The Dallas Cowboys will be pulling out all the stops in 2025 to get back on track. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer knows that expectations will be high. Prior to 2024 (which injuries completely derailed) Dallas had three straight seasons of 12 wins.
Going into 2025, they’ve added another piece to their roster.
Breaking: Cowboys Get Starter To Un-Retire And Sign For 2025 Season (REPORT)
According to NFL Media, the Dallas Cowboys have signed former Washington Commanders offensive guard Saahdiq Charles. After signing with the Tennessee Titans last August, he retired from the NFL. He is now trying to make a comeback in the league:
Charles reportedly worked out for the Cowboys last week, and apparently did enough for the team to offer him a contract. Charles was selected by Washington in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of LSU, and he was a member of that famous 2020 championship team that featured Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson.
In four seasons with Washington, Charles started in 18 of 35 games played, and took snaps at left tackle, left guard, right guard and right tackle. He spent most of his time at left guard.
Charles signed a one-year deal with the Titans last offseason, and was viewed as the favorite to start at right guard. However, he surprised everyone when he decided to walk away from football prior to the Titans’ first preseason game.
Charles will still have to earn his spot on the Cowboys’ 2025 roster, but he can at the very least add some depth on the interior for the Cowboys — who lost All-Pro right guard Zack Martin to retirement this offseason.
Here is a look at his career numbers:
