Analyst: 'Doing the Draft Show in October' if Cowboys don't correct this Dak Prescott issueHow much different will the Dallas Cowboys' offense look in 2025? Brian Schottenheimer has been on the staff for the last three years, so his hire as head coach clearly had something to do with continuity, but that doesn't mean that he was lock-in-step with former head coach Mike McCarthy.

The Dallas Cowboys don't have a stacked roster, top to bottom. When lining up all NFL teams, the Cowboys certainly have some strong positions on paper, but spring and summer analysis rarely play out as expected come the fall. In between, the team will make several decisions on who they want to protect on the initial 53-man roster. Oftentimes those decisions before Week 1 will be labeled as the final 53-man roster when they are nothing of the sort.

While the Cowboys have failed to turn great players and above-average rosters into championship contenders, they've certainly had their fair share of legendary members of their various rosters over the years. Yes, the team has a 30-year drought of making it to an NFC Championship game, much less hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, but it hasn't been for a lack of individual stars worthy of being called champions.

The comp pick formula was extended a bit, but now that it's officially closed, the only thing remaining at play is just how much each of the qualifying free agents plays in 2025. For the Dallas Cowboys, this could have a serious impact on their future, because they have three players who could greatly impact the number of comp picks. 32 compensatory picks are awarded to teams annually, based on a formula of signing and losing qualified free agents.

Cowboys may want to keep these 3 young players off other team's radars

1 week ago | cowboyswire.usatoday.com | K.D. Drummond

One of the oldest tricks in the book is for an NFL team to try and hide a player they think has immense upside but isn't ready to contribute right away. Sometimes that is taken to the extreme, where a very minor injury is made out to be season-ending, allowing the club to stash a young player on injured reserve. That let's the youngster still attend meetings and work with the strength and conditioning staff, but bars them from actually practicing with the club.

Could Cowboys trade former 2nd-round pick before rookie deal done?

1 week ago | cowboyswire.usatoday.com | K.D. Drummond

The Dallas Cowboys have done things a bit differently over the last 24 months. When they initially turned the trade spigot on, they used it to acquire veterans they hoped would help. Starting August 2023, the club traded for QB Trey Lance, and then WR Jonathan Mingo in the middle of the 2024 season. This spring, while they traded for established veteran Kenneth Murray, they also acquired CB Kaiir Elam, QB Joe Milton and now most famously WR George Pickens.
