The Dallas Cowboys are making significant changes to their offensive line this season resulting from the retirement of veteran guard Zack Martin. In a bid to fill the void, the team has signed former Miami Dolphins guard Robert Jones, who brings experience as a 30-game starter. Although Jones has not reached Martin's previous level of play, he offers a more manageable drop-off compared to the recent decline of Martin's performance, which saw him post an overall Pro Football Focus grade of just 65.2 this past season.

Alongside Jones, the team is looking towards the future with first-round picks Tyler Smith and Tyler Guyton, as well as the selection of Cooper Beebe in the third round of the 2024 draft. The Cowboys are committed to rebuilding their offensive line, hoping to restore the once-dominant Great Wall of Dallas. This transition marks a new chapter for the Cowboys, emphasizing a focus on youth and potential as they navigate the upcoming season.
