Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus’s future with the Dallas Cowboys is suddenly in question after key defensive improvements sparked debate. With recent success from players like Donovan Ezeiruaku and rumors swirling around potential free-agent pass rushers such as Jaelan Phillips and Joey Bosa, the Cowboys may be entering a pivotal Super Bowl window—but will coaching changes disrupt their momentum?

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down the Cowboys’ options at defensive end, including the possible return of veteran names like Jadeveon Clowney and Dante Fowler, and the 2026 NFL Draft’s deep defensive line class.

The discussion also tackles Trevon Diggs’s uncertain future in Dallas as young cornerbacks like Shavon Revel and Caelen Carson step up. Can Eberflus and this emerging defense lead Dallas to new heights, or will the front office make a seismic offseason move?
