The NFL playoffs continue on with just a small handful of teams still alive. Yet for a large number of franchises, it’s time to move into offseason mode. Realistically, some of them have already done so — especially those who have made changes at the head coach or general manager positions.

That’s partially why he opted to retain a piece of McCarthy’s coaching staff by promoting offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to be his next head coach. The Cowboys already have Dak Prescott in place at quarterback along with wideout CeeDee Lamb as the franchise’s top skill-position player. Defensively, Dallas will look to retain star pass rusher Micah Parsons, so there are some intriguing building blocks for Schottenheimer to work with in 2025. The key will be keeping players healthy as numerous key Dallas
