The Dallas Cowboys Recent Moves Signal a Bigger Cowboys Reset Than We Think

Author: FanSided January 1, 2026 Duration: 29:52

The Dallas Cowboys officially cut Trevon Diggs, and the move changes everything about how this team should approach Week 18 vs the New York Giants and the 2026 NFL Draft.

In this episode, we break down why the Cowboys moved on from Diggs, what it means for the secondary and salary cap, and how this decision signals a bigger organizational reset. We also dive into the draft implications of a Week 18 win or loss, including how draft position could impact Dallas’ ability to add elite defensive talent this offseason.

Should the Cowboys really be trying to win a meaningless Week 18 game? Or does losing to the Giants actually help the franchise long-term? We lay out the argument, explain the math behind draft positioning, and discuss why short-term pride might be hurting Dallas’ future.

Topics include:

  • Trevon Diggs being cut and what went wrong
  • Cowboys roster construction and cap philosophy
  • Why Week 18 vs the Giants matters more than fans think
  • How draft position shapes the Cowboys’ rebuild
  • What this means for Dallas in 2026 and beyond

If you’re a Cowboys fan trying to understand where this team is headed, this episode explains why the Diggs cut is bigger than one player — and why Week 18 could define the next era of Cowboys football.
