Markquese Bell faces competition for Cowboys roster spot in 2026

Markquese Bell, a safety for the Dallas Cowboys, is competing for his position as the team transitions to a new defensive scheme. After four seasons, including a significant role on special teams and defense in 2023, Bell now faces uncertainty following an arrest for marijuana possession in April. Bell's previous performance led to a three-year contract extension in 2025, though his depth chart position may be in jeopardy with new defensive backs joining the roster. He is expected to participate in training camp to prove he deserves a spot on the final roster.
