THE Dallas Cowboys have made a big shake-up as a signal of the new coach’s intent.<\/p>\n

And the head coach has made a non-negotiable change behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old has changed the positions of his Dallas Cowboys players’ lockers.<\/p>\n

And he has placed Dak Prescott right next to Micah Parsons in the center of the room.<\/p>\n

The move is seemingly designed to establish the pair as leaders of the team.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer confirmed the decision was made between him and his coaching staff, without player input.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved some guys around,\u201d the Cowboys coach said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, I did, along with the help of the staff.<\/p>\n

“They don\u2019t really get a say in that, but there\u2019s a method to the madness.<\/p>\n

“I think when the guys went into the team room for the first time, I made them all stand up after they sat down.<\/p>\n

“I let them sit down and I had them stand up and move seats.<\/p>\n

‘I’m serious’ – Dak Prescott tipped for Presidential run in NFL retirement because of Dallas Cowboys QBs ‘likeability’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Why? It\u2019s a new year. It\u2019s 2025. We\u2019ll do that in 2026, we\u2019ll do that in 2027 and beyond.<\/p>\n

“When you start a new year, do something different. Change something up.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s something that\u2019s talked about, thought about, but there\u2019s a method to the madness at times.”<\/p>\n

Defensive superstar Parsons is yet to agree to a new contract with the team.<\/p>\n

Parsons is headed into the final year of his rookie deal in 2025.<\/p>\n

He is seeking a new contract worth in excess of $40 million a season.<\/p>\n

Owner Jerry Jones publicly revealed an offer had been sent to Parsons’ camp.<\/p>\n

Cowboys icon Tony Romo told The U.S. Sun he thinks there’s a “great chance” a new deal will be agreed.<\/p>\n

“The Cowboys are not in the\u00a0business\u00a0of letting great players leave the building,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I think you’ll see Micah sign a long-term contract soon and both sides will be happy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
