Dallas Cowboys Offseason Roster Bubble: Key Players at Risk
In the wake of an eventful 2024 season, the Dallas Cowboys are facing tough decisions as they prepare for the upcoming offseason. Three key players find themselves on the roster bubble, potentially facing cutbacks or restructured contracts.
Terence Steele and the Offensive Line
The team’s starting right tackle, Terence Steele, is one of the players under scrutiny. With his contract set to expire, the Cowboys will have to reassess their offensive line depth in preparation for 2025. Steele’s performance has been inconsistent over the past year, leading to questions about his future with the team.
KaVontae Turpin: The Blitzer’s Future
Former All-Pro return specialist KaVontae Turpin also finds himself in a precarious position. Known for his explosive returns and blitzing prowess, Turpin’s effectiveness has waned significantly since his injury. His ability to contribute on the field will be crucial as the Cowboys look to revamp their defense.
DeMarvion Overshown: A Return with Questions
Perhaps most notably, DeMarvion Overshown is returning from a serious injury that ended his 2024 season prematurely. While he has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, his return and impact have been limited so far this season. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus will need to rethink his defensive strategy to maximize Overshown’s potential.
According to @SkywalkerSteele, since returning from injury in November, Overshown has only blitzed twice, compared to 51 times in the previous year. His contributions on the field have been minimal:

Offseason Decisions and Playoff Implications
The decisions made during the offseason will not only impact the team’s roster but also their chances of making the NFL Playoffs. With an outside shot to overtake the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East, every move counts. The Cowboys still have a favorable schedule over the final month, but they must take care of business.
As the team looks ahead, the performances and contributions of these key players will be crucial in shaping their future. Fans and analysts alike are closely watching to see how these decisions unfold and what impact they might have on the upcoming season.
