This year can be better for the Cowboys, but a few changes need to happen.
It’s that time of year when we all look within to take inventory of some items that we want to change or work on in 2025. We call these “New Year’s resolutions,” which is defined simply as a promise to do something different in the New Year.
The most popular resolution each year is to lose weight or exercise more. You might want to save more money or spend more time with family and friends. Perhaps you have a more specific goal, like running a marathon or climbing Mt. Everest.
But what about the Dallas Cowboys, who will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2020? After three consecutive 12-5 seasons, this is a team that will fail to crack 10 wins. It’s fair to suggest some changes are in order for America’s Team.
So, with that in mind, here are my New Year’s resolutions for 2025 for the Dallas Cowboys.
Decide What To Do With Micah Parsons
This season, which, mercifully, is about to come to an end, we watched the Cowboys wait until the last second to sign Dak Prescott and deal with an extended holdout from CeeDee Lamb. They made it known going into the offseason that those deals were top priorities and yet they waited and waited. And waited.
It cost them big-time. Instead of getting those deals done early in the offseason when they could have had cap space to sign (insert literally any name of note here), they waited until after the free-agency period had basically come and gone to make these deals. Micah Parsons is going into the final year of his rookie contract and, as of now, is due to make a fully guaranteed $24 million next year.
A multi-year extension would lower that number. If they do indeed want to extend Micah, then do it quickly. This doesn’t have to be difficult.
