Ryan Flournoy

#80

WR

• Height: 6-1
• Weight: 200 lbs
• College: Southeast Missouri State

10 a.m. -With the annual addition of players via free agency and the NFL Draft comes the shifting of jersey numbers, and that often includes current players on the roster making the decision to go in a new direction with their own number for the coming season.

Ryan Flournoy is one such player, joining a handful of Cowboys playerswho will don a new number for 2025.

The second-year wide receiver announced he will move from No. 80, worn during his rookie campaign, to No. 19, the latter having been worn by quarterback Trey Lance prior to now; and the No. 80 being acquired by newly-signed wide receiver Parris Campbell.

Flournoy looks to make a bigger impact for the Cowboys in Year 2, and in a number that would harken back to when Amari Cooper broke games wide open while wearing it in Dallas.

Dante Fowler Jr.

#3

DE

• Height: 6-3
• Weight: 261 lbs
• College: Florida

11:30 a.m. -Dante Fowler has always had a chip on his shoulder, but it's likely never been as big as the one he's carrying in 2025.

Having departed the Cowboys in 2024 free agency en route to delivering a career-best, 10.5-sack season for Dan Quinn and the Washington Commanders, Fowler still felt "disrespected" once this year's free agency rolled around in the nation's capital.

It led him to return to the Cowboys to become an impact piece for newly-named defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, who himself is returning to Dallas, and it sounds as if Fowler is ready to put the entire NFL on notice.

"I love football, so I play this game to play football," he said. "Whatever team I'm playing for at that time is what I'm playing for. ... I kinda put it all together last year, but it still didn't work out. It hurts, but it is what it is. It's football and I'm a football player. I play football for the Dallas Cowboys now, so I'm going to go out there and leave my all on the line for the Dallas Cowboys, and keep proving I'm not one-dimensional."

Miles Sanders

#27

RB

• Height: 5-11
• Weight: 211 lbs
• College: Penn State

1 p.m. -Once upon a time, Miles Sanders was in a Philadelphia Eagles' uniform preparing to take on the Dallas Cowboys, and on more than one occasion.

Fast forward to 2025, however, and the former Pro Bowl running back will be doing the exact opposite after having signed with the Cowboys and, eventually, suiting up to take on his former team that wears Kelly Green.

As for why Sanders made the decision to head to Dallas, it was a simple choice, as he explains it.

"I feel like I made the right decision," he said. "This is a fit for me, and I like what coach [Brian Schottenheimer] is doing as far as identity. I came from stuff like that. I'm just ready to ball out and contribute to the team."

Javonte Williams

#33

RB

• Height: 5-10
• Weight: 220 lbs
• College: North Carolina

3:00 p.m. -Three years after suffering a devastating knee injury that severely damaged several of his ligaments, new Cowboys running back Javonte Williams has played in 33 games since and comes to Dallas feeling healthy and ready for a fresh start.

"I feel pretty good, pretty fresh," Williams said. "Just working out, staying in shape, and getting ready for OTAs."

Williams has run for a combined 1,287 yards and seven touchdowns in the two seasons since, and is looking to get back to playing a similar level from his rookie year, where he tallied 1,219 yards from scrimmage and seven offensive touchdowns.

Williams and former Carolina Panther Miles Sanders are the two free agent backs that Dallas has signed to the roster in free agency, with another likely to be added via the NFL Draft in April.
