The offseason recruiting has officially begun.
The Dallas Cowboys finished the season 7-10 and will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2020. Now, the focus has shifted to the offseason, and that means Dallas has to figure a lot of things out in terms of their roster. All-Pro defender Micah Parsons has already gotten a jump start on how the Cowboys can be better in 2025.
It’s no secret that Dallas has one of the best wide receivers in the NFL in CeeDee Lamb. However, it’s also common knowledge that the Cowboys don’t have a threat at receiver besides him, making that position a big priority before next season. Parsons took to social media to make a pitch to Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill to bring his talents to the Cowboys.
@cheetah we can be the fastest duo in the league!!! we also don’t have state income taxes!

Hill is currently at a crossroads with the Dolphins. The six-time All-Pro restructured his deal this year and has two more years remaining on it. His cap hit is $26.9 million in 2025. However, Hill spoke to the media after the Dolphins’ loss to the New York Jets in their season finale, and he made it known that he has played his last down with the organization. Miami could avoid a $51.89 million payout to Hill in 2026 if a trade partner is found.
The idea of Hill joining the Cowboys to pair with Lamb is certainly an exciting thought. That would give Dallas multiple No. 1 options in the passing game, and both guys would give the other a ton of one-on-one opportunities with the attention they would draw. When it comes to the Cowboys, though, these types of things are difficult to pull off with how they operate.
Dallas currently has over $17 million in cap space that can roll over to next season. They can get a lot more with the restructuring of contracts and other maneuvers. Stephen Jones, the organization’s executive vice president, and co-general manager in a lot of ways, just simply doesn’t allow the Cowboys to be make big splashes, and it would take a miracle for him to take on Hill’s deal. Plus, he’s already stated that Dallas will have a tight offseason.
Parsons can sign an extension before the 2025 season comes, which would improve the Cowboys cap situation, and he’s already stated that he wants to help the team bring in outside talent. It’s doubtful the Joneses will listen.
