FRISCO, Texas -- Free agency isn't even officially a week old, but it feels like the 2023 NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys have been left behind.
Left tackle Tyron Smith has agreed to join the New York Jets. Center Tyler Biadasz and defensive ends Dorance Armstrong have decided to follow former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to the Washington Commanders. Their leading rusher the past two years, Tony Pollard, is now with the Tennessee Titans. The Cowboys released linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, who is expected to retire, and wide receiver Michael Gallup.
