America’s team, the Dallas Cowboys struggled mightily in 2024. It was a season all Cowboys fans would quickly like to forget. It was particularly regrettable since owner Jerry Jones had confidently expressed in last year’s offseason that “they were all in”. While most fans took this to mean that the Cowboys would load up in the offseason with free-agent signings, there was not much happening behind the scenes. It even took more time than expected to get deals done with their stars Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.

Eventually, all this led to a failed season as Dallas finished with a disappointing 7-10 record. Nevertheless, changes are taking place and the biggest one so far is the axing of head coach Mike McCarthy who has been replaced by former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. Dallas will need to make this offseason count by making roster changes and drafting well to get back to winning ways.

As far as the Cowboys’ schedule is concerned, we need to wait for a few more months. But, the 2025 opponents are already set in stone and while Dallas could benefit from playing a few third-place teams, there are quite a few quality oppositions as well.
