"We have been able to, as of right now, rebuild this defense. I think the fact that we put a new newness to the system and coaching staff, and new faces that we've added, we've changed this defense."
"The churn among the starters is even higher at 64% with seven of the 11 listed starters already off the team."
"Of the 27 players on the opening-day roster against the Eagles in 2025, 15 are no longer with the Cowboys."
"The changes made were not just a reaction to last year, but a product of 3, 4, 5 years, maybe more, where we ultimately didn't get to where we were trying to go and be a contender."
The Cowboys have undergone a major transformation in their defense, with 15 of 27 players from the 2025 opening-day roster no longer with the team. This represents a 56% turnover rate, nearly double the NFL average. The changes are not merely reactive but stem from years of underperformance. Among the starters, 64% have been replaced, with only two likely to return. New players have been added throughout the season, but only Quinnen Williams remains on the roster.
