"I'm helping out with the offense in general," Dorsey said. "I'll be able to go where needed in terms of helping out position groups and things like that."

The former NFL offensive coordinator emphasized his broad responsibilities will include "tying the passing game with the run game" while focusing on pass concepts. Rather than being confined to a single area, Dorsey described his role as "more of a big picture" position.

Dorsey joins the Cowboys following a brief stint as offensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns in 2024.

Before that, he helped orchestrate a potent Buffalo Bills offense from 2022 to 2023, where his units ranked fourth in total yards in both seasons. Under his guidance, the Bills scored at an impressive clip, finishing second in points per game in 2022 and sixth in 2023.

His quarterback expertise stems from working with top NFL talent like Josh Allen and Cam Newton. He coached Newton for five years (2013-2017) in Carolina and also played quarterback in the league from 2003-2008, and won a national championship in college with the Miami Hurricanes in 2001.
