NFL Free Agency: Several Cowboys on the Move this Offseason

With NFL camps getting underway over the last week, I thought it would be a good time to check in on some Oklahoma State alums who were on the move this offseason. Let’s take a look at where they landed starting with the latest Cowboy to ink a deal.

Tre Flowers | Chicago Bears

The OSU safety-turned-NFL cornerback landed with his sixth team this week. Tre Flowers inked a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears worth $1.255 million according to Spotrac.

The former Seattle Seahawks draft pick has bounced around a bit over the last few years, but Bears coaches hope Flowers will provide some depth heading into the season with cornerback Jaylon Johnson dealing with a leg injury.

Chicago’s training camp kicked off this week at Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Illinois.

Mason Rudolph | Pittsburgh Steelers

The former Cowboy record-setter signed a two-year, $8 million deal to return to the team that drafted him. After a year with the hapless Titans in Tennessee, Rudolph will return to the Steel City where he spent the first four years of his pro career.

That news was quickly dampened when the Steelers won the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes. But according to early news out of the Steelers camp, the 30-year-old doesn’t look ready to bow out to the future hall of famer that’s 11 years his senior.

Teven Jenkins | Cleveland Browns

After four injury-riddled seasons in Chicago, Jenkins will get a fresh start in Cleveland, albeit at a reduced paycheck. Jenkins signed a one-year deal with the Browns worth just over $3 million with $2.67 million guaranteed.

Thanks to a slew of injuries, Jenkins appeared in only 45 games in four seasons and many of those were in limited action. Had he not missed so much time, he’d have demanded a lot more in free agency. Or he might have found a long-term home in the Windy City.

Jenkins’ skillset is undeniable, but as the old adage goes, the best ability is availability. If he can stay healthy and get a fresh start in Cleveland, he’ll have a chance to rebuild his stock going into 2026.

Emmanuel Ogbah | Jacksonville Jaguars

The former Cowboys sack leader inked a one-year deal worth $3.25 million with the Jags. He too will look to take advantage of a more favorable fit, even if it’s just down the road from Miami.

Things never really worked out for Ogbah under the Mike McDaniel regime. But his best two year stretch with the Dolphins came while he was at least adjacent to new Jacksonville DC Anthony Campanile, who was then a linebackers coach for Miami.
