Heading into the 2025 season, the Dallas Cowboys are a team that will be looking to get back on track in the NFC. Based on recent social media activity, one key member of the roster seems to be getting along with the team's major offseason addition.
After Dak Prescott went down with a season-ending injury, the Cowboys' championship aspirations quickly withered away in 2024. Ahead of the star QB's return, the front office made some upgrades to the cast of weapons around him. Along with adding backfield depth in Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, Dallas made a big splash by trading for wide receiver George Pickens.
Pickens had his off-field issues with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but his talent is undeniable. He is a big and athletic wideout capable of ripping off a big play at any moment. Now with a change of scenery and an MVP-level QB, Pickens has a chance to get his career back on track and be a key piece on a contending team.

With the addition of Pickens, the Cowboys have arguably one of the top wide receiver duos in the league. Along with their talent levels, they appear to be building a good bond as well.
Over the weekend, Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb posted a series of photos on his Instagram. Most featured his life outside of football, but he did peel back the curtain on his offseason training. Among the pictures was one of him and Pickens after getting in some work together.
Since being drafted 17th overall in 2020, Lamb has emerged as a key piece of the Cowboys' offense. Even with Prescott going down midway through the year, he managed to rack up his fourth straight 1,000-yard season in 2024.

With their new-look offense, the Cowboys have a chance to become a dark horse contender in the NFC. Their offense has long been based around the passing game, and this is sure to continue with the high-level duo of Lamb and Pickens. Though his production might dip with another dynamic receiver entering the fold, the former should remain as one of the league's top talents at his position.
In a few short weeks, the Cowboys wideouts will have more time to mesh on and off the field during training camp.

Jason Kelce Makes Exciting Personal Announcement on Saturday
Jason Kelce Makes Exciting Personal Announcement on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While Jason Kelce has transitioned into a new chapter as a TV personality and co-host of the "New Heights" podcast with his brother Travis Kelce, his ties to Philadelphia remain as strong as ever after spending 13 seasons with the Eagles. Advertisement Over the past few days, Kelce wrapped up his annual fundraiser, Team 62, which supports the Eagles Autism Foundation. Now in its fifth year, the event takes place in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, and is a community favorite. On Saturday, Kelce shared a heartfelt post about the event and made a major announcement—Team 62 raised over $1 million for the Eagles Autism Foundation, surpassing its original goal. "The last couple of days were intense, but by far our most successful Shore Birds event to date!" Jason wrote. "Because of everyone's efforts and support we were able to achieve our goal of raising over 1 MILLION DOLLARS for The Eagles Autism Foundation. He continued, "As always, Sea Isle City showed up and showed out. Tons of people came and spent their time and money in supporting this mission, and we couldn't be more grateful to all of you that attended and made these events special!" Jason Kelce has been a cornerstone of the Philadelphia community ever since he was drafted in the sixth round out of Cincinnati back in 2011. He went on to become not only one of the best centers in the NFL but also the heart and soul of the Eagles franchise, playing a pivotal role in their 2018 Super Bowl victory. Former NFL player and ESPN commentator Jason KelceDenny Medley-Imagn Images That passion for the city and the organization still runs deep. Throughout the week, Kelce had the support of several current and former Eagles stars at his fundraiser, including Cooper DeJean, recently retired Brandon Graham, fan-favorite "Big Dom," Sydney Brown, and countless other Philadelphia legends.

Will Chiefs Still Be A Defense-First Team In 2025?
Will Chiefs Still Be A Defense-First Team In 2025? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs, over the past couple of seasons, have transitioned away from relying on fireworks on offense with Patrick Mahomes to leaning on their defense. Advertisement No longer do the Chiefs regularly score 30+ points and blow teams out; instead, Spagnuolo's defense holds teams to roughly 20 points per game, and the offense does just enough to win. Granted, two Super Bowl wins and making another appearance in three years show this is sustainable, but some want the Chiefs to revert to the swashbuckling offense they once had. But we know that might not be the case, and defensively, as we look ahead to 2025, what would be the best-case scenario for Spagnuolo's defense? "The Chiefs had a top-10 defense last season," Bleacher Report writes. "Chris Jones and George Karlaftis anchor a strong pass rush, Trent McDuffie is a star in the secondary, and the linebacker corps fits Spagnuolo's system to a tee. The best-case scenario would see the existing talent and familiarity be slightly better next season." Dec 26, 2021; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Chris Jones (95) and defensive end Frank Clark (55) and quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) pose for pictures as the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers winds down at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.© William Purnell-Imagn Images Last year, the defense allowed only 19.2 points per game (ranked fourth), 101.8 rushing yards per game (ranked 25th), and a third-down conversion on 43 percent of attempts (ranked 24th), so there is plenty to work with. Advertisement Plus, the Chiefs' defense, much like Mahomes, has a knack for making a play when the team needs it, whether that be a sack, a PBU, or a forced fumble. If the defense can at least replicate its efforts from last season, and the offense, with a host of weapons returning, can improve, this Chiefs team will be in good shape come playoff time. But let's make it clear, the Chiefs aren't driven by Mahomes anymore - it's the defense that sets the tone.
