Franchise history
The franchise was originally founded in 2036 (S21) season by general managers, gucci and Kyle as the Dallas Birddogs.
2030s
2036
As an expansion franchise, the Birddogs were not expected to compete right away. The teams were not given an expansion draft, but the 2036 DSFL Draft had enough prospects to fill their entire roster. Dallas selected quarterback Monterey Jack as their first ever selection in franchise history. They also grabbed some solid contributors in the draft like White Goodman (16th overall), William Lim (46th overall), and Mike Lee (81st overall). Dallas also made some big trades in the draft. Trading their 2037 5th round pick for Kansas City's 2036 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th round picks. They also traded with the Portland Pythons which would be later named the "most infamous trade in DSFL history". Dallas traded their 2036 25th round pick for Portland's 2036 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 24th round picks, as well as acquiring quarterback Gimmy Jaroppolo. Dallas ended up getting the biggest steal in the draft when they drafted future Hall of Famer Big Edd with the 155th pick in the 20th round.
Dallas had a less than impressive year in 2036 as they went 5–9 and finished last in the SFC. No players on their team really stood out above the rest, but rookie William Lim was disappointing with 46 receptions for 595 yards and a touchdown. Rookie runningback White Goodman had a decent season, finishing with 200 carries for 914 yards (4.6 yards per attempt) and 6 rushing touchdowns. Dallas' biggest accomplishment was their 3-game win streak from weeks 8 to 10 where they had a +29 points differential during the streak.
2037
In the 2037 DSFL Draft the Birddogs made Tyler Mountain their first selection with the 2nd overall pick. Dallas also made a trade late in the draft with the Minnesota Grey Ducks, trading their 2037 7th-round pick and Minnesota's 5th-round pick in 2038 (become 4th if less than 5 rounds and 3rd if less than 4 rounds) that they got from a prior trade, for Minnesota's 2037 5th-round pick. They ended up drafting Byron Blackwell with the pick. Later in the draft, the Birddogs traded with Minnesota again. They traded away Malcom Jenkins for Minnesota's 2037 9th and 10th-round picks, nabbing them Atossa Atlas and Rick Casey respectively.
The 2037 season was a step in the right direction for Dallas, as they finished with a .500 record for the first time in franchise history. They also had their first ever 1,000-yard rusher in Kichwa Jones when he rushed for 1,410 yards on 268 attempts and 8 total touchdowns. Wide receiver Mike Lee took a step in the right direction when he caught 49 passes for 732 yards and 4 receiving touchdowns. Dallas finished 7–7 and finished 3rd in the SFC.
2038
Going into the 2038 DSFL Draft the Birddogs were looking to bolster their offense and take a step forward. With their first selection, they took runningback Zoe Watts. Dallas made a blockbuster three-team trade with Portland and Minnesota. Dallas received Minnesota's 2038 and 2039 5th-round picks, Minnesota received Portland's 2038 5th-round pick and Portland received Dallas' 2038 6th and 7th-round picks. Not a lot of active players were selected due to this trade.
Dallas continued to make strides to becoming a franchise in the race for the playoffs. Dallas finished in 2nd place in the SFC going 9–5 and making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Mattathias Caliban became the first player in franchise history to pass for over 2,000 yards when he passed for 2,325 yards on 219 completions (392 attempts) and 9 passing touchdowns. Zoe Watts became the first rookie in franchise history to rush for 1,000 yards. He had 237 carries for 1,160 yards and 9 rushing touchdowns. Dallas went on to lose to the Norfolk Seawolves in the SFC Conference Championship Game 19–17.
2039
The 2039 DSFL Draft was one of the best drafts to date for the Birddogs. Their first selection was defensive end Raylan Crowder with the 6th overall pick. They also added multiple talented stars like Guy Fields, Milk Mann, and Bob Roberts. Dallas made multiple draft trades. They traded away their 2039 3rd and 8th-round picks for Portland's 2039 3rd-round pick. They also traded their 2039 8th, 10th, and 13th-round picks to the Tijuana Luchadores for their 2039 7th-round pick. They also made a trade with Minnesota for their 2039 18th-round pick in exchange for their 2041 69th-round pick. They selected 14 players in their draft class.
After a very well-fought playoff push the year before, Dallas was disappointing in 2039. Caliban threw for his second straight 2,000-yard season where he threw for 2,330 yards on 233 completions (395 attempts) and 7 passing touchdowns. Zoe Watts rushed for 1,303 yards on 264 carries and 10 rushing touchdowns. Watts became the first player to rush for double-digit rushing touchdowns in franchise history. Dallas finished their season on a 3-game win streak padding their season total of 6–8 and finishing last in the SFC.
