A few hours before one of the biggest players in Cowboys The story of the franchise was to officially announce his retirement from football, the team took a big step to tackle the hole he would leave behind.
Cowboys Re-signed Brock Hoffman Tuesday eveningAssuming that the 6 inch-4 inch and 302 pounds will continue the development which saw him begin seven games last season in place of the right-right goalkeeper Zack Martin.
Hoffman had been an exclusive rights agent, which means that Dallas took control of his services anyway. But the official inking of its one-year call for tenders as one of the first blows by the front office, this off-season may show how critical the 25-year-old will be for the offensive plans of the cowboys in 2025.
Hoffman will win $ 1.03 million this seasonA number predetermined by the collective negotiation agreement for the ERFA. This status which is decided by the number of games they have spent on the active list of a team.
Virginia Tech not written by Virginia Tech in 2022, Hoffman began his career in NFL Brown‘Practice the team. After an outing at the beginning of the start, it was recovered by Dallas and saw the action in three games this season.
He played in the 17 games of the following year, especially in the center of Tyler Biadasz in a week of departure for week 3, then passing to the right -wing guard in place of Martin to start the final of the regular season of 2023.
When Martin fell with an ankle injury against Houston in mid-November 2024, Hoffman again received the call to intervene at the right guard. He stayed there the rest of the season and seems to be a legitimate option to replace Martin full time now that the Bowler Pro Nine times retires.
But its proven versatility gives Cowboys intriguing flexibility. Hoffman could have become the team center and allow the second year man Cooper Beebe – who managed these functions last year for the first time Return to his collegial post on guard.
It will be at least a consideration for the cowboys head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, the offensive coordinator Klayton Adams (who is delivered with the hardcore experience of OL), and the new trainer of the offensive line Conor Riley, who, by coincidence, was Beebe’s position coach at Kansas State.
But the team will also probably address the offensive line at some point in the draft.
For the moment, they know that they have Hoffman and its famous unpleasant disposition enclosed in the center or the right guard – so that all the changes can arrive at the offensive line of the cowboys in 2025.
