Cowboys news: More moves that Dallas could make this offseason

Published

Cowboys news: More moves that Dallas could make this offseason


1. Dorance Armstrong Jr., EDGE, Commanders

This one makes too much sense to me to not talk about.

Dorance Armstrong is a player the Commanders could cut ties with to save some cap space. For Dallas, this would not be some mystery evaluation because the Cowboys know exactly who Armstrong is.

They drafted him, and watched him grow into a dependable pass rusher.

Advertisement

I’m not saying Dorance Armstrong is some game-wrecking superstar, but he’s an edge defender who can give good snaps, set the edge, chase quarterbacks, and fit into a rotation without needing the whole defense built around him.

The NFC East part gives it extra spice, too. Bringing back a former Cowboy from Washington would get some attention, but the football part is what sells it. Dallas needs waves of pressure and Armstrong brings another wave.

2. Uchenna Nwosu, EDGE/LB, Seahawks

Uchenna Nwosu is the kind of name that doesn’t scream headline, but fits the job description.

Seattle’s roster lists Nwosu as a linebacker, and shows him at 6’2, 265 pounds with nine years of experience. He is credited with seven sacks during the Seahawks’ 2025 season.

Advertisement

That’s the kind of veteran pass rusher I would love to see Dallas pick up if the money doesn’t get weird.

Nwosu isn’t a luxury piece, but he is insurance. He’s the type of player I feel would keep the Cowboys from putting too much stress on the same pass rushers every week.

You can never have enough guys who can heat up the pocket, especially in a conference where every playoff road seems to run through quarterbacks who can make you pay if they get comfortable.

Vigil honors victims of Dallas apartment explosion that killed three and injured five

Vigil honors victims of Dallas apartment explosion that killed three and injured five


More than 100 people gathered Friday night at a high school near the sealed‑off blast zone to honor the victims of the deadly explosion at The Clyde apartments in Oak Cliff

The vigil – filled with hymns, prayers, and candles – brought together neighbors, local leaders, and pastors, many of whom were personally connected to those who died.

Just down the street, the debris field marks where three people were killed and five others injured when an explosion and fire tore through the complex earlier in the day.

Remembering Sylvia Collins

Among those honored was Sylvia Collins, a Democratic Party precinct chair known for her energy, advocacy, and signature raised‑fist rally pose.

State Rep. Cassandra Garcia‑Hernandez reflected on the loss, saying she couldn’t imagine taking another “fist‑up photo” with Collins. 

State Sen. Royce West urged the community to remember Collins by continuing the work she championed.

Authorities have not yet released the names of the other two victims, believed to be a young woman and her toddler.

Search and Recovery Complete, Cause Still Unknown

Dallas Fire‑Rescue Chief Justin Ball confirmed that the search and recovery phase is complete, though he declined to comment on whether construction crews digging near the property may have struck a natural gas line before the blast.

Ball also defended the actions of firefighters who were on scene for up to 10 minutes before the explosion without ordering evacuations. He said crews first had to locate the source of the gas odor, secure a water supply, and gear up before they could begin clearing the building.

Lawsuit Filed Against Atmos Energy

One survivor has already filed a lawsuit against Atmos Energy, accusing the utility of failing to properly monitor for gas leaks. Attorney Sadi Antonmattei‑Goitia said incidents like this “don’t happen without bad decisions being made.”

Atmos did not respond to questions about the lawsuit but issued a statement saying the company’s “hearts go out to the people who were tragically lost, their families, and everyone who has been impacted.”
