"In one Google search, you can see that the odds of a Dallas divisional championship this winter are slim to none. The Philadelphia Eagles' lead grows by the week, but this week's Cowboys' trades may have set them up to topple the Birds in 2026. Quinnien Williams and Logan Wilson, in all likelihood, are here to stay beyond just this season, and the offense has shown us they should have long-term success."
"All this organization really needs to do to get back on top of the NFC East mountain is create a legitimate defense; with these moves, they have made one big step toward making that a reality. The Eagles are strong, there's no denying that, but when you look ahead to what Dallas could become, and what their divisional foes will be in 2026, the pathway to a first-place finish opens up."
The Cowboys' deadline moves improved their long-term outlook despite present pessimism. Quinnien Williams and Logan Wilson likely remain beyond this season, and the offense projects sustained success behind a franchise quarterback, a potential RB1, cap flexibility, an improving offensive line, and strong skill-position weapons. The defensive line foundation includes Donovan Ezeriruaku, M. Williams, Osa Odighizuwa, and Kenny Clark. Remaining needs center on linebackers and secondary depth. Health of prospects like DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel, combined with prudent use of draft picks and cap space, could complete the roster and open a path to the NFC East in 2026.
