For the Dallas Cowboys, all of their big hitters are taking the headlines this offseason, and rightly so.
George Pickens and Brandon Aubrey have taken center stage.
But so too has the need to revamp the defense for Christian Parker.
Given how poor the defense was under Matt Eberflus, there is a real need to invest heavily in free agency and the draft to fix one of the worst defenses in football.
But that isn't all of the roster holes that the front office has to fix.
Yes, that is the majority of them, but don't think for a second that the offense is "fine" heading into 2026.
Of course, the core pieces and starters are there, but that doesn't mean the futures of some are certain.
One player is right tackle Terence Steele, who had his troubles last season and the year before. With the Cowboys, if they were to cut Steele post June 1 to save $14 million in cap space, it appears the franchise wants to work things through with Steele.
But that's not all.
Left tackle Tyler Guyton is in need of a big offseason, having played just 10 games last season, with mixed results.
And it is because of this, that Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine thinks the Cowboys should look to fortify both tackles this offseason.
"Reliable tackles," Ballentine wrote. "Terence Steele was third in the league with 52 blown blocks and Tyler Guyton has had his struggles over his first two seasons. Cap constraints and a bad defense might force Dallas to settle for a Day 3 pick or veteran flier like Jonah Williams to compete."
With Brock Hoffman set to hit the free agency market, the Cowboys will likely lose a lineman who can play all three interior roles, which is another area of need.
But as far as tackles, would Dak Prescott-led Dallas be better served going to the draft, where it already has precious few picks to sort it out?
Or maybe a veteran option on the cheap side is what the Cowboys could do? After all, there are bigger needs that the franchise has to address.
But getting another dependable swing tackle could be on the menu for the Cowboys when free agency begins on Monday with the "legal tampering period.''
