Time will tell if the Dallas Cowboys' decision to hire Brian Schottenheimer as head coach was the right move to get them past their playoff hump.

However, for the Cowboys to truly maximize Schottenheimer’s tenure, they must hit the ground running in both free agency and the NFL Draft in the 2025 offseason.

Many of these players are at the tail ends of their careers, including Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Brandin Cooks—veterans the Cowboys should consider parting ways with for financial flexibility and because of growing injury concerns.

On the other hand, younger players like Osa Odighizuwa, KaVontae Turpin, and Chauncey Golston have shown enough promise and production that would be hard to replace.

As the Cowboys look ahead to Schottenheimer's tenure, these decisions will be pivotal in shaping the roster and positioning the team for future success.
