Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman T.J. Bass has officially signed his second-round restricted free agent tender, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The move secures the young lineman's place on the roster for the upcoming 2026 season.
T.J. Bass originally joined the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon. He has since developed into a key depth piece for the team's offensive front, showcasing versatility by playing multiple positions across the interior. By signing the tender, Bass avoids a potential holdout and ensures he will be present for the team's offseason program.
The second-round designation reflects the value the Dallas Cowboys place on Bass, as it would have required another team to surrender a second-round draft pick to sign him away. Bass appeared in all 17 games last season, providing critical stability during injury stretches for the starting unit.
