For the Dallas Cowboys, the immediate future hinges on Dak Prescott's performance following a disappointing 2024 season. Key areas for improvement include a struggling offensive line, with both Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele ranked poorly in pass protection, and a lackluster rushing attack that ranked 26th in EPA. With the addition of O-line expert Klayton Adams and first-round guard Tyler Booker, the Cowboys hope to bolster the offensive line. Additionally, the addition of George Pickens is expected to expand the receiving corps alongside CeeDee Lamb, allowing for a more dynamic offense.

The Cowboys also need to address their poor defensive performance, particularly in rushing defense, ranking 31st overall. While injuries persist in their secondary, the front office believes their defensive tackle solution is sufficient to rebound in 2025. All these adjustments aim to not only revive Prescott's career but also restore the Cowboys' competitive edge within the NFL.
