Dallas Cowboys Sign Offensive Lineman Hakeem Adeniji for 2025 Season

The Dallas Cowboys have signed offensive lineman Hakeem Adeniji, a versatile player with starting experience at both guard and tackle, as part of their off-season effort to strengthen their offensive line depth. Adeniji, a former Cincinnati Bengal and Super Bowl starter, most recently spent time with the Cleveland Browns but missed the 2024 season due to a knee injury. This signing marks the Cowboys' third addition to their offensive line this offseason, following the acquisitions of Robert Jones and Saahdiq Charles, and sets up open competition for the right guard position vacated by Zack Martin. The Cowboys' focus on adding veteran linemen with starting resumes reflects a move toward a more physical, power-oriented approach under the new coaching staff. While players like TJ Bass and Brock Hoffman remain in contention for starting roles, the influx of experienced newcomers signals a shift in strategy and increased competition across the line. These moves may also impact the team's draft priorities as they reassess the need to select an offensive lineman early.
