2 Cowboys predicted as 2025 season award winners – Mario Herrera Jr, Inside The Star
2025 has the potential to be a big year.
Dak Prescott: Comeback Player of the Year
After an injury-riddled and inconsistent 2024 campaign, Dak Prescott enters 2025 with a clean bill of health and a lot to prove.
The Cowboys’ veteran signal-caller is in prime position to recapture his Pro Bowl form, loading up for a season that will remind fans and critics alike why Dak was once considered one of the league’s elite quarterbacks.
Under new HC Brian Schottenheimer and a retooled offensive line offering better protection for Prescott to throw to weapons like CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and TE Jake Ferguson, he is set up for efficiency and production.
Dak’s strong leadership and internal motivation, fueled by constant media scrutiny, are driving forces behind what could be a 4,000+ yard, 30+ touchdown season.
The “comeback” label isn’t just about physical recovery. It’s about narrative redemption.
If Prescott can lead the Cowboys back to double-digit wins and a postseason berth, Kahan believes the award will be his to lose.
Titans head coach says what Cowboys fans already knew about Tony Pollard- Jerry Trotta, The Landry Hat
It seems Jerry made the correct move.
Cowboys already vindicated for not extending Tony Pollard in 2024
Callahan’s vision for the Titans’ backfield proves he doesn’t view Pollard as a workhorse. That became evident in Pollard’s final season with the Cowboys in 2023.
A fourth-round pick in 2019, Pollard’s most efficient seasons came when he operated in a committee with Ezekiel Elliott. Pollard averaged 5.5 and 5.2 yards per carry in 2021 and 2022, respectively. While he logged 193 carries in 2022, Elliott still led the charge with 213 carries.
While Pollard was potentially hampered by offseason ankle surgery for the first half of the 2023 season, his efficiency plummeted to 4.0 yards per carry.
In addition, his 2.92 yards after contact per attempt was comfortably the worst of his career and he produced 10 fewer explosive runs relative to 2022 on 58 fewer carries, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required).
It’s no wonder Callahan wants to get Tyjae Spears more involved. A third-round pick in 2023, Spears was limited to five games last season due to injuries. Despite being in and out of the lineup, Spears carries a lot of momentum into 2025 after he scored four TDs in the final three games last season.
Cowboys’ third-round pick nominated as ‘surprise’ breakout rookie- Tyler Reed, Sports Illustrated
It would go a long way in helping Dallas.
“The team was ecstatic to see Revel fall to the second round in April’s draft, but didn’t pull the trigger. Somehow he made it to the third round. With Dallas clearly looking to end their investment in Trevon Diggs, Revel will be given every possible chance to prove he’s a capable boundary corner once he’s given the green light following his ACL recovery that might delay his debut until October. Once he makes it to the field though, fans shouldn’t be surprised if he’s one of the better rookie DBs in the game,” writes Drummond.
Revel battled injuries for the majority of his college career. However, his junior season at East Carolina proved that the potential is there for Revel to be a physical addition to the Cowboys’ secondary.
Did Cowboys waste $7.5 million in acquiring this former 1st-round pick?- K.D. Drummond, Cowboys Wire
Only time will tell.
Profile
The Cowboys already have a star linebacker; DeMarvion Overshown just can’t stay on the field. The former Texas Longhorn is a heat-seeking missle, capable of sideline-to-sideline pursuit and rushing the QB. But with his 2025 debut date up in the air due to a second ACL injury, the club had to bring in some help. Along with Overshown’s injury, the team’s leading 2024 tackler Eric Kendricks was seen as a perfect fit for Mike Zimmer’s group, but apparently wasn’t of interest to Eberflus.
Dallas swapped inconsequential Day 3 picks with Tennessee to bring in Murray, who played just one season for the Titans. The cost was more financial, as he’s set to count $7.4 million against Dallas’ 2025 cap due to $6 million in base salary and $1.5 million in bonus money. Dallas also signed LB Jack Sanborn as a free agent, and there’s a strong possibility he is given the authority of starting middle linebacker that will allow Murray to be in more a outside backer role.
