Ken Dorsey joining Cowboys coaching staff as pass-game specialist, report says :: Dallas Morning News
In the NFL coaching ranks since 2013, Dorsey was most recently the offensive coordinator in Cleveland, and Buffalo prior to that. He didn’t make it to the end of either of the previous two seasons, but he will get a new opportunity under Brian Schottenheimer. After some initial confusion about his job title, it appears Dorsey will be the Cowboys’ pass-game specialist in 2025.
Report: Cowboys to hire college WR coach who Cooper Kupp calls ‘the best there is’ :: Cowboys Wire
Junior Adams hasn’t worked in the NFL before, but he’s helped send several A-list receivers there. Over the course of his 20-year college career, he’s helped develop Jalen McMillan, Rome Odunze, Puka Nacua, and the MVP of Super Bowl LVI, Cooper Kupp. Kupp says no coach he’s ever had has impacted him more than Adams, who will now serve as wide receivers coach in Dallas.
UTEP losing defensive coordinator JJ Clark to the NFL :: Miner Insider

Report: Cowboys to bring back former player, assistant coach for third stint with team :: Cowboys Wire
Carlos Polk played for the Cowboys in 2008, mostly on special teams. He came back to Dallas in 2019 as a special teams assistant coach.

Schottenheimer promotes current staffer to key role :: Todd Archer
CeeDee Lamb reacts to unfounded Cowboys, Micah Parsons trade rumors :: The Mothership
Super Bowl Week brought buzz that the Cowboys brass was internally discussing the possibility of shopping their best defensive player in at least a generation. Lamb wasn’t having it. “Y’all aren’t tired of this?” Lamb asked on social media, clearly frustrated by the speculation. “Every offseason, top of the charts. Let’s just win ball games and that’s with 11!” Parsons has made it known he would like to get a cap-friendly deal done sooner rather than later.
Cowboys legend Dez Bryant criticizes franchise’s recent moves: ‘They need to get out of their comfort zone’ :: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Don’t count Bryant among those who like the Cowboys’ conservative moves of late. The former receiver says he would have liked to see Ben Johnson, Deion Sanders, or Kliff Kingsbury named head coach in Dallas. He thinks the rebuilding phase they’re in is wasting the likes of Lamb and Parsons, with the team unwilling to go get quality complementary pieces. “It feels like everybody is in a comfort zone, and that’s not what we need. We got the biggest franchise in sports, and we’re acting like we’re this poverty franchise for whatever reason.”
Eagles win Super Bowl: Ranking possible opponents for 2025 NFL opener as Philly unveils championship banner :: CBS Sports
The Commanders and Lions seem like the obvious contenders to play visitor at Lincoln Financial when the 2025 season kicks off in September. But the visual of the Eagles unveiling their second Super Bowl championship banner in a decade while the Cowboys watch from across the field would certainly make for must-see-TV. Putting the next chapter of the always-bitter rivalry in Week 1 primetime, with Philly showing off their new rings and Dallas debuting their new coaching staff, would be a surefire ratings bonanza.
Dallas Cowboys aspire to build an elite Eagles-level offensive line :: Cowboys Wire
The Eagles’ O-line made things easy for their plethora of playmakers on Sunday night. New Cowboys OC Klayton Adams, new OL coach Conor Riley, and returning TE coach Lunda Wells (who also has OL experience) should be laser-focused on building a similar unit in Dallas. Look at what keeping Jalen Hurts clean did for Philadelphia; just imagine what Dak Prescott could do with comparable protection and time to throw. And if the Cowboys can then add a top-tier running back talent…
Eagles owner believes OC Kellen Moore is leaving to become Saints coach :: The Athletic
Jeffrey Lurie said shortly after his team’s Super Bowl victory that he expects to lose his offensive coordinator to a top job in the NFC South. “Unfortunately, we’re gonna have to wish him the very best with New Orleans,” the owner said. “Very smart coach who was able to adapt our offense week to week (as) needed to win games.” He was once the heir apparent in Dallas; it looks like the league will finally see what Moore can do as a head coach… only it will be for the Saints.
Cowboys dead last in NFC spending at this position, just $3 million before free agency, draft :: Cowboys Wire
The Cowboys’ only running backs under contract (Deuce Vaughn, Malik Davis, Hunter Luepke) account for just $3.09 million in cap space. And they may not all return in 2025. As good as Rico Dowdle was when finally given the chance, the team is likely looking for someone with more juice to lead the ground attack. Maybe they go after a free agent like Jordan Mason, but they’d still be expected to look to the draft to add a pair of young legs on rookie-contract numbers. Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, and TreVeyon Henderson could be names to watch.
2025 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Super Bowl predictions for entire first round :: The 33rd Team
Kyle Crabbs likes Dallas to bolster their pass rush as the team prepares for possible life without DeMarcus Lawrence. Marshall linebacker Mike Green doesn’t have good tape; he has great tape. His size may not fit the prototype, but he led the FBS with 17 sacks last season and was the Sun Belt Conference’s Player of the Year. He could be starting as an edge rusher by the end of his rookie campaign.
WATCH: Did Cowboys legend Jimmy Johnson just retire from TV in weird A.I. segment before Super Bowl? :: Cowboys Wire
Rumors have been swirling about the 81-year-old coach stepping back from his TV job. After a four-minute video retrospective of his football career told through cringey artificial intelligence and fancy computer animation, the NFL on Fox crew showered him with an in-person eulogy. But when asked if it was goodbye, all a teary Johnson could muster was, “One day at a time.” Let the speculation continue.
