Todd Archer of ESPN outlines what needs to happen for the Cowboys in order to be contenders in 2025.
How do the Cowboys close the gap on the Eagles?
Brian Schottenheimer will look to do what only Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey, Bill Parcells and Wade Phillips did in Cowboys history: get to the playoffs in his first season as head coach.
The health of key players (quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, cornerback Trevon Diggs) is a must, but the Cowboys will have to do more than just hope for improvement from within and the draft. They will need a proven pass rusher opposite Micah Parsons, a No. 2 receiver opposite Lamb and help on the offensive line. They need to keep some of their own (Osa Odighizuwa, Jourdan Lewis) and be surgical in free agency.
A quick reminder: The NFC East has not had a repeat champion since 2003-04. — Todd Archer
