Report: Dallas Cowboys will not retain LB's coach George Edwards, RB's coach Skip Peete

The season has ended for the Dallas Cowboys, after being knocked out in the Divisional round by one of their most heated rivals, the San Francisco 49ers. Still, Dallas’s front office has been on the ball getting prepared for the upcoming offseason in preparation for the 2023-24 campaign. And according to NFL network’s Mike Garafolo, the Cowboys have already made a few changes to their coaching staff.

“The Cowboys have begun making changes to their coaching staff. LBs coach George Edwards and RBs coach Skip Peete, who were both on expiring contracts, will not return next season, sources say,” said Garafolo via Twitter.

The big news Dallas fans and the front office are waiting on is whether or not they will be in the market for new coordinators this off-season. Both offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn have had interviews for some of the head coaching opportunities around the NFL. Still, as the NFL world waits for the other shoe to drop on the Cowboys coordinators, Dallas has already hit the ground running in preparation for next season.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper makes case for Dallas Cowboys to take Texas RB Bijan Robinson in Round 1

Mel Kiper thinks Bijan Robinson won’t have to travel too far inside the State of Texas come April.

In his first 2023 NFL Mock Draft, the ESPN guru projected the Texas Longhorns running back to be selected No. 26 overall by the Dallas Cowboys.

“You think about the Cowboys with [Tony] Pollard’s injury, and the UFA. Then you’ve got Zeke. To me, they’ve done it in the past,” started Kiper. “Emmitt Smith’s got three Super Bowl rings. Felix Jones was a one. Zeke was an early one. Now you’re at 26. This is the eighth best player on my board. Remember, I don’t rate players and grade players on philosophy. I wouldn’t take a running back in the first. But in a mock draft you think, ‘Okay, what could happen?’ Dallas, Buffalo, teams like that in the late first would love to have Bijan Robinson. That offensive line can blow you off the ball in Dallas. Buffalo needs to help out Josh Allen with an all-around running back like Bijan. But I think Dallas would be the perfect fit.

“We’ve seen running backs fall in the draft, and that could happen again with Bijan Robinson.”

Even with the possibility of bringing back the aforementioned duo of Pollard and Elliot, Kiper is thinking Robinson could be the running back of the future in Dallas. There would have to be some tough decisions, but it’s certainly plausible.

Perhaps Bijan Robinson could be exactly what the doctor ordered for the Cowboys offense, especially after two disappointing playoff exits over the last two seasons.
