5 Dallas Cowboys who could come out of retirement and play today

3. Travis Frederick, Center

This one is tough because we all thought Travis Frederick was going to be there in 2020. The Cowboys Pro Bowl center missed the entire 2018 season as he battled Guillain-Barré syndrome which is a rare condition that attacks the nerves. He was able to overcome this and return in 2019 and played well enough to earn his fifth trip to the Pro Bowl.

Unfortunately, Frederick decided not to come back in 2020 saying that playing “well” wasn’t enough for him and that the guys he plays alongside deserve better.

"“I made my return to the field, played well overall, and was selected to the Pro Bowl, but it was a difficult year for me,” Frederick said in his announcement via Todd Archer of ESPN. “Each day I faced a struggle: I could no longer perform at my highest level. Playing ‘well’ is not what I expect of myself and is not what my teammates deserve. Because of this, I know my days as a football player are done. I am proud of what I have accomplished in my career, and I walk away with my head held high.”"

Frederick could still play though — if he wanted to. He showed that by suiting up for every game in 2019 and at just 29 years old, the window won’t shut completely on a possible return for several years.

However, Frederick’s return is still highly unlikely even if it would be great to see him back one last time.
