“I’ve been here with Nick since day one, knowing the guys and understanding them, their skill sets, what they can do, and kind of being in a different role to where I saw big picture at all times. And now I can concentrate on certain things. And I’ve been in each room every year, kind of with the receivers and the quarterbacks, and kind of spread my knowledge around. So now it’s just a matter of getting to know the players at a different level, but they still trust me in that capacity and with the background I have with them.” —Kevin Patullo, Eagles Offensive Coordinator

Dallas Cowboys Face Key Roster Questions Ahead of 2025 Campaign
Following the initial offseason workouts, ESPN’s Todd Archer identified major roster considerations for the Dallas Cowboys as they prepare for the 2025 season. One significant question centers on the nickel cornerback position, where Archer doubts the current CB DaRon Bland will move inside due to his value on the outside. The team may need to explore free-agent options if no internal solution emerges.
On the offensive front, starters Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele have secured the left and right tackle positions, but the third tackle spot remains uncertain. Potential candidates include Asim Richards, Saahdiq Charles, and versatile guard Tyler Smith, who might shift outside if injuries occur.
The Cowboys could also look to add depth at nose tackle late in training camp if younger options like Tommy Akingbesote, Denzel Daxon, or Justin Rogers do not meet expectations.
