Cowboys Face Crucial Questions Before Training Camp
13 Jul
Summary
- Christian Parker, new coordinator, lacks prior experience.
- Spann-Ford's blocking could impact Ferguson's role in 2026.
- Dak Prescott healthy, running a new scheme for the season.

The Dallas Cowboys are heading into training camp with critical questions surrounding potential improvements. Owner Jerry Jones hopes recent changes will enhance on-field performance and end the team's 30-year championship drought.
Christian Parker, a 34-year-old with no previous defensive coordinator experience, is tasked with leading the defense. The team has also added veteran players and sees Dak Prescott healthy and operating under a new offensive scheme.
Concerns also exist regarding CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens' chemistry and long-term commitment, especially after Pickens was franchise-tagged instead of negotiating a new deal.
Jake Ferguson's role as tight end might decrease, as Brevyn Spann-Ford, an undrafted free agent, is noted for superior blocking and could significantly influence the Cowboys' offense in 2026.
