As part of the coaching staff changes under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, the Cowboys on Monday let three assistants go, two people with knowledge of the decision told The Dallas Morning News on Monday.
Defensive passing game coordinator/safeties coach Andre Curtis, secondary/cornerbacks coach David Overstreet II and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi were let go by the organization.
Curtis and Overstreet led a defensive back group that gave up the second-most touchdowns (35) in the NFL in 2025. The secondary was hampered by injuries to both projected starting corners, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, along with safeties Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker.
