The NFL offseason presents some interesting moves to keep an eye on. One of the teams that is the protagonist of the activity in this vibrant period is the Dallas Cowboys of owner Jerry Jones. On this occasion, America’s team lost a defensive player who will continue his career with the New York Giants.

The Cowboys are coming off a disappointing season in the NFL and are looking to improve their record in 2025 in order to fulfill the long-awaited expectation of a deep postseason run. To that end, Jones has already been active on the market. Not only are acquisitions important, but so are departures that strengthen key areas such as defense.

The Cowboys player who will play the 2025 NFL season with the Giants is defensive end Chauncey Golston, according to NFL Network. The 27-year-old player agreed to a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the New York franchise.
