The Cowboys just lost an important piece of their offense to another contender

That part of the team has just gotten a little weaker.

The Dallas Cowboys had one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL last season, and a portion of that success can be attributed to their dynamic offensive line. However, the Cowboys are set to lose a member of that line, as guard Ronald Leary is signing with the Denver Broncos.

Leary started 13 games for the Cowboys in 2016, and he is expected to replace Michael Schofield at right guard for the Broncos.

Pro Football Focus ranked Leary as the No. 24 guard out of 74 guards last season.

The Cowboys are expected to use La'el Collins at guard as Leary's replacement.
