CeeDee Lamb

This news comes not long after it was reported the Cowboys put in a request to speak with their former offensive coordinator. The Eagles face the Rams on Sunday in the NFC Divisional Round, but Moore will make time to sit down with his former team before then. Long considered to be a popular candidate to replace Mike McCarthy as the Cowboys' head coach, Moore already as a rapport with several members of the Cowboys' offense, including Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. During his four-year run with with the Cowboys' Moore's offense ranked eighth in EPA per play and fourth in success rate. The Cowboys have other candidates on the radar, but Moore should remain an early favorite for the gig until things have a chance to play out a bit.

The Cowboys and HC Mike McCarthy are "parting ways," a team spokesman said. The two sides reportedly talked about a new deal but couldn't come to an agreement. So McCarthy becomes a coaching free agent after five seasons in Dallas. He went 49-35 with the Cowboys, making the playoffs in three of five years. McCarthy is expected to draw interest from multiple teams, including the Saints and Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Cowboys, meanwhile, join the list of teams that will have a new coaching staff in 2025. They have QB Dak Prescott and WR CeeDee Lamb signed through 2028

Things felt as if they were trending in this direction after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praised McCarthy's efforts late in the year despite the lost season. The fact McCarthy wasn't dismissed by Jones immediately after the season ended was also a good sign for the veteran head coach. McCarthy's contract with the team is set to officially expire on January 14th, giving the Cowboys little time to get a deal done before McCarthy is free to speak with other teams. McCarthy has led the Cowboys to a 49-35 record during his first five seasons, but had three-straight 12-win seasons from 2021-2023. The team has work to do on the defensive side of the, but with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb under long-term deals, the offensive weapons are there to make the Cowboys a contender again in 2025.

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb had a long wait to get theirs last year. Will Parsons be any different?

The Cowboys were looking for production behind CeeDee Lamb all season, and got some with Jalen Tolbert. He caught 49-of-79 passes for 610 yards and seven touchdowns this season. With Brandin Cooks missing time, Tolbert worked both out of the slot and on the perimeter, making plays in the intermediate range for the multiple Cowboys quarterbacks. Tolbert enters the final year of his rookie deal in 2025 and profiles as a WR4 for Dynasty leagues. He has a real chance of permanently taking the Cowboys' No. 2 wideout role, though the team could still look to add to the receiver room in the offseason.
