The Dallas Cowboys held a press conference to close out the 2025 season on Wednesday and in it touched on a variety of things relative to the offseason and all of the work that will need to take place. A popular topic in the offseason will be re-signing certain players and one who a lot of people are banging the table for is running back Javonte Williams.
The Dallas Cowboys held a press conference to close the 2025 season on Wednesday, something that we hope we never have to speak of again. The future is all anyone cares about right now and there is a lot of work to be done in that regard. We all know that the Cowboys are not a team who believes a ton in free agency, obviously that is always subject to change, but there are a lot of spots on the roster that are going to need to work and improvement.
So let me rephrase: Offense is the name of the game in the NFL as long as you have a somewhat competent defense. Dallas led the league in most offensive stats, but unfortunately, were near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive stat. It was a defensive failure of epic proportions, but it did not stop the Cowboys from putting together one of the most prolific offensive performances in the NFL.
The Dallas Cowboys 2025 season is officially over. After dropping their Week 18 game to the New York Giants 34-17, the Cowboys head into the offseason with a lot of work to be done. While the offense was as good as we have seen it in recent years, the Dallas defense gave up more than 500 points in the 2025 season and ranked near the bottom of the league in every advanced metric tracked by RBSDM.com.
Securing good health for an older fella who's had some injury issues in recent seasons seemed like it would take precedence over finishing out the season. Plus, wouldn't they want to get a better look at their young backup, Joe Milton III? There was some buzz that they wanted Prescott to finish as the league's leader in passing yardage, who entered the week with a 34-yard advantage over Matthew Stafford.
The season is over for the Dallas Cowboys which means that they are fully in offseason mode. Much will be said by the team's leadership about how they want to avoid a season like 2025 (and 2024 for that matter) moving forward which means that there is work to be done. One of the first points of work for the Cowboys will be tending to their set-to-be free agents.
This time tomorrow, the Dallas Cowboys will be gearing up for their final game of the 2025 season; at best, it will be their first .500 season since the 2019 campaign - at its worst, 7-9-1. That would be the first losing season Dak Prescott has had in a year when he was fully healthy. Based on that, and what we've seen on screen since September, it is clear that changes must be made in Dallas this offseason.
Currently, the 7-8-1 Cowboys would be 14th in the draft order. Their other first-round pick from Green Bay won't be decided until we see how the Packers fare in the playoffs, but we know it won't be any better than 19th. This weekend really doesn't matter on that front, but it could have a tremendous impact on Dallas' original pick.
Other than determining where the Dallas Cowboys will be ultimately slotted in the 2026 NFL Draft, this Week 18 matchup with the New York Giants is a meaningless game anyway you choose to try to break it down. And no matter how much Brian Schottenheimer and several of the Cowboys starters say they want to go out and win this game, it may be more beneficial as far as the future is concerned to sit several of their key starters.
Currently the defensive coordinator with the Vikings, Flores has been one of the best defensive minds in the league for the last few years. But his contract is up after this season, and Mike Florio recently lent credence to the idea that Dallas may pursue him. Few would be more thrilled than myself to see Flores on the sidelines in Dallas, especially after campaigning for him to be the head coach this past offseason, but the likelihood of that happening is exceedingly low.
2026 has officially arrived and here at Blogging The Boys we hope that it is off to a special start for you and yours. It is amazing to think that this site is over 20 years old and that so many people have been here through the entire ride. As we embark upon a new year and the subject of resolutions is all over the place, what should the Cowboys' resolutions be?
The 12-year veteran didn't step on the field until Week 4 versus the Green Bay Packers in which he logged three tackles in 23 snaps in a 40-40 tie. By the time the Cowboys took on the Washington Commanders in Week 7, Clowney had his football legs under him and he flashed with five tackles, one tackle for loss, one sack, two pass breakups, and one fumble recovery in the win.
When the Cowboys hired Matt Eberflus to run the defense, the pitch was structure, discipline, and a system that could elevate the talent already in the building. Instead, we saw regression, and most of it landed exactly where the Cowboys fans didn't expect it to, at the feet of the secondary.
"Probably the one that I think was the most impactful is that we had a high expectation in our secondary, and I thought we would be good at all phases of it..." Jones said. "The secondary really had issues regarding personnel, time on the field, time at practice. We weren't ambitious, we knew some of those guys would be getting back [from injury]... I would say that's the area."
