Jerry Jones: Cowboys Defense Ready for Revival

0:00On March 17, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is optimistic about the team's defense heading into next season. He points to offseason improvements, upcoming draft picks, and returning veteran players who missed time last year due to injuries. The Cowboys ranked 30th in total yards, allowed per game at 377 and dead last in passing yards at 251. Earlier this offseason, Dallas made key moves to bolster the unit. They traded with Green Bay for edge rusher Rashan Gary and signed former Ram's cornerback Kobe Durant to strengthen the secondary. Last season's defensive struggles left the team with plenty of room to grow. Jones believes better play could have led to a deep playoff push, and now those injury head veterans are set to return. The Cowboys hold the 12th and 20th overall picks in the 2026 NFL draft. Jones hinted they could target even more defensive talent early. With these changes in place, Dallas fans have real reason to get excited about a revamped defense taking shape soon.
