Dallas Cowboys to be 'selectively aggressive' in free agency

INDIANAPOLIS -- If last year's theme for the Dallas Cowboys was, "all in," then the leader in 2025 is "selectively aggressive."

While the "all in" definition used by owner and general manager Jerry Jones might have differed from conventional wisdom in terms of how the Cowboys put together their roster last season, the "selectively aggressive" moniker used Monday at the NFL scouting combine by executive vice president Stephen Jones goes back to how the Cowboys used to handle free agency before 2024.

"Obviously, our goals historically have been to try to fill as many of our musts and needs before the draft so you can pick the best player on your board," Stephen Jones said.
