Which Cowboys jersey numbers are available? The pre-draft 90-man roster

The Dallas Cowboys seem to be finished with the lion's share of their free agency acquisitions. There are still holes to fill, and perhaps they'll grab a guy or two before the 2026 NFL Draft, but for now they are presenting as being okay with the remaining holes being filled in late April and early May. The 2025 defense was so atrocious, even after all of the additions they could still use starting quality play at all three levels.

But that's a story for another day. This is your chance to get familiar with the Cowboys' roster as it stands. Below is an accounting of their offseason brigade, sorted by jersey numbers. These will change, and several of the offseason additions have yet to be assigned numbers, or at least had them revealed publicly.

The Cowboys do have some jersey numbers which are off limits, though they don't officially retire jerseys in Dallas, they haven't re-assigned these since the last star wore them.
