Eric Kendricks signed with the Dallas Cowboys for the 2024 season, but is his future with the team truly secure beyond that? While the Cowboys may appreciate his veteran presence, eight words could determine whether he remains in Dallas in 2025.

**Kendricks’ One-Year Deal: A Stopgap Solution?**

Eric Kendricks signed a 1-year, $3 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys[1][2]. The deal includes a $1 million signing bonus and $2.5 million guaranteed[1][2]. He will become a free agent in 2025[1][2].

**The Eight Words That Could Change Everything**

Those eight words are: **”The Dallas Cowboys will not re-sign Kendricks.”**

While Kendricks brings experience and leadership to the Cowboys’ linebacker corps, his long-term future with the team is far from guaranteed[3]. Several factors could influence the Cowboys’ decision:

* **Performance:** Kendricks’ performance in 2024 will be a major factor. If he struggles to stay healthy or doesn’t perform up to expectations, the Cowboys may decide to move on[1].
* **Emergence of Younger Players:** If younger linebackers on the roster step up and prove themselves, the Cowboys may prioritize their development over re-signing Kendricks.
* **Salary Cap:** The Cowboys will need to manage their salary cap carefully in 2025[4]. Re-signing Kendricks would require allocating a portion of that cap space to the linebacker position[4].

**Cowboys’ 2025 Free Agency Outlook**

The Cowboys have a number of free agents set to hit the open market during the 2025 NFL offseason[5]. The Cowboys faced a challenge in their 2025 salary cap[6].

**What’s Next for Kendricks?**

Eric Kendricks’ future with the Cowboys hinges on his performance in 2024 and the team’s overall needs and priorities heading into 2025. While he provides a valuable veteran presence, the Cowboys will ultimately need to decide whether he fits into their long-term plans[3]. If not, those eight words could spell the end of his time in Dallas.
