The Dallas Cowboys are turning the page in more ways than one this offseason. After another year that fell short of expectations, the team is leaning into change-new head coach, new staff, and one of their longest-tenured defensive stars headed elsewhere.
Brian Schottenheimer now steps in as the head coach, bringing a fresh approach and a mostly new coaching staff. Meanwhile, DeMarcus Lawrence, a cornerstone of the Cowboys defense for over a decade, signed with the Seattle Seahawks in free agency, leaving a leadership void on that side of the ball.
But no matter how much changes around him, the conversation still circles back to Dak Prescott.
After suffering a season-ending hamstring injury, Prescott is working his way back, aiming to be ready by the time training camp opens. Team insiders told NFL Network that his rehab is progressing steadily and he’s expected to be at full strength come Week 1.

Engaged to Sarah Jane Ramos and expecting their second child, Prescott is embracing fatherhood as fully as he is his football career. Off the field, he’s found a rhythm-lucrative endorsement deals, steady family life, and a sense of stability that contrasts the chaos around him.
Meanwhile, headlines briefly shifted back to the past when Prescott’s ex-girlfriend, Natalie Buffett, resurfaced in pop culture news.

Conover hinted at the relationship during an episode of Watch What Happens Live, with Buffett reportedly in attendance.
I’ve been seeing someone,” he said on the show. “Everything happens for a reason.
It’s a reminder that while life moves quickly in the NFL, it moves just as fast outside of it.
As the Cowboys attempt to redefine themselves in 2025, Prescott is quietly doing the same. He’s no longer just the quarterback of “America’s Team.” He’s a leader navigating the crossroads of pressure, recovery, and a growing family-all under the spotlight of one of football’s most demanding markets.
This season won’t just be about stats or wins. For Dak, it’s about proving he still has the spark to carry a team-and perhaps even something more.
