Cowboys Sign OL Saahdiq Charles Amid Roster Changes

The Dallas Cowboys have signed Saahdiq Charles, a 25-year-old offensive lineman, to a one-year contract as part of their efforts to bolster their offensive line. Originally a fourth-round pick in 2020 by the Washington Commanders, Charles retired briefly after signing with the Tennessee Titans in 2024 but recently decided to return to the NFL. Despite signing Charles, the Cowboys' draft strategy remains focused on addressing their needs at right guard and left tackle, positions left open by recent changes in their lineup, including the retirement of Zack Martin and Tyron Smith's departure. The acquisition of Charles is seen as a low-risk move aimed at increasing competition and depth on their roster, reflecting the new coaching staff's emphasis on physicality and accountability. Charles will have to prove his commitment and fire for the game, given his previous retirement decision, as his spot on the final 53-man roster is not guaranteed.
