Cowboys NFL Free Agency Predictions: 4 Players to Help Dallas Get Back into Playoffs
- The Cowboys are roughly $30M over the cap but have two first‑round picks (No. 12 and No. 20), so this offseason will be a tense mix of cap juggling and roster improvement.
- FOX’s Greg Auman predicts Dallas could land four free agents — including the top available player, WR George Pickens, who broke out in 2025 and might be franchise‑tagged or traded because he’ll command huge money.
- Other likely short‑term fixes Auman names: veteran edge rusher Clowney, productive linebacker Bush, and a reclamation cornerback Samuel — quick veteran depth to help a struggling defense.

Could William Byron 3-Peat at Daytona 500?: 'I Hope So'
- William Byron is going for an unprecedented third straight Daytona 500 — no driver in the race’s 67-year history has won three in a row.
- Byron says the 500 is wildly unpredictable (he won from ninth after a last-lap crash in 2024) and he'll focus on smart drafting, even pushing teammates forward if that’s the best move.
- Off the track he’s low-key about his wins — his two Daytona trophies are tucked away in a room, not displayed as a shrine.

- Byron says there’s no secret sauce: he focuses on learning the draft, making smart decisions and will even push a teammate if that’s the best move.
- Despite two 500 trophies and 16 wins, he stays humble — keeps his big trophies tucked away rather than on a shrine.
