"The 2025 season did not go as planned for the Dallas Cowboys. There was a lot of excitement heading into the regular season, but just a few days before kickoff against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jerry Jones did the unthinkable by trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. Things quickly took a turn for the worse and the defensive struggles were too much to overcome to make the postseason."
"It's almost hard not to feel a little bad for Eberflus, giving the franchise altering move the front office made by trading Parsons right before the season, but we watch coaches every year figure it out with star players missing time due to injury. Eberflus could not answer that call, and led the Cowboys to one of the team's worst defensive seasons in franchise history."
The Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks just before the 2025 season, and then suffered a defensive collapse that prevented a playoff berth. Head coach Matt Eberflus failed to adjust effectively, contributing to one of the franchise's worst defensive seasons. Eberflus influenced acquisitions such as Kenneth Murray and Kaiir Elam, but coverages often mismatched personnel. The secondary requires extensive rebuilding with DaRon Bland recovering from another foot injury, Shavon Revel Jr. struggling as a rookie, and Trevon Diggs now in Green Bay. Management must prioritize defensive play-calling and personnel upgrades for 2026.
