Dallas Cowboys Working Out Former New York Jets Defensive End
Many teams around the NFL are still looking to add free agents with the season right around the corner. Most of the top-end free agents have already been signed, but some potential impact players are still on the market. The New York Jets are one of the teams that could look to land some of those players.
It’s uncertain if Joe Douglas plans on adding more, but if he feels that the Jets need to make another addition, they have the resources to do so.
One former New York player, Carl Lawson, is working out for a different team. According to Todd Archer of ESPN, Lawson is working out for the Dallas Cowboys.
“The Cowboys are working out some pass rushers Thursday in the wake of Sam Williams knee injury, including veteran Carl Lawson, who played in Cincinnati for Mike Zimmer, according to a source.”
Unlike the Jets, the Cowboys had one of the quietest offseasons in the NFL. In fact, many around the NFL believe that it was one of the worst in the league. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, similar to New York, there was much more that could’ve and should’ve been done.
Adding Lawson doesn’t necessarily help with that, but there was a point in his career where he was an above-average player. In the 2022 season, he posted seven sacks and 33 combined tackles, playing in 17 games.
Lawson, who played the last two years with the Jets on a three-year, $45 million deal in the 2021 offseason, tore his Achilles in August of 2021 and missed his first year with the team.
After impressing during the 2022 campaign, he didn’t see much action in 2023 due to a back injury limiting his time. He played in just six games, finishing with five tackles and zero sacks.
He’s the type of player who could’ve made an impact for New York, but with how elite their defense is and not having a place to play, it made sense why they decided not to bring him back.
If the 29-year-old can stay on the field, there’s a chance that he could have another productive year. Unfortunately, he hasn’t proven to be able to do so throughout two of the past three seasons, which is certainly a worry. Hopefully, for his sake, he’ll get another chance with a team like Dallas and have a chance to compete for a Super Bowl and get playing time.

The search for the next general manager or president of basketball operations of the Dallas Mavericks has begun. They terminated Nico Harrison in November, which was about nine months too late, and gave any available candidates clear notice that they were open for business.
The plan was always to wait until after the season to start the search. While names popped up as the season reached an end, they didn’t begin turning over the staff until the Monday after the season ended. However, Dallas Mavericks fans are not going to like how the team is going about the search.
Patrick Dumont Leading Search for General Manager
NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the Mavericks are not hiring a search firm in their hunt for a new lead executive. Instead, team governor Patrick Dumont is “acting as his own point person.”
This is an… interesting decision, to say the least. Dumont is not a basketball person whatsoever, and most organizations usually hire a search firm. The Chicago Bulls hired one as they look for their replacement for Arturas Karnisovas. Just because a firm is hired doesn’t mean a team will listen, though.
The Mavericks hired a firm in their last search for a GM. They let Donnie Nelson go in 2021 after a long tenure with the Mavs. Instead of listening to the firm, though, Mark Cuban ignored it to hire Nico Harrison, who had no previous NBA front office experience. Harrison had been an executive with Nike, which gave him connections with players like Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and plenty of others.
For a while, that seemed to be working out okay. While he still had some questionable transactions, such as trading for Christian Wood and letting Jalen Brunson walk in free agency, they were still able to make a run to the NBA Finals in 2024. Then, he blew it all up, trading away Luka Doncic for an older and injured Anthony Davis, and the team hasn’t been the same since.
It’s imperative that the Mavericks get this hire correct. The interim Co-GM setup with Matt Riccardi and Michael Finley has performed admirably, but the 2026 NBA Draft is important for the Mavs to get right. It’s their best chance to pair Cooper Flagg with another young star, as they don’t own their first-round pick again until 2031 after this.
Hiring the right GM could help bring in more draft capital by bringing in bad contracts or flipping veterans into picks.
Dumont was able to convince Rick Welts, a Hall of Famer, to come out of retirement to be the CEO and lead the charge for a new arena. Maybe Dumont pulls another rabbit out of his hat for the GM.
