2026 NFL Cowboys season outlook

Overview

As the 2026 NFL regular season approaches, the Dallas Cowboys are generating significant preseason hype. Following a 2025 season where the team ranked second in total yardage and seventh in scoring, analysts are predicting high offensive output under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Dak Prescott is projected to potentially lead the league in both passing yardage and touchdowns, supported by a receiving corps including CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. On the defensive side, the team has undergone a major overhaul, including the hiring of Christian Parker as defensive coordinator and the addition of veterans such as Von Miller, Rashan Gary, and Otito Ogbonnia. Recent updates indicate the unit has been further bolstered by rookie Caleb Downs alongside returning stars Quinnen Williams and DaRon Bland. Offseason transactions have also impacted the team’s roster depth and future draft capital. The Cowboys acquired offensive tackle Broderick Jones from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for 2027 third- and sixth-round picks, and also added offensive tackle Nate Thomas from the Houston Texans. Following the release of the 53-man roster, analysis shows a heavy reliance on the draft, which accounts for 39.6% of the squad. Other acquisition methods include free agency (30.2%), undrafted free agents (15.1%), and trades (13.2%). While the atmosphere remains positive heading into the opener against the New York Giants, evaluations highlight potential concerns in the defensive backfield regarding health and the performance of players like Caelen Carson. Speculation persists regarding further roster additions, including free agent cornerback Adoree Jackson and potential trade interest in Maxx Crosby. While expectations remain a point of debate among analysts, observers note a reduction in off-field drama and a positive atmosphere heading into the regular season opener against the New York Giants.
