Bookmark this, as it'll be updated often. Hello, 2020.Key upcoming datesThere are a slew of dates you'll need to circle on your calendar as you keep track of the Cowboys this offseason, and some won't be Antoine Roussel Kids Jersey determined for quite some time -- such as OTAs, mini-camp and training camp -- especially while a new CBA floats overhead. For now, however, most of them are already known and worth noting. It's also key to note things remain fluid during the coronavirus pandemic, with the NFL having already canceled it's Annual Meeting.

They are not, however, permitted any other changes in their offseason schedule, as required by the league.The NFL will also reportedly make a major change to the 2020 draft. . Free Agent ScorecardHere's where the rubber truly meets the road for the Cowboys.They enter the offseason with a list of 30 (!!) in-house free agents they must attend to before and while also surveying the landscape outside of Dallas to see who deserves an offer to join the team in 2020. The longer it takes to get a deal done on Prescott, the more challenging that becomes, though. With the team currently more cash-rich than they've been since the inception of the current expiring CBA, the Cowboys could flip a few switches and have upwards of $100 million in cap space, but just because they can afford to pay their cornerstone guys and still have huge chunks of pie left over doesn't mean they want to.As such, they'll continue to follow their usually frugal approach to "outside" free agency with an eye on retaining as many key players as they can in their given financial blueprint -- i.e., pay based on value a se sments and not how much money is on the table -- and then lean on their mostly solid draft-building ability to take care of the rest.Without further adieu, here are the players entering free agency in 2020, and their respective designations. Exclusive rights free agents - iDL: Woods proved himself a starter in 2018, but battled injury in 2019 and has a looming off-the-field case pending that could lead to Radek Faksa Men Jersey his first NFL suspension. The team wants him around and there's nothing to indicate he won't be -- especially as an EFRA with no ability to move left or right in free agency. As a player with le s than three accrued seasons, Woods can't negotiate with other teams unle s the Cowboys fail to tender him -- at minimal cost. - OL:A backup offensive lineman the Cowboys will only retain if they feel they can't do better than keeping on a player who has zero starts and didn't play a game in 2019, with half of last season being spent on injured reserve and the other half having been healthy but never activated to the 46-man game day roster. Still, the Cowboys see potential in him. Restricted free agentsUnlike Woods, the following four players have accrued greater than three years but not yet four, and the latter would qualify them for unrestricted free agency in 2020. Instead, while they are allowed to negotiate with other clubs, each can be a signed a respective tender -- first-round, second-round, original-round -- or the Brian Flynn Jersey Right of First Refusal to give the Cowboys a chance at receiving compensation in the event they decide against matching another team's offer.The caveat lies in the original-round tender and the Right of First Refusal, because if a player went undrafted there is no compensation by default, making them basically one in the same. The Cowboys must be strategic in how they label each, because the higher the tender, the higher the salary if the player is retained. (ex: the second-round tender on in 2018) Blake Jarwin - TE: Jarwin proved himself a playmaker in Dallas, and there's no reason they walk away from his athleticism and ability to rack up yards after the catch. An undrafted free agent who signed a three-year deal in 2017, the Cowboys like Jarwin a lot, and there are no plans to let him walk. If anything, he's the reason Jason Witten finds himself finally on the outs. The current plan is to hold onto Jarwin and unleash him with a c
