The Dallas Cowboys are entering a turbulent offseason, and the ripple effects could significantly impact Dak Prescott. Following owner Jerry Jones’ decision to fire three assistant coaches, reports suggest that as many as 15 players could be at risk of departing, creating uncertainty around the team’s roster stability and future direction.
A Critical Offseason for the Cowboys
The Cowboys’ latest playoff disappointment has triggered swift organizational changes. Jerry Jones, known for decisive and sometimes controversial moves, has once again reshaped the coaching staff.

For Dak Prescott, the face of the franchise, the timing is especially important. With contract situations, free agency decisions, and coaching uncertainty colliding, Dallas could look very different by the time the next season begins.
Why Jerry Jones Fired Three Cowboys Coaches
According to reports, Jerry Jones dismissed three assistant coaches following internal evaluations of the Cowboys’ performance. While the team did not cite a single failure point publicly, the decision reflects broader dissatisfaction with player development, game planning, and postseason execution.
How Coaching Changes Put 15 Players at Risk
Coaching changes often lead to scheme shifts, and that’s where roster uncertainty begins. When new coordinators or position coaches arrive, they typically favor players who fit their system, which can leave others vulnerable.
Reports indicate that up to 15 Cowboys players could be impacted due to:
- Expiring contracts
- Reduced scheme fit under a new coaching vision
- Salary-cap considerations
- Potential trade discussions
Conclusion
The Cowboys are once again at a crossroads. Jerry Jones’ decision to fire three coaches has opened the door to widespread roster uncertainty, placing Dak Prescott in the middle of a potentially transformative offseason.
