The Dallas Cowboys’ Front Office has pretty much seen and done it all in the 2025 offseason so far. They’ve been trading, signing free agents, and drafting.
Compared to last year, it seems they decided to actually go “all-in” this season.
They have made three trades to land receiver George Pickens, cornerback Kaiir Elam, and linebacker Jack Sanborn. They added two free agent running backs in Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders.
And Dallas beefed up its offensive and defensive lines in the first two rounds of the draft.
They still have to navigate Micah Parsons’ contract extension.
But, at the very least, the Cowboys have had a much better offseason in 2025 than they had last year. But just exactly where does Dallas’ Front Office rank in the division?
Philadelphia Eagles
Yes, Dallas has been busier this year. But they are still well behind the Eagles.
Philadelphia has a General Manager who actually looks at his roster on a daily basis with an eye on what he needs to do to improve it.
Then Howie Roseman actually goes out and does it.
And the funny thing is, he doesn’t do the bargain bin shopping approach either. Yet, somehow, the Eagles never seem to run out of cap space every year.
In the 15 seasons since he was promoted to General Manager, Philadelphia has played in three Super Bowls and won two of them.
The Eagles have won the division in six of those 15 seasons. Clearly, their Front Office is the cream of the division’s crop.
Washington Commanders
Back in 2023, an ownership group, led by Josh Harris and Magic Johnson, bought the Commanders from Daniel Snyder.
They let the 2023 season play out as they got their bearings. In 2024, they served notice that this was a serious franchise once again.
They quickly cleaned out the coaching room and revamped the roster.
Getting the best college quarterback in the draft in 2024 in Jayden Daniels didn’t hurt either.
Washington and Dallas are technically tied for second in the division’s front offices. But the Commanders get the tie-breaker for heading in the right direction in a short period of time.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have had the same owner since 1989. While Will McClay’s presence has been felt in the draft, it’s still Jones Inc. running the show.
A 29-season championship drought is why they sit below the Commanders here.
That and huge question marks on the roster, as well as uncertainty over how well, or how poorly, they drafted in April are also holding them back.
If the offseason moves pay off, and if those draft picks overperform, the Cowboys will leapfrog Washington and close the gap considerably on the Eagles.
New York Giants
The moves the Giants made in 2024 might handicap this team for years.
They allowed a solid RB1 to walk out the door in Saquon Barkley in order to keep quarterback Daniel Jones. Jones didn’t even make it to the end of the season before getting released.
New York is in the cellar in this category.
And don’t be surprised if they rank fourth in the division across the board. Especially at the end of the 2025 season.
a Dallas Cowboys fan, since the 70’s Jerry Jones is a terrible G.M.
Being a fan since the 70s apparently hasn’t helped your understanding of football and common sense.
They traded for Kenneth Murray, not Jack Sanborn!! And they made more than 3 trades…. They traded for Joe Milton too!!
And as far as the rankings go, you can’t put Washington ahead of Dallas just because they had one good season!! If they can repeat again this year then they have a case, but they only had one good season, and it really wasn’t as good as it looked!! But they did make it to the championship game, so they can get credit for that, but they only won 12 games last year and some of them games were last second lucky wins!! Like the one game they won with a hail Mary when the ball bounced off the defenders hands and went into Noah Brown’s hands for a touchdown!! That was a lucky win, and there were other games they were lucky to win!! Half of their games were won by one score, and most of them were by a field goal or less!! They just had luck on their side!! So again, I wouldn’t put them in front of Dallas until they can prove they can have a winning season more than once or twice in a row!! But having just one winning season isn’t enough to say they have a better front office than Dallas does!! Dallas always has a winning team on the roster!! They had 3 straight 12 win seasons, and if it wasn’t for all the injuries last year chances are they would’ve had another 12 win season!! So I think Dallas should be second on this list!! And as far as Philly goes, they look smart right now, but it won’t look that way in a few years!! When they have all them contracts that are back loaded and all those void years they have cap space added to, it’s eventually gonna catch up to them and it’s gonna have them in the whole for a long time!! They look good for doing it right now cause made it to the Super Bowl a couple times, but like I said, it’s gonna catch up to them and they’ll pay for it in the long run!! Some people say it’s worth it to win a Super Bowl or 2, but then you win that Super Bowl and it takes years before the team can even get a team good enough to make it to the playoffs because they’re still paying players they owed from years before when they were actually winning!! So like I said, it may be worth it right now, but in the long run, it’s gonna bite them in the a$&, and you won’t hear about them making the playoffs for years after that!! But until that time comes, I guess I will have to agree that for now, while they’re winning, they do have the better front office!!
But my list would be like this
Philly
Dallas
Washington
New York
And I think Dallas is closer to Philly than you have them!! They’re always fighting for the NFC East title, and when they’re both healthy, they always split wins each season, so I think they’re closer to being tied for 1st place than it is Dallas and washington being tied for 2nd!!
BS.
