Free Agency Day 1: Cowboys lose 3 players to open market
FRISCO, Texas — The first day of the legal tampering period saw the Dallas Cowboys stand pat as they head into the new league year needing more financial flexibility to compete in the free agent market.
Day one saw big names come off the board around the NFL including the Cowboys losing two starters on the offensive side of the ball to other teams and the team’s second-leading sack-getter from 2023 to a division rival.
Here are the storylines from the first day of action.
- Running back Tony Pollard will wear a different jersey for the first time in his NFL career as the Tennessee Titans agreed on a three-year/$24 million deal with the former Cowboys offensive weapon on Monday morning. Pollard heads back to his home-state where he played high school and college ball in Memphis. Now, he replaces Derrick Henry in a backfield that also features second-year running back Tyjae Spears. Reports said that the deal exceeded offers from the Cowboys, Giants and Vikings.
- Defensive lineman Dorance Armstrong saw his final two seasons in Dallas boost his value in the open market as he proved himself as a solid pass rusher with elite special teams ability since being drafted by the Cowboys in 2018. Now, he will follow Dan Quinn to the Washington Commanders on a deal that will see him make $45 million over three years as a featured pass-rusher for the Cowboys’ NFC East rivals.
- Armstrong wasn’t the only one to follow Quinn, as center Tyler Biadasz became one of the first centers off the board in a bustling market at the position when he agreed on a three-year/$30 million deal with the Commanders to fortify the middle of their offensive line moving forward.
- Elsewhere in the division, the Philadelphia Eagles landed running back Saquon Barkley and edge rusher Bryce Huff to build on both sides of the ball. The New York Giants, after officially losing Barkley, signed running back Devin Singletary after a productive season with the Houston Texans.
- The Green Bay Packers – after shockingly landing running back Josh Jacobs – released Aaron Jones on Monday afternoon, as he adds to a still robust market for free agent running backs around the league.
Cowboys free agents that remain without a deal in place include cornerback Stephon Gilmore, offensive tackle Tyron Smith, defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and more.
Note: All deals agreed upon cannot become official or signed until the opening of the league year on Wednesday.

After deadly crash, loved one questions suspect’s actions at scene
New arrest documents show an alleged drunk driver tried to flee the scene after a crash that killed two men in Dallas early Sunday morning.
Dallas police arrested 22-year-old Isaac Chacon and charged him with two counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of collision involving death. Investigators say he collided with another vehicle at Military Parkway and North Jim Miller Road just before 2 a.m.
One man died at the scene. Another died after being taken to a nearby hospital.
“I don’t think somebody should have lost their life for the price of an Uber. Just don’t drink and drive,” Monique Dawson said.
Dawson’s boyfriend, Orinthius Deante Brown, was one of the victims. She said they had been together for more than a decade.
A day after his death, Dawson reflected on their last conversation and one she wished they had.
“If you love somebody, talk to them because you never know when it’s going to be the last time. When I woke up Sunday morning, I had a couple of missed calls from him, and I just brushed it off like, I’ll just talk to him later. We’re gonna spend all day together. I don’t know if I’d be on the phone with him all day. I’m busy cooking and tired. I’m gonna talk to him next time, and it’s never going to be a next time. It’s never gonna be a next time, that’s it,” she said.
Dawson said Brown was a father of three who often helped others.
According to an arrest affidavit, Chacon tried to flee immediately after the crash, but witnesses detained him until police arrived.
“What if instead of trying to run away, he ran toward the people he hit and tried to help?” Dawson said.
Dawson said anything less than life behind bars would not provide justice for the victims’ loved ones.
“That was my person, and now he’s gone,” she said.

What we learned in FC Dallas’ win vs DC United
FC Dallas didn’t just win on Saturday night in the nation’s capital, they controlled the match from start to finish.
In a 4-0 road victory over D.C. United, Dallas delivered one of their most complete performances of the season. They paired clinical finishing with a much-needed defensive response after giving up six goals in the previous two games. This match was a clear reset for the club. They were organized in the back, dangerous in transition, and absolutely ruthless in front of the goal.
Let’s dive into some of the key aspects of this shutout win.
Road performance for the ages
Let’s get to the fun stat from this one, curiosity of the club’s media/PR team. This victory was the second-largest road win in club history. The club’s only larger road win came on Aug. 16, 2014, when Dallas won 5-0 at the San Jose Earthquakes.
Just as we saw two weeks ago against Houston, Dallas came out with strong energy, good momentum and a classy touch from Logan Farrington before his fourth goal of the season.
At the end of things, it could have easily been a five or six goal outing. After five games of just Petar Musa and Farrington finding the back of the net for Dallas, we can now add some other names to the mix on the season. For me, that was a big sign of progression out of this group. Yes, Musa and Farrington continued to score, but so did some other players.
Seeing how this group closed out this game is also a big point of emphasis. No slip ups. No foot off the gas pedal. Just a full push from start to finish.
“The five subs really came on and changed the game for the better, which is what we asked for them to do. And it’s a beautiful performance. Some great spells of football that I just think we’re growing and I love where we’re heading, but I’m proud of the complete team, defending set pieces, attacking set pieces, transitions, everything was honest with us tonight, and they deserve this four goal win.” – Manager Eric Quill
Take note of the momentum bar there in the middle of that graphic, aside from three-ish spots, FC Dallas dominated this game from start to finish.
