The cast of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders now: Six months after filming, here's what they've been up to
The episodes picked up just before the final round of auditions for the 2024–2025 squad and followed the chosen candidates through training camp, emotional cuts, the official team reveal, and into the heart of the NFL season.
The NFL season wrapped up in January 2025, meaning some time has passed since filming ended.
From DCC Senior Director Kelli Finglass to the veterans, rookies and some of our fave alums, here's what the squad are up to now.
Kelli Finglass, a former DCC from 1984 to 1989, became director in 1991 and transformed the squad into a global brand. Known for her high standards and no-nonsense leadership, Finglass expected nothing less than excellence from every cheerleader this season.
Since filming ended for the second season, Kelli has been spending time with family. She posted a picture from her son Ryan's 31 mile marathon run, writing: "A regular marathon wasn't enough… first Ultra Marathon in the books! ✅ Proud of @ryan_finglass #31Miles #LegsOfSteel."
She also appeared on Beavers Wealth Management podcast alongside Ryan for a Mother's Day special episode, and responded to rumours she'd had a face lift in a video posted to her Instagram.
Judy Trammell, a DCC alum from 1980 to 1984, became head choreographer in 1991 and has led the squad's iconic routines for over four decades.
In March, she announced she's expecting her fifth grandchild sharing a picture of her son and his partner at their baby gender reveal.
A month later, she celebrated her first born's birthday, sharing a throw back snap on her grid.
Before joining the DCC in 2022, Amanda danced for the Golden State Warriors and overcame a training camp cut with determination and grit.
Since filming, Amanda has been travelling the world with her husband Ralph. They've been everywhere from Switzerland to Lake Como and have been sharing lots of scenic photos on their Instagram accounts.
In May, she attended Dallas Cowboys 2020-2024 cheerleader Jessica Bowman's (now Lanham) wedding.
Alongside a picture of her and Ralph, she wrote: "The best night celebrating the @jbo97 and @lanham5 🥹 isn't the bride just perfection? Wow!"
Once known as Caroline's little sister, Anna Kate stepped into her own as a seasoned DCC member after a strong rookie year.
She turned 25 in June and was surprised with a party from her boyfriend Michael Snyder.
As well as turning a year older, Anna has been travelling and doing press for the show, recently travelling to New York along with the rest of the squad.
Armani has been booked and busy since filming, working with several brands including Vaseline and Shea Moisture. She's also been doing a bit of travelling, and attended Jessica Bowman's hen weekend in Cabo, Mexico.
She moved home in May and shared the process to her 67,000 followers.
The longest running veteran to try out for the year, Chandi has been keeping busy since season two ended. She recently had a little hair makeover, dying her dark locks honey brown.
She attended the baby shower of Dallas Cowboys 2020-2024 cheerleader Mckenzie in February.
After making the team last year, Reece returned as a veteran for season two, now happily married to her college sweetheart and first ever boyfriend, Will. She celebrated her one-year anniversary in April, sharing a picture from her wedding day with a sweet message.
"I'm so thankful God placed you in my life and to have been a part of an incredible vendor team to document your beginnings as husband and wife" she wrote."It's been such an honor to watch your journey and all the amazing things God is doing through you both."
The same month, she sat down with Will to talk to Valley View Baptist Church youth.
A fan-favorite rookie candidate last season, Charly was the 2023-2024 squad's very last cut.
Since filming, she's been doing a bit of travelling, as well as spending time with fellow rookies Ariel and Ava.
One of the breakout stars of season one, Kelcey spent five seasons with the squad from 2019-2024.
Following her retirement from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in 2024, Kelcey shifted her focus to her full-time career as a pediatric nurse. She also got engaged - and later married - to Nate Crnkovich.
Although she's stepped away from the spotlight of professional cheerleading, she continues to stay involved in the dance and wellness world and she's still very close to the team, recently attending Jessica's wedding.
Kalina joined the DCC in 2019 and became a four‑year veteran.
After taking a break, Victoria relocated to New York to chase her dream of joining the Rockettes, and now shares her life through fitness, dance, and mental‑health advocacy.
She regularly posts videos of her choreography on Instagram and recently shared a video of her last dance for DCC to promote the second season.
America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheeleaders season 2 is available to stream on Netflix.

49ers comment on severity of Jauan Jennings' calf injury
San Francisco fans are anxious to get the news that fifth-year pro Jauan Jennings is back working in practice and seriously ramping up his return for the 2025 NFL season. But, 49ers fans will have to wait longer for that bit of good news. And until he's back suited up and catching the football, there will be a faction of the fan base that wonders if there's more to the story. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked on Monday if there is any concern from the coaching staff regarding the severity of Jennings' calf injury and if it could play out similarly to Christian McCaffrey's calf injury and Achilles tendonitis that morphed into much worse. "No. McCaffrey's was Achilles Tendonitis that had been bothering him for a while and never got better. Jauan is a calf that he missed all last training camp with. It is something that we don't think will be too serious, but it's bothering him now. Depending on how much he misses, I mean, I always want guys out there. It helps him, it helps the team. But, Jauan was alright last year too missing some time," Shanahan said. It's in line with the tone that Shanahan struck following the 49ers' preseason opener against the Denver Broncos on Saturday night. Shanahan was asked point blank if Jennings' absence is more about securing a new contract. "No, not at all. And this is actually why Jauan missed OTAs is because of his calf. It's the same injury he had last year during training camp, which made him miss a couple weeks during training camp last year. "We didn't get him until the end of training camp last year and it's the same thing on the MRI and it's the same thing he's going through. But, hopefully we'll get him back sooner than later," Shanahan said. Jennings led all 49ers wide receivers in receiving yardage last season with 975 yards on 77 catches with six touchdown grabs. As he enters the final year of his current deal, Jennings has reportedly requested a new contract from the 49ers this offseason.

NFL executives rank former LSU football QB Joe Burrow in the same tier as Patrick Mahomes
Former LSU football quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels earned high praise from a survey of 50 NFL coaches and executives. In the 2025 preseason quarterback tiers released by The Athletic, Burrow and Daniels landed in tiers one and two, respectively. Burrow was a unanimous tier one choice for the first time, while Daniels set a record for the ranking series with the highest debut by a second-year quarterback. Burrow and Patrick Mahomes were both unanimous selections to the top tier. Heading into his sixth NFL season with the Cincinnati Bengals, Burrow led the league in attempts, completions, yards, and touchdowns last year. One head coach told The Athletics that Burrow is "the closest thing to Joe Montana that I have seen. A defensive coordinator said of Daniels, "What I respect most is it never seems too big for him." Daniels earned 17 tier one votes in 2025, which breaks a record for second-year players set by C.J. Stroud last year. He took the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship as a rookie and won the league's rookie of the year honor. Burrow and Daniels both had illustrious careers at LSU, each winning the Heisman Trophy. Burrow led LSU on a 15-0 national championship season in 2019, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest college quarterbacks of all time.
