Cole Wisniewski is worth paying attention to as the Dallas Cowboys look at what this defense needs to become under Christian Parker.

If Dallas is serious about improving, which it looks like the team is, this is the type of safety who makes sense for the new defensive coordinator.

We will here draft hype on several players, but that’s just it, hype. The Dallas Cowboys have to start thinking about fit when it comes to the changes that need to be made in 2026.

Christian Parker Changes the Narrative for the Cowboys Defense

The Cowboys haven’t lacked talent...

The Dallas Cowboys saved the best for last. Following the in-person interviews with Daronte Jones and Jonathan Gannon, the Cowboys had their final scheduled interview with Christian Parker on Wednesday. Dallas was so impressed that they decided to call off the search. They had their guy.

On Thursday, it was reported that the team and Parker had agreed to a deal that would make him the next defensive coordinator. At just 34 years old, Parker becomes the youngest DC in team history. Parker has his work cut out for him trying to turn around a historically bad Dallas defense that...

Say what you want about the Divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. They were anything but boring.

Even the beat down the Seahawks put on the 49ers was fun.

Unless you are a 49ers fan and quite frankly, too bad, it was fun to watch.

The final four teams are in. And can someone explain to me how the Patriots keep getting these kinds of breaks in 2025?

The softest schedule in recent memory, if not the entire history of the NFL.

Then they draw a weakened Los Angeles Chargers team in the wildcard round.

As if that wasn’t bad...

Steelers hire Mike McCarthy: Former Cowboys, Packers coach to succeed Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh – Bryan DeArdo, CBS Sports

After a year out of football, former Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy lands on his feet in Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached an agreement to hire Mike McCarthy as their next coach, the team announced. McCarthy is set to succeed Mike Tomlin while becoming only the team’s fourth head coach since Chuck Noll was hired way back in 1969. A Pittsburgh native, the 62-year-old McCarthy took the 2025 season off after spending the previous five seasons as the...

History

Caleb Downs grew up in Hoschton, Georgia and became the do-everything star at Mill Creek High School, lining up all over the field and making plays as a tackler and ballhawk. He comes from a real football family and he’s the son of former NFL running back Gary Downs, and his older brother is NFL wide receiver Josh Downs....

All year long we’ve looked at the rookie class and given previews and reviews on each player for every game of the season. Now let’s look back the season in its entirety and breakdown each rookie and how they performed. Let’s continue with seventh-round nose tackle Jay Toia.

Season stats- Total Snaps: 89, Total Tackles: 3, Total Pressures: 1, QB Hits: 1

Toia’s rookie season in Dallas was almost entirely a redshirt year. He appeared in only five games, recording one solo tackle and two assists, with no sacks, no forced fumbles and no other stats on the box score....

Mike McCarthy is back in the NFL.

It was reported on Saturday afternoon that the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to hire McCarthy to succeed Mike Tomlin. Incidentally McCarthy’s Green Bay Packers beat Tomlin’s Steelers in Super Bowl LXV which took place in Cowboys Stadium, a building he would one day call home. One that is now officially a thing of the past.

McCarthy’s career has had a lot of weird tie-ins along those lines and another could be at play in the near future with Aaron Rodgers, his former quarterback in Green Bay, contemplating what he will do after just...

The NFL season is down to the final four.

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots kick off the fun at 2pm in Denver against the now Bo Nix-less Broncos.

Denver, now led by Jarrett Stidham at quarterback, look to stave off the surging Patriots and earn their first trip to the Super Bowl since 2013.

That 2013 season was a masterclass of offensive leadership by then QB Peyton Manning, and the Broncos have been trying to get back to that since then.

The fun continues at 5:30pm when Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams travel North on the...

The Cowboys’ most expensive decision in the 2026 offseason will come at wide receiver. Do they re-sign George Pickens for what is sure to be one of this year’s most lucrative non-QB contracts? Do they utilize the franchise tag, which would cost them even more in salary cap space? Or do they let Pickens walk, losing one of their most important offensive weapons and creating a new, significant offseason need?

Under Contract

CeeDee Lamb – If Pickens does wind up on another roster in 2026, at least you still have a franchise WR to lean on. While it was...

The Dallas Cowboys did not have the season that anyone expected, and they missed the playoffs despite having a relatively healthy roster.

It is the first season since QB Dak Prescott was drafted that ended in a losing record without the quarterback suffering an injury that caused him to miss games.

No, Prescott was fully healthy, and except for a four-week span where WR CeeDee Lamb was out with a high ankle sprain, the offense remained intact throughout the season.

WR George Pickens picked up the slack, and a revamped rushing attack also helped keep the Cowboys afloat.

The offense...

New Dallas Cowboys defensive Coordinator Christian Parker brings a fresh new look to the Cowboys defense. Something retread Matt Eberflus did not, even though the optimism was high before the season started.

A coach as well respected by players as Christian Parker should come in and completely change the culture of a defense that looked outmatched every game. Which led to a lack of confidence and that is never beneficial.

The Eberflus-led defense was record-setting in a bad way and most of this record was caused by coverages the players did not fit or were not taught well enough to...

The Dallas Cowboys wide search for a new defensive coordinator is over, with the news coming across on Thursday afternoon that Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Christian Parker was the man for the job.

Two years removed from seeing their own former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore win a Super Bowl within the division for the Eagles, and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn leave for the Washington Commanders and take them to the NFC Championship game in year one as their head coach, the Cowboys decided to dip their toes in these NFC East waters. They pulled from...
