The 2025-26 NFL season is in the books, and while the Dallas Cowboys have been preparing for the offseason for the past few weeks and rebuilding the coaching staff with the hiring of new defensive coordinator Christian Parker.
The 2025-26 NFL season is officially in the books, following the Seattle Seahawks' big win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. Now, as every team across the league turns to the offseason, we have received a way-too-early look at the Super Bowl 61 odds.
Dak Prescott’s standing in the NFL continues to spark debate, especially as expectations in the league rarely soften. Former wide receiver Chad Ochocinco recently offered perspective on why the Dallas Cowboys quarterback remains a lightning rod despite consistent production.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters that he plans to keep WR George Pickens in Dallas for a long time. “I’m talking to George all the time by virtue of my excitement for him,” Jones said, via the team’s official website.
The Dallas Cowboys intend to use their franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, but that does not mean his future with the organization is settled.
Some franchises' best efforts have not led to victory parades or even Super Bowl berths. Because of untimely injuries, unfortunate circumstances, or myriad other reasons, many teams' plans throughout NFL history have not produced the desired result.
Dallas Cowboys fans still remember calling for T.J. Watt in the 2017 NFL draft. In need of a new pass-rusher, Watt was there for the taking at No. 28 overall.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says a tag and trade scenario involving the Cowboys and WR George Pickens is considered a possibility heading into the offseason. Dallas is expected to franchise Pickens to prevent him from leaving in free agency and to give them time to work on a long-term deal.
For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.
It appears one of the biggest dominoes has already fallen for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, when it was reported on Saturday that they plan to use the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens.
The NFL franchise tag allows a team to keep a key player from hitting unrestricted free agency. Teams do this by offering a one-year, fully guaranteed contract.
Come March, I see the same reaction from Cowboys fans, and it is frustration. Big names come off the free agent board, money starts to fly, and Dallas looks like it’s sitting on its hands.
SAN FRANCISCO — The 2025 Dallas Cowboys did not have the season that anybody in the organization wanted. A 7-9-1 record. losses in four of their last five games, and a defense under Matt Eberflus that ranked dead last in points allowed, and set all kinds of marks for overall futility.
The Dallas Cowboys are going to give it another go with wide receiver George Pickens. Following an impressive 2025 NFL season with the Cowboys, Pickens is expected to be franchise tagged by Dallas, according to several reports.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the team's website that Dallas wants to keep George Pickens for "a long time," and will take a step toward that by placing the franchise tag on the Pro Bowl wide receiver, ESPN reported on Saturday.
The Dallas Cowboys had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last season, but Jerry Jones has been adamant that they're going to get things fixed. Dallas already moved on from defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, and Jones allowed head coach Brian Schottenheimer to lead a legitimate search for his replacement.
The Dallas Cowboys went 7-9-1, finishing in second place in the NFC East and missing the playoffs. Now into the offseason, the front office can focus on improving the roster for 2026, especially on the defense.
When I made this mock draft I wasn’t chasing buzz or trying to win headlines. I wanted to fill needs with the picks the Cowboys own without crazy trades.
On Sunday, the 2025 NFL season will officially come to an end with either the Seahawks or Patriots crowned as Super Bowl Champions. On Monday, you will see a flood of mock drafts like never before.
