Dallas finished 2025 with a strong total offense and a defense that allowed explosive passing plays at a near-historic rate. Brian Schottenheimer’s first year ended with points produced in waves behind Dak Prescott, with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens central to the passing attack, while third-down execution ran out of answers. The 2026 season begins with Prescott returning, a defensive staff led by new coordinator Christian Parker, and Pickens’ contract resolved via the franchise tag. The roster has added defensive pieces including Jalen Thompson, PJ Locke, and Rashan Gary, and the offense is supported by an offensive line anchored by Tyler Smith and Tyler Booker. Early OTA signals suggest the team has aligned on its identity.
"The defense added Jalen Thompson, PJ Locke, and a Rashan Gary trade that moved a first-round pick and a 2027 fourth to Green Bay. The result is a roster that no longer needs the Eagles to collapse, the Commanders to regress, or the Giants to keep being the Giants."
