In this episode of The Big D Breakdown, we’re digging deep into what might be the most pivotal season of Dak Prescott’s career. After a nightmare 2024 campaign marred by injuries and regression across the offense, the Dallas Cowboys are looking to bounce back—and all eyes are on their franchise quarterback.

We break down how a healthy Dak showed up to OTAs ready to reclaim his spot among the league's elite, why Pro Football Focus has him as a top contender for NFL Comeback Player of the Year, and how a new weapon in George Pickens could unlock a whole new dimension to the Cowboys' offense.

The Dallas Cowboys are staring down a crucial offseason after finishing the 2024 season with a disappointing 7-10 record. While the offense dealt with its share of setbacks, the real concern heading into 2025 is whether this team has done enough to fix its glaring weakness on defense—specifically in the trenches. The Cowboys made their first major move by locking in defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a four-year extension. From there, the front office quietly added reinforcements, signing Dante Fowler, Kenneth Murray, Solomon Thomas, and Jack Sanborn to help patch up a run defense that ranked near the bottom of the league last year.

Despite these additions, questions remain about whether Dallas has the size and power up front to handle the physicality of modern NFL offenses. With a 2025 schedule that features some of the league’s best offensive lines—including two matchups against a revamped Washington front—this group could be exposed early and often if improvements don’t continue. A potential trade for veteran defensive tackle D.J. Reader has been floated as a game-changing move, offering Dallas the kind of size and presence the line sorely lacks.

In this episode, we break down what the Cowboys have done, what they still need, and why this offseason might make or break their defensive identity heading into the new year.

In this episode of The Big D Breakdown, we’re talking about what might be the best Dallas Cowboys offseason move in years: the blockbuster trade for wide receiver George Pickens.

We break down why Pickens is the most electric WR talent Dallas has had since Dez Bryant, how Brian Schottenheimer’s new culture-first leadership is already paying off, and what this means for Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and the Cowboys’ 2025 offense. Is Pickens a risk? Sure. But in the right environment — which Dallas seems to be building — this could be the steal of the decade.

Plus, we take a look at the 2025 Cowboys draft class and why this new locker room energy may be exactly what the franchise needs to finally get over the hump.

👀 Tune in as we dissect the trade, the leadership dynamics, and whether this new Cowboys era could be one for the books.
