US EditionDallas Cowboys can't afford to keep wasting seasons like the one Dak Prescott just had
The Cowboys aim to rebuild a defense that allowed a franchise-high 511 points, focusing on linebackers, secondary, and edge rushers with key 2026 draft picks and roster moves.
- On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys shifted into offseason work, targeting linebackers, defensive backs and pass rushers as priorities before April's NFL draft, a key opportunity for Jerry Jones and the front office.

- At linebacker, the Cowboys face a likely overhaul after struggles from Kenneth Murray and Logan Wilson, while the secondary unit requires multiple draft investments amid free-agent uncertainty and Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark anchor the interior line with Jadeveon Clowney's future unclear.
- Over the next week, the front office and coaches will conduct evaluations, with defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus facing serious job insecurity and Brian Schottenheimer saying the staff will examine everything.
- George Pickens is the offseason priority to re-sign as the Cowboys consider franchise-tagging him, while they also aim to keep Javonte Williams and maintain Dak Prescott as offensive leader.
