## Resource

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season was marked by the NFLs worst defense, leading to a trade of star edge rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay. Parsons thrived, while the Cowboys, under new coach Brian Schottenheimer, struggled with a tough schedule and penalties. The team focused on defense in the draft, but rookies need time to gel. The 2026 schedule is brutal, with four road games against 2025 playoff teams. Dak Prescott had a strong season, but his cap hit is rising. The Cowboys face a crucial decision at the trade deadline: rebuild or chase veterans. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
