Yet, a unique situation is developing around the NFL, and Dallas could be impacted.<\/p>\n<p>Much has been made about Micah Parsons\u2019 future in Big D, and the situation does not appear any closer to a possible resolution. Now, the Cowboys may need to monitor another player who has yet to suit up for Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>Many second-round picks are in a standoff with NFL teams over potential guaranteed money in their rookie deals. Rookie pass rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku, one of these second-round selections, has yet to sign his contract with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>The Dallas Morning News\u2019 Joseph Hoyt referenced ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter\u2019s report on Los Angeles Chargers wideout Tre Harris remaining unsigned and added that Ezeiuaku\u2019s situation is worth monitoring as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA situation to potentially monitor with Cowboys second round DE Donovan Ezeiruaku, as well,\u201d Hoyt explained in a July 12, 2025, message on X. \u201cOther second round picks want fully guaranteed deals, too, after the Browns and Texans set new precedents with LB Carson Schwesinger and Jayden Higgins. Many remain unsigned.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The NFL Is in Danger of Seeing a Massive Amount of Holdouts From Second-Round Picks<\/h2>\n<p>For context, Schefter reported that \u201can inordinate amount of second-round picks\u201d may not show up for the start of training camp.
