The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2025 season with an entirely different outlook, led by new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Alongside him, the entire coaching unit has undergone major restructuring.
But the offseason for Dallas will be far murkier than just sideline moves. Key contract extensions, the NFL Draft, and free agency decisions are all on the horizon. Still, one analyst has pinpointed a move they’d like to see the Cowboys make to boost their offense.
Dallas Cowboys Predicted to Enhance Offense Around Dak Prescott
The Cowboys’ defense has typically been a stout unit. Last year, injuries played a big part in their regression, with key pieces like Micah Parsons missing extended time. That led to a 25th-place ranking on PFSN’s Defense+ metric, but the unit should stabilize if players stay healthy next season.
The offense, however, could use some remodeling. Without a true running back, their struggles were evident early in the year. After Dak Prescott went down for the season, that problem grew worse, and they finished with the 23rd-ranked unit on PFSN’s Offense+ metric.
According to Sporting News, the solution is simple. Last season, Prescott lacked a consistent throwing option beyond CeeDee Lamb. This time around, they suggest adding Stefon Diggs to the wide receiver room.
“Diggs should get some consideration to stay with the Texans, but with his age (31) and injury issues, Houston may opt for a more youthful route to replace him. He can find a good home elsewhere in the state, supporting CeeDee Lamb at a decent price.”
For the Cowboys, the move makes a ton of sense. Outside of Lamb, not a single receiver even crossed the 650-yard mark, with Jalen Tolbert finishing as the second-leading receiver at 610. Diggs would instantly fix that.
While he missed most of last season with a torn ACL, he still racked up 496 yards in fewer than eight full games with the Texans. As the second option in Dallas, he could thrive with Prescott throwing him the ball.
But if he needs any added motivation, he’d have plenty of familiar faces in the building. “It doesn’t hurt that he can also play with his younger brother, Trevon, in Dallas while reuniting with former Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, the Cowboys’ new passing game specialist.”
Diggs earned all four of his Pro Bowl nods and both All-Pro selections as a member of the Bills. Even in his worst year with the team, he totaled 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns.
