The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a rough 2025 campaign in which they finished with a losing record and once again missed out on the NFL Playoffs, but believe there are no limits to what they can achieve in the upcoming season.
Tight end Jake Ferguson recently spoke about his team's nickname "GOTI" and their belief in their abilities to succeed, informing CBS Sports that the Cowboys "don't have a ceiling" with all the talent they possess. "GOTI stands for Greatest Offense There Is," Ferguson explained to CBS Sports. "That starts top down. Dak [Prescott], the leader of this team, the leader of this offense. I don't know how many other quarterbacks are getting the whole receiving corps out on a throwing trip— you know, we went to Park City, but it was everybody included; we had 100 percent turnout."
"It's not just that we're out there working. We're also out there trying to build that brotherhood that we're working on each and every day," he said off the offseason bonding trip.

"But we knew what we could do. We have all these weapons. We got [George Pickens]. We got Turp [KaVontae Turpin]. We got Ceedee [Lamb]. We got Tay. ... We got the big dudes up front. We got so many weapons, and honestly we sit here, and we're like, 'We don't have a ceiling,'" Ferguson said.
He admitted the team was good last year, but had "so much" they had to fix going into this offseason. Ferguson said while they're "good," he believes they "can do so much more" if they can execute properly.
Last season, the offense wasn't necessarily the Cowboys' issue, as they ranked second in the league with 391.9 yards per game. Only the Los Angeles Rams, led by NFL MVP Matthew Stafford, ranked ahead of Dallas.
Ferguson was the team's third-best pass catcher behind Pickens and Lamb. He had 82 receptions for 600 yards and eight touchdowns in his fourth season in the league.
Meanwhile, Dallas' defense ranked third-worst in the NFL, giving up 377 yards of offense to opponents on average. Basically, opponents had no issues scoring with ease against this team.
Coming into this season, there are high expectations for a Cowboys team that fans always want to see make the NFL Playoffs. They last reached the postseason after their 2023 NFL season, but then lost to the Green Bay Packers, 48-32, in the NFC Wild Card Round.
Dallas finished at 7-9-1 last season, and according to Fox Sports, sportsbooks project the team to win fewer than nine games in the coming season. Anything beyond that would be the team overachieving, and if they do, they could be looking at another trip to the playoffs.
