The Tennessee Titans are hiring Aaron Whitecotton as their new run game coordinator/defensive line coach, a person familiar with the decision told The Dallas Morning News. Whitecotton spent one season as Dallas’ defensive line coach.

The Dallas Cowboys are hoping to keep a veteran assistant despite a push from the Titans.

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had a 2025 season to remember. Coming to The Star, many were skeptical of the move, especially as we didn't see him at all in preseason. We had to wait until Week 1. But once we saw Javonte, it was clear why Brian Schottenheimer got him.

The latest from NFL media analyst Daniel Jeremiah has Dallas taking a pair of SEC defenders at No. 12 and No. 20. Here’s what Jeremiah had to say: Comment: "I expect Dallas to draft an edge rusher in Round 1 (SEE: Pick No. 20 in this mock), but I’d like to see the Cowboys upgrade the secondary, too. Hood would be a plug-and-play starter for them."

The Dallas Cowboys must remake their secondary this offseason, and they could land an ideal safety on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft.

The 2025 defense was so bad it somewhat covered up how poorly the special teams unit played. Changes aren’t expected to that area of the coaching staff, but the group clearly did not perform up to expectation. The kick returning unit went from best in the league to middle of the pack while the punt return average was near the bottom of the NFL.
