The latest buzz around the Dallas Cowboys all in one place.
Cowboys All-Pro Micah Parsons claims he would take less money on new deal to play with Myles Garrett – Garrett Podell, CBS Sports
Myles Garrett recently requested a trade from the Browns and Micah Parsons would be ecstatic to play along side him in Dallas.
Parsons, 25, would “100%” take less money on his new contract in order for Dallas to trade and extend Garrett, who is 29. That would give the Cowboys the NFL’s sacks leader (Garrett with 60.0 sacks) and the league’s fifth-ranked player in sacks (Parsons with 52.5) since Parsons entered the NFL as the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones would need to promptly extend Garrett shortly after acquiring him via trade because the four-time First Team All-Pro doesn’t have any guaranteed salary remaining on the final two seasons, 2025 and 2026, of his current five-year, $125 million contract. Parsons is willing to take a smaller amount of money on his first non-rookie deal contract in the NFL to play alongside Garrett along the Dallas defensive line with one catch: he needs to be making slightly more than Garrett.
“Oh, 100%. Yeah, 100%” Parsons said when asked if he would take pay cut for the Cowboys to acquire Garrett. “Will he take less too?… We would definitely have to make that happen. … As long as he [Jerry Jones] let me be a little higher [paid] than him [Garrett]. … I’m younger. … He [Garrett] want to be with us too. … I do alright [off the field as a Cowboy]. I do [want to win].”
Ashton Jeanty: ‘It would be special’ to play for Cowboys – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com
Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty talked to the media about the possibility of being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.
“I think it would be dope, a lot of great people there, a lot of talented players,” Jeanty said about what it would mean to be a Cowboy. “Potentially to be a part of that, I think that would be a great opportunity.”
Jeanty’s football journey has taken him all over the world, from learning the game at a field on a military base in Italy to finishing as the runner up for the Heisman Trophy after an electric season in Boise, Idaho after running for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2024.
In between that time, Jeanty was a standout player at Frisco Lone Star high school, a 15-minute drive from the Cowboys’ headquarters. Simply put, having a chance to return home and play for the Cowboys would be an opportunity that Jeanty would relish the entire time.
“It would be special, growing up in Frisco, spending a lot of time out there, I think it would be cool to have the star on my helmet again,” Jeanty said. “Playing for Lone Star, I had a star on my helmet as well, so it would be a dope moment if that were to happen.”
If that dream does in fact become reality in April, Jeanty will be tasked with helping elevate a Cowboys run game that struggled at various times last season. The good news is that when new head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s offensive scheme is working it’s best, it’s because of a strong run game.
Kellen Moore has high praise for new Cowboys HC Brian Schotteheimer – Josh Sanchez, Sports Illustrated
During Super Bowl interviews, former Cowboys OC Kellen Moore shared his opinion on the new head coach in Dallas.
When asked about Dallas’ new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, Moore had nothing but praise for his former colleague.
The two worked together for one season in 2022 when Schottenheimer was a coaching analyst.
“Schotty’s a great person, loved my year working with him, obviously we connected a lot just as far as the game plans…” Moore said, via DallasCowboys.com.
“Schotty was phenomenal for me, and he’ll be great for Dak [Prescott] and all those guys.”
Everyone who has spoken about Schotteheimer has had high praise. There was even a report that Mike McCarthy helped Schotteheimer prepare for his interview with Jerry Jones. That says a lot about the respect McCarthy has for the man who would eventually replace him.
Cowboys add two assistants to Brian Schottenheimer coaching staff – Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com
The 2025 Cowboys’ coaching staff continues to take shape as they add Bryan Bing as the new assistant defensive line coach and Tiquan Underwood as the new assistant wide receivers coach.
Bing joins a growing list of assistant coaches who spent time in Chicago with former Bears’ head coach Matt Eberflus, the latter returning to the Cowboys as defensive coordinator in 2025, and though they didn’t cross paths in Indianapolis, Bing did have a stint with the Colts recently as well.
He’ll report directly to Aaron Whitecotton, hired away only days ago from the New York Jets as defensive line coach.
Underwood, a former NFL receiver who found his way to the league as a draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2009, spent several seasons as a player for multiple clubs, including a stretch in the CFL, before beginning his coaching career in 2018 — one that would eventually lead him to being named assistant wide receivers coach of the New England Patriots in 2024.
His expertise as a former player should go a long way in aiding in the development of young talent like Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy, Jonathan Mingo and the like — the title of wide receivers coach, determining who Underwood will be assisting, to be awarded to a candidate soon.
Jimmy Johnson on a missed three-peat, Schotty hire, Cowboys’ roster needs, and more – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com
Jimmy Johnson recently chimed in to share his two cents on the new head coach for the Cowboys.
“I wish Brian all the luck in the world,” Johnson said. “I texted him the other day and said if there’s anything I can ever do, just give me a call.”
Johnson credited Schottenheimer, who was the offensive coordinator under Mike McCarthy but did not call plays, for his storied past as a coach in the NFL and what he was able to do with constructing strategy each week helped him ultimately land the head coaching job.
“I think he’s an outstanding football coach, he’s got a great history as far as being in the league,” Johnson said. “The other thing is I think Brian was a big part of putting together the gameplans with Mike McCarthy, and so I think that had a lot to do with him getting the head coaching job.”
Schottenheimer also had a lot of support from players on the team, including quarterback Dak Prescott. Johnson believes that Prescott can mesh into Schottenheimer’s scheme well, but the most important aspect for him is staying on the field.
“Number one thing, Dak’s got to stay healthy,” Johnson said. “If he stays healthy, he’ll have an opportunity to be an outstanding quarterback, but he’s had injuries in the past.”
From a roster construction standpoint, the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles have been compared a lot recently in terms of how they’ve gone about building their respective teams. Both are in different situations in terms of cap and positional need but share common ground in keeping their best players around.
“I think every team has got unique problems as far as paying their players, whether or not it be star players or trying to build a roster,” Johnson said. “Both of them have approached it the right way as far as keeping their great players.”
