ Locke, and Cobie Durant. That is a fine quartet to start with in free agency.
But as we know, more is needed.
Linebacker is still a big need, and you could make the case that corner is as well, if you want more depth.
The other position is pass rush.
Hopes for Gary aside, Dallas doesn't have a top-notch pass-rush specialist in its ranks. That has to change.
Some think the franchise could look that way in the upcoming draft, at either pick No. 12 or No. 20.
While some of Cowboys Nation think that the team is done adding players, it is worth noting that player acquisition is a 365-day-a-year business. Also, let's not forget that George Pickens was a post-Draft pickup.
So, when it comes to a pass rusher, who could Dallas look at?
CBS Sports' Garrett Podell thinks Joey Bosa could be a fit.
"Joey Bosa is not the same player he was in the late 2010s because of injuries, but Pro Football Focus graded him as the 10th-best edge defender with an 85.5 pass-rush grade in 2025," Podell wrote. "Bosa could help stabilize any team's pass rush, and he led the NFL with five forced fumbles."
Would Bosa be seen as a "final piece'' or a risky signing? Possibly both.
Last year for the Buffalo Bills, Bosa played 15 games, posted 5.0 sacks, five forced fumbles, 16 quarterback hits, and nine tackles for loss.
In the last four seasons, he has played more than 10 games just twice. So we aren't sure if the Cowboys would want to be banking on Bosa's health holding up.
He signed a one-year, $12.6 million deal with Buffalo last season, according to Spotrac.com, his market value is at $13.7 million APY.
The Cowboys wouldn't offer that sort of money, but a one-year, $10 million deal for a pass rush specialist isn't a bad idea.
There are reports linking Bosa with his brother, Nick, in San Francisco, so the family ties might be too strong for Dallas to overcome.
But surely it's worth a phone call, right?
