Will 2026 be the year the Dallas Cowboys finally return to glory?
This past season was one to forget for the Cowboys -- especially for club owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, who wasted no time in sending his fans into a frenzy by trading All-Pro linebacker, Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers before the season even began.
Parsons' exit severely hindered the Cowboys' defense, who finished near the bottom of the league in nearly every statistical category...but that could be changing, according to recent comments from the club's outspoken owner, who says he plans to spend more money than usual this off-season.

"I would bet that we will spend more money in free agency than we have," Jones said during his media availability during Friday's NFL Draft Combine.
Jones continued his comments by admitting he's let Cowboys fans down during their recent struggles, saying he plans to bring at least one more title to Dallas before his time around the club comes to an end.
"I really can't accept just the thought of winning one Super Bowl and then what?" Jones admitted. "I've got more time on my clock than that in my mind. And so I don't see it that way. I see a chance to put a team together and basically be knocking at the edge and get another one or get a chance at a another one."

More News: Cowboys Could Suffer Tough Blow During NFL Offseason
Despite a stellar season from franchise quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys found themselves on the outside looking in from the NFL playoffs. One-year after signing a historic four-year, $240 million extension with the club, right before a season where he only started eight games due to a torn hamstring — Prescott put his injury issues in the rearview mirror and started all 17 games, this past season, throwing for a career-high 4,552 yards to go along with 30 touchdowns.
While Prescott and the offense did their part in 2025, the Cowboys' defense (which traded All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons prior to Week 1) ranked 30th in the NFL, allowing 377 yards per contest, only better than the Cincinnati Bengals and NFC East rivals, Washington Commanders.
If Jones is to be believed, the big money spending for the Cowboys should be used to put the D back in 'The Big D.'
