Cowboys Re-Sign Former First-Round Pick for a Redemption Chance in 2025

Published: May 17, 2025

In a bold move, the Dallas Cowboys have re-signed defensive end Taco Charlton, their 2017 first-round pick, to a one-year, $1.2 million deal to compete for a depth role on the defensive line. The signing aims to bolster the pass rush alongside stars Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, sparking intrigue and skepticism among fans as the Cowboys target Super Bowl LX.

Charlton, selected 28th overall in 2017, returns to Dallas after a disappointing initial stint. From 2017-2019, he recorded just 4 sacks and 46 tackles in 27 games, hampered by missed tackles and inconsistent quarterback pressure. Released in 2019, he bounced to the Dolphins, Chiefs, Steelers, and Bears, totaling 9.5 sacks across 62 career games.

“He’s matured,” said GM Jerry Jones, defending the reunion. Standing 6’6” and 270 pounds with a 4.92-second 40-yard dash, Charlton will vie with Sam Williams and Viliami Fehoko for a backup role. “He’s got a chip on his shoulder,” said Parsons, praising Charlton’s resolve.

Coming off a 7-10 season in 2024, the Cowboys are looking to revitalize their roster. Fans on X are divided, with one posting, “Taco’s back? Hope he shows up!” while another groaned, “This bust again?” With Dak Prescott leading the offense and Parsons dominating the defense, Charlton’s return could ignite a comeback—or rekindle old frustrations. Can he rewrite his Dallas story? The 2025 season will tell.
