The Dallas Cowboys are leaning all the way into physical football — and these projected new starters fit that reflection.

The Dallas Cowboys are opening the 2025 NFL season on the road against a division rival, and it appears that is also how they will end the regular season campaign.

The Steelers and Cowboys shocked the NFL with Wednesday's George Pickens trade. Here are trade grades for both teams after the big move.

The Cowboys will hope to avoid another embarrassment against the Eagles; Both of their matchups in the 2024 season were lopsided Eagles victories with a combined score of 75-13. However, the Cowboys were missing quarterback Dak Prescott in both games due to injury. The Cowboys' week 1 matchup against the Eagles will kick off at 7:20 p.m. CT on NBC.

Of course, Dallas has been frugal and reluctant to spend in free agency to upgrade its roster. The retooling process will continue during the 2025 NFL draft, where the Cowboys have ten selections.
