Dallas Cowboys offseason plans via ESPN’s Todd Archer: “There is a lot of work to do, but the Cowboys started by hiring 34-year-old Christian Parker at defensive coordinator and an almost entirely new coaching staff. Now, they have to find Parker more talent after the defense allowed 511 points in 2025. They have two first-round picks (Nos. 12 and 20). They can be more aggressive in free agency depending on how they want to handle their salary cap. But they also need improvement from players already in-house, such as LB DeMarvion Overshown, CB Shavon Revel Jr., DE Donovan Ezeiruaku and CB DaRon Bland.”

Confidence level in the Cowboys fixing the defense? Scale it: 1-10
I disagree with the offense statement tbh the scheme is a bit out dated and too predictable need to switch it up!!
Yes Christian Parker will play a major role in picking defensive players
Defense was embarrassing last year they need a complete defensive rebuild im tired of seeing my team get belted on national tv 😅
The cowboys wont make the playoffs next year either. Between the GP drama and teams having a year of film on the offense, they will regress. The defense will improve bc it is almost impossible to be worse than what they were but they still wont be good

Why not go FA Experience Edges like Crosby Hendrickson or Bosa and DRAFT our secondary LB, CB, AND SAFETIES, What do you think tom?
But the talking heads will continue to overhyped the cowboys like they do every year!

Players with exceptional football IQ that’s what this defense needs!
Eagles at 8 is crazy work. They should have been 7-10 last year.

5 that's the best I can do . I just list faith in this front office years ago . I hope I'm wrong this year
If they really want an a+ season roster moves, they need to cut Steele mandatory he’s fakes up a lot of cap for a player that doesn’t do much besides run block. If our top defensive picks are gone by the 12 pick draft the best offensive right tackle in the draft and second pick get a db or line backer. I’d say keep Donovan Wilson since he actually tackle but still find a safety that can actually ready the field
Defense is already fixed lol after Parker hire,run it back with same players and I guarantee a top 20 defense lol
When it comes to this front office When I see it I’ll believe it
Remember all that “Dry Powder” talk? Sam Donald is no where near DAK. DAK was more than good to take the team to a Super Bowl. Shows you how much so many other factors matter. Yup DAK Hate Hive I’m talking to YALL!
Everything Todd said was right cause he apparently watches the show. Didn't say anything we haven't already heard from watching you Tom.
Retain that offense!

Anybody else think the GIANTS r guna be a problem nxt season? They got alot of badass players and yung…hurt players will b bak…new coach and another high draft pick…not saying SB but better. Dallas must win the SB now before the GIANTS get it together
Overshown was coming off a MAJOR knee injury
Reveal coming off of a knee injury nad it was only 12 months.
Donovan Ezeiruaku sucks

In before the williams trade was ournoffseason and jerry starts gaslighting the fans with the pie talk
Pass Rusher,Defensive End,safeties
I think defensive end is a huge need. The Cowboys have done a bad job drafting defensive ends in the draft. Let's hope Parker hired a guy who can develop defensive line talent. Otherwise get the best player available at cb, linebacker, and safety then go heavy at DE in free agency. Side Note: That Daron Bland contract was bullshit. Only the Cowboys sign a CB to a large contract and it still be a dire need in the offseason. The guy gets paid and then is hurt all of the time. Remind you of any other CBs?
