At the onset of the 2025 NFL futures odds campaign, there’s a new look for the Dallas Cowboys. Following a lost 2024 season ruined by injuries, the Cowboys parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy and replaced him with Brian Schottenheimer. However, many fans and gamblers believe it was a downgrade. The Cowboys gave the impression that they would be moving differently this offseason. Correlate that just before free agency, Dallas proactively re-signed defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a four-year, $80 million contract before free agency began. However, they are still slow-playing long-term extensions for their best players to their detriment.

All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons still doesn’t have a long-term deal. Despite both sides expressing a desire to finalize one.
Dallas was more active in free agency in 2025, which is a low online wagering bar to clear. Since they spent the least amount of money in the entire league last offseason, $20.47 million. Their activity resulted in the additions of one-year stopgaps and depth chart fillers instead of impact contributors. In turn, the possible exception is edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., who led the Washington Commanders with 10.5 sacks last season.
Also, the Cowboys lost crucial 2025 NFL futures pieces in slot corner Jourdan Lewis, edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, and running back Rico Dowdle in free agency. Meanwhile, future Hall of Fame right guard Zack Martin retired.
Dallas Cowboys Team History
Starting in 1966, the Cowboys became the most successful franchise in the NFL. From 1966 to 1985, the Cowboys missed the NFL Playoffs just twice. Dallas won two Super Bowls in that span out of five appearances. President Tex Schramm, scout Gil Brandt, coach Tom Landry, and quarterbacks Don Meredith and Rodger Staubach were the key contributors to those Glory Years. So too was the Doomsday Defense the stuff of legends in those days.
However, by 1989, the Cowboys had run out of steam and money. Jerry Jones purchased the franchise and hired Jimmy Johnson as the team’s head coach. After going 1-15 in 1989, the Cowboys won the Super Bowl in 1992 and 1993. After Johnson left due to an ego struggle with Jones, caretaker coach Barry Switzer led Dallas to its last Super Bowl title in 1995.
Namely, Jerry Jones has made the Cowboys the most valuable franchise in sports. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame due to his dynamic business acumen. But as much as Jones wants it, he still gets no credit for his football acumen and does not deserve it. Consider that Dallas has never made a Super Bowl without a Jimmy Johnson-constructed team.
