With an aggressive off season and draft, the Cowboys 2025 record could be?

[12+88=7]

If you can predict free agency and the draft, buy a lottery ticket immediately.

 

[diamonddelts]

17-0

What's wrong with the rest of you?

If we attack it, which is what the OP suggested, then we should be able to make a significant move. There are some strengths on this team. I really think the right choices in FA at DT, OL and one other spot with a strong draft could turn this team into a legit contender.

Stop doing drugs.

We attack FA with a force we've not seen in years, and we have an impressive draft, what record can you see the Cowboys having??? We have the core to make things happen, we just need other pieces to put this puzzle together!!!

What's an ideal record for the Cowboys if this were to pan out! (Please keep it positive, why complain all off season??!)


Please give your thoughts!

This is like fantasizing about a woman you'll never get. I'd rather focus on what record we'll have with the actual FA and draft we'll have.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

The Eagles singed, drafted and traded for 7 of their starters in 2024
RG Becton FA
RB Barkley FA
OLB Baun FA
S Gardner-Johnson FA
WR3 Dotson was a trade before the trade deadline.
DB MItchell Draft
DB DeJean Draft

We could probably draft 2 starters maybe 3

Right now our DTs under contract are
Mazi Smith and Justin Rogers
Our LBs are
Damone Clark Nick Vigil Marist Liufau Buddy Johnson and Overshown with his secon injury a pretty serious one in as many seasons.

Our DEs are
Tyrus Wheat Marshawn Kneeland and Parsons

The right side of our OL is in flux
Martin retired Hoffman played pretty well and Steele struggled

Our CBs are
Bland with Diggs Carson and butler all on IR Diggs with his second knee injury.

Our RBs are
Vaughn and Luepke

We probably need 4 or more starters in addition to the 2 draft picks to make a push. I don't see it happening.

The only starter we've acquired that produced in recent memory was Amari Cooper and we gave up a first for him.

I think Vigil is a FA as well.

9-8

 

[Kingofholland]

10-7...or 11-6.

Probably a realistic outlook with a strong offseason considering not long ago we won 12 games with a similar cast.

 

[Bobhaze]

Without seeing any kind of a plan, what we get in the draft, and if they do anything in FA, it’s it’s almost impossible to know.

 

[Gameover]

Doesn't have to be aggressive. The Eagles won because of their core group. Barkley fell into their lap.

We need for last years draft to produce. Sam Willams to be a decent force as a rusher. Add a guy in the middle. Draft one immediate I'mpact player.

the record ... between 11 and 13 wins

Cowboys were a special teams mishap and Marcus Mariotta staying on the bench from a 9-8 season with all the things that went against the cowboys and a brutal schedule.

Cows get KC at home .. win
Cows get Den on the road ... Cows haven't beaten Den since ironically the last season the Cows won the SB. So if the Cows beat Den could signal good things ahead. But bet Den until they do
Cows get Charger ... Nothing says Herbert is overrated like Herbert being winless against the Cowboys! Cowboys simply don't beat true elite QB. Cowboys will have to dramatically improve their physicality if they are to beat Harbaugh's Chargers. Last preseason Harbaugh's Chargers flat out bullied the Cows. Something that had me worried about the then upcoming season
Cow get Raiders .. Won't be easy.
Cows get the Mighty NFC NORTH(at least in 2024) I expect a regression to the mean in 2025
Cows get GB at home. Most of these games are close despite the playoffs a couple years ago. GB is not that good. The QB is not the next in the pantheon. Cowboys have a habit of losing to GB. Dak has a habit of throwing multiple Interceptions vs GB. Run, baby, run
Cows get Minny at the crib. Cows have dominated Minny in recent history. I will have to see how good the GOAT hand-off specialist from Michigan is before I can make an accurate prediction on their future
Cows finally have to go to Detroit. I see a slight regression for the Lions. They got talent but like that one girl in the back of the school bus said about me in 1991... he alright but he ain't all that! Thats how I feel about the Lions
Cows get Chicago in Chicago. Chicago, like New Orleans, is a place I do not like to play

11-6

Maybe peaking at playoff time?!

 

[KingCorcoran]

5-12

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

The Cowboys could go 17-0 and still lose immediately in playoffs. Dak is a deer in the headlights in the playoffs. Doesn’t matter how stacked the team is and this has been proven over and over in post season . Dak is a loser and always will be. Extending him was a waste of 4 years.

 

[Gameover]

We have a FO problem, first and foremost.

Differing philosophies. We build through the draft.

 

[Gameover]

Dak is a deer in the headlights in the playoffs

Maybe but GB could've scored 75 points if needed in the last playoff loss

Cowboys were out rushed 555 to 203 in the three playoff losses prior to GB. Is losing the rushing battle by over 300 yards a sound strategy in your book for playoff success ?

 

[Gameover]

5-12

They were nearly 9-8 this season

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Just good enough to miss a top 10 draft pick

Lol

 

[ShiningStar]

we cant predict anything until HC JJ gets word from GM Jerry who gets word from Owner Jerry about what he wants to do this year.

FA and draft will tell us where the team is heading.

Dont be disappointed if some of know the outcome yet again.

im not saying im hoping for doom and gloom. so far i liked the off season, i think JJ shut up this year and let his HC have more say than usual. And no, not everything is a knock on everyone else, maybe JJ had a Scrooge moment, i dont know, but this is the first time in 15 years i really like how he went about the staff. i dont have to like the staff, thats fact, (And i do for the record) BUT he let have Schott have more say than ive seen in a long time. To me, thats what you allow your HC do.
