Dallas enters upcoming OTAs with a relatively stable environment and a clearer projected depth chart. Several players are positioned to take major steps in 2026 and contribute on both sides of the ball. Ryan Flournoy is expected to benefit from Jalen Tolbert leaving, moving into a clear No. 3 receiver role behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Flournoy produced 40 catches for 475 yards and four touchdowns last season, and he is projected to double those numbers with favorable matchups. On defense, Donovan Ezeiruaku is viewed as having a prime opportunity to become the next sack leader if Clowney is not re-signed, following Micah Parsons and Clowney’s prior team-leading roles.

"On the defensive side of the ball, a guy that will not have a better opportunity than this season is Donovan Ezeiruaku. For the third year in a row, unless they re-sign Clowney, they are going to have a new sack leader on the team. Micah Parsons led the team before last year, since he was drafted in 2021, Clowney led the team last year, and now with him on the verge of being unsigned, Dallas is going to have another team leader. Ezeiruaku showed plenty of promise over 17 games last season. He notched two sacks and 3"
