Owner Jerry Jones and coach Jason Garrett said they expect Doug Free to return to the Cowboys this season.
A report last week said the right tackle was considering retirement.
“I do not know of any talk of retirement in regards to Doug Free,” Garrett said. “We had a good visit after the season. He, like all the players, they wanted to get away for a little while, then get themselves recharged and come back to work. I don’t anticipate anything other than that.”
Free, 33, enters the final year of his contract, which will pay him a $5 million base salary and count $7.
