2024 was a rough year for the Dallas Cowboys. Not only did they relinquish control of the division back to the Philadelphia Eagles, but they also saw themselves surpassed by another team in the division. After rebuking overtures for two seasons, Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn found his perfect opportunity and relocated to Washington to steward the Commanders back to relevancy.
And he did that with expediency, as the Commanders not only became competitive, they won, and won a lot. They won all the way to the NFC Championship game, a feat the Cowboys haven’t accomplished since the 1990s. So while the Eagles took the throne and became Super Bowl champions, Dallas will have to compete with two elite rosters in 2025. That’s the task that faces the front office this offseason.
But Dallas’ changes don’t happen in a vacuum. The Commanders are also busy looking to improve, so it’s vital to keep track of what transformations their roster has undergone through these first two weeks of free agency. It’s a good time to review what the Eagles have done so far to maintain their status as the best team in the conference.
