NFC East: 2025 NFL Season Outlook

Cowboys

Dallas has made a mess of the Micah Parsons situation. The cold reality; he’s under contract for 2025 at roughly $24 million, and it doesn’t look to me like a long term deal is coming. That puts the ball squarely in Parsons’ court- will he suit up in a week or is willing to sit out and absorb possible fines and suspensions from the team? Offensively, the Cowboys haven’t made meaningful upgrades. They did add George Pickens which I like, that experiment is to be determined. Expectations for a better campaign that last year feel optimistic at best.

Eagles

It’s lonely at the top, but Philly is built for it. The team is a well oiled machine, they might start slow—thanks to limited preseason reps for starters—by midseason, Weeks 8 through 10, it’ll be clear: the Eagles are still the defending champs, and they’re still the team to beat.

Quarterback drama is brewing in New York. Cutting Tommy DeVito was a mistake for New York. Jaxon Dart looks like a star in the making. If the offense sputters early, fans will be calling for Dart sooner than later. Add in one of the toughest schedules in the league and a front office on expiring deals, and the pressure is dialed all the way up.

Commanders

National media sees Washington in its Super Bowl window—and the logic tracks. Jayden Daniels is still on his rookie deal, giving the team flexibility to invest elsewhere, which they’ve done. But here’s the twist: they enter the season with the oldest roster in the NFL. Still, as the year kicks off, Washington looks like the clear No. 2 in the division maybe even the conference. The ceiling is high, but the clock is ticking.
