Saahdiq Charles Signs One-Year Deal with Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms with offensive guard Saahdiq Charles on a one-year contract, bolstering their offensive line depth. Charles, 25, returns to the NFL after unexpectedly retiring from the Tennessee Titans in August 2024 due to personal reasons ¹.
Charles’ Background
– Drafted by the Washington Commanders in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft
– Played four seasons with the Commanders, starting 18 games in 35 appearances
– Primarily played left guard, but also saw time at right guard and left tackle
Expectations with the Cowboys
Charles will compete for the open right guard position left by Zack Martin’s retirement, joining veteran Robert Jones. The Cowboys’ coaching staff hopes to develop Charles’ skills at guard, leveraging his 6’4″ and 320-pound frame ¹ ².
Roster Implications
The signing of Charles adds to the Cowboys’ offensive line depth, but may not significantly impact their draft strategy. The team still has ample cap space, with $37.66 million available, allowing for further roster moves before the NFL draft ³.
