FRISCO \u2014 The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0have begun a crucial offseason with a major change, promoting Brian Schottenheimer to head coach after deciding to end things with\u00a0Mike McCarthy. This decision signals a new era here at The Star, but comes at a risk with a first-time head coach taking over.<\/p>\n

But it is a risk Jerry Jones and his team are willing to take nonetheless. Since that initial decision came down, Schottenheimer and the Cowboys have moved quickly to assemble a strong staff around the head coach that at a minimum has eased some of those concerns.<\/p>\n

Free agency and the\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0linger not too far in the distance though and the Cowboys will need to utilize those two events to shake-up a lackluster roster.<\/p>\n

Micah Parsons’ contract extension will also need some attending this summer though the objective of this offseason centers on finding and adding talent, not settling with what is already available.<\/p>\n

Myles Garrett Dark Cowboy<\/p>\n

By Tony Fisher<\/p>\n

There are some free agents and draft prospects that would satisfy those needs without a doubt. But one move above all cements the team’s claims of winning now.<\/p>\n

Vaunted edge rusher Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0and will seek a new home, likely with a contender, this offseason. The Arlington, Texas, native has not requested a homecoming but one would be embraced by both sides if it happened.<\/p>\n

NFL.com Dan Parr’s latest\u00a0mock draft\u00a0predicts just that with the Cowboys shipping off their No. 12 pick and a future first to acquire Garrett. Given the way Dallas handled their offseason a year ago, this is a pretty bold assumption.<\/p>\n

However, it is the exact move that sends a message to the team, their fan base and the rest of the league about the Cowboys’ intentions heading into next season.<\/p>\n

Garrett immediately makes the Cowboys one of the best defenses in football in partnering with Parsons who has confessed he will take more money if that means forming this partnership.<\/p>\n

The former NFL Defensive Player of the Year will not be easy to come by and the Cowboys will have to outbid other teams for his services. But a big splash move like this one feels well in order for Dallas.<\/p>\n
