Cowboys Rebuild Defense for 2026 | Dallas Cowboys News
Description
The Dallas Cowboys are betting big on a complete defensive overhaul this offseason, hiring new coordinator Christian Parker and using five of seven draft picks on defense. They’ve added key talent via trade and free agency — including Rashan Gary, Dee Winters, Jalen Thompson, and Cobie Durant — aiming to fix a unit that gave up 31 points per game last year. If it works, ESPN’s Adam Schefter says Dallas could be a playoff threat in 2026, but the gamble hinges on whether the revamped defense can deliver. With head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s job on the line if they miss the postseason again, the Cowboys are going all-in — and the NFL is watching to see if it pays off.
