Expectations for the Cowboys are actually pretty modest this year — at least outside of the building.
Following a 7-10 season that saw Dallas finish third in the NFC East, the team has since moved on from head coach Mike McCarthy and inserted Brian Schottenheimer. But that isn't stopping a star member of the Cowboys offensive line from thinking they can still hoist the Lombardi in 2025.
Asked about his prediction for the season as training camp begins, two-time Pro Bowler Tyler Smith didn't shy away. Telling reporters, "Super Bowl champions … That's always the expectations."

Outside of Micah Parsons' contract situation, Dallas is also facing a looming contract extension for Smith who could become the league's highest-paid guard whenever that deal takes place.
As ESPN's Todd Archer notes: "The Kansas City Chiefs signed Trey Smith to a four-year deal worth $94 million. The Eagles' Landon Dickerson was the highest-paid guard at $21 million per; now it's $23.5 million for Trey Smith. Would the Cowboys be wise to match that? Go a little higher in the average? Probably so."
"Smith recently made an agent change, moving to Joe Panos. In 2014, Panos was Tyron Smith's agent when he signed his eight-year extension. The Cowboys had exercised Tyron Smith's fifth-year option in 2015, but signed him in training camp. So there's a good working history between the club and agent."
Smith has been awesome in his three seasons with the club after being drafted 24th overall out of Tulsa. But with so much of the franchise's expenses tied up in two (and soon, three) players, it's going to be interesting to see how it shakes out.
The Dallas Cowboys have not reached a Super Bowl or even an NFC Championship in three decades now. Will that finally come to an end in February?
