The Dallas Cowboys have named Matt Eberflus as their new defensive coordinator, aiming to enhance their defensive strategy for the 2025 season. Eberflus previously led the Chicago Bears and is known for implementing aggressive pressure schemes. A significant challenge lies with star linebacker Micah Parsons, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Parsons has been a standout performer, amassing 52.5 sacks in his four seasons with the team. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones emphasized Parsons' crucial role in their plan, hinting that his contract situation could affect the team's success under Eberflus' new system.
