Skip Bayless expresses skepticism regarding Dallas Cowboys' 2026 season

The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2026 NFL season following an offseason marked by defensive acquisitions including Quinnen Williams, Rashan Gary, and Von Miller. Despite these roster additions and the hiring of defensive coordinator Christian Parker, media analyst Skip Bayless remains unconvinced that the team will perform significantly better than last season. Bayless, a long-time supporter of the franchise, projected a 9-8 record for the team while predicting the Philadelphia Eagles will win the NFC East. Last year, the Cowboys missed the playoffs while allowing 30.1 points per game. The team aims to validate its offseason changes beginning with Sunday's game against the Giants. Bayless cited past unmet expectations and the failure to progress since the 1990s as his primary reasons for avoiding optimism despite the recent roster moves.
