Thomas was a fifth-round pick in 2024 by the Cowboys. He most recently played in all 17 games for Dallas in 2025, starting three of them. The 25-year-old will now move to Houston to join a questionable Texans offensive line heading into the 2026 campaign.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday that Thomas and Tyler Guyton are competing for the starting job at left tackle this offseason, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Guyton missed the final six weeks of the 2025 season with a knee injury, allowing Thomas an extended run at the position.

Cowboys' Nathan Thomas: Great landing spot in Dallas
Rotowire
The Cowboys selected Thomas in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 233rd overall.
Thomas was a two-year starting left tackle at Louisiana, but it's possible the Cowboys opt to move him to guard as well. A physical blocker who relishes the point of contact, the 22-year-old seems to match Dallas' tonal scheme along the offensive line perfectly, and at minimum Thomas should provide depth at multiple positions up front.
