The Cowboys currently sit third in the NFC East, already three games behind the leaders.
In the 2024/25 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys haven’t waited until January to falter; they’ve seemingly done so before November. However, there may be a way out if they’re willing to make some tough decisions.
“Trade, trade, trade,” suggests Michael Irvin as a strategy to move up from third place in the NFC East, with the team struggling at a 3-4 record behind the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.
“It looks bad right now. The only kind of hope they have is if some kind of move is made at the trade deadline. I don’t know, but it’s certainly not going to improve by staying as they are,” he told TMZ Sports.
“They have to do something,” Irvin emphasized. “It’s bad right now. The morale is bad, everybody’s hurting.”
TMZ alerts Mike McCarthy about the possibility of his dismissal.
TMZ has indicated that Mike McCarthy may face termination due to the poor record, which is certainly a concern for Jerry Jones, especially after investing $376 million in new deals for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, while Micah Parsons remains uncertain about his future.
The franchise owner will likely be frustrated that neither player is currently able to spark the offense. Irvin warns that this situation could lead to McCarthy facing the axe as he struggles to find solutions.
“You continue losing, something’s going to have to happen,” Irvin stated to TMZ. “There’s never, ‘It’s okay.’ Nobody is saying that in the NFL.”
He highlighted the pressure on NFL head coaches, stating, “The toughest, most pressurized jobs in this country. Top 33. I’ll give you one, POTUS [President], and we’ll decide that in a few days. But here from two to 33? NFL head coaches. Period. Bar none. You win or your a** is gone.”
