As all other NFL teams did today, the Cowboys made several cuts and other moves to meet the 53-man roster limit. Some of the players currently on the team, though, shouldn’t feel safe just yet. Dallas will no doubt be actively pursuing some new talent from other team’s … Read more

When you think about training camp battles, which ones are your favorites? The first one that comes to my mind is Dez Bryant vs. Orlando Scandrick. Both guys are competitors on every snap and think the ball is theirs when it comes out of Tony Romo’s golden right … Read more

Lately it seems that most in Cowboys Nation have already moved on from J.J. Wilcox. I’m starting to wonder if we’re not being a bit premature. A fourth-year pro and Dallas’ 2013 third-round pick, J.J. Wilcox is assumed to be the odd man out now that Byron Jones … Read more

By now you know the news, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain has been suspended 10 games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Now a linebacker group which has the talented names of Rolando McClain, Sean Lee, and Jaylon Smith will be lucky if they even get to see one of these players in action for the majority of next season. It’s starting to look rough for the linebackers, and the defensive line will certainly be no better. The back end of the Cowboys defense, while not exactly elite, is possibly the strongest unit on this side of the ball right now. Byron Jones is coming off of an excellent rookie year and is expected to make a big jump in year 2, Orlando Scandrick is returning from his season ending knee injury, and the other corners have shown they can be solid contributors to the defense.

Last week I took a shot at determining who the Dallas Cowboys might keep on their final 53 man roster, and that started me thinking who could possibly be the surprise roster cuts that we have to say goodbye to. Year in and year out, we have to say goodbye to players that we were hoping would be able to make an impact with the team and this year is no exception. Sometimes, these players are veterans that have been with the team for a while or they are rookies, but having to say goodbye to them is sometimes a little hurtful. Below are some of the players that I could see the Dallas Cowboys having to say goodbye to before the 2016 season gets underway. J.

This past week, news broke that the Dallas Cowboys turned down trade opportunities during the NFL Draft for a couple of their running backs. Also, former starting left guard, Ronald Leary, decided to skip OTAs and have his agent request a trade from the Cowboys. Players requesting a trade isn’t uncommon, but teams aren’t going to just give away their players. They want to get as much compensation as possible, but it often comes down to finding a trade partner that is willing to meet your asking price. Trades aren’t quite as commonplace in the NFL as they are in the NBA and MLB, but they still happen.

OTA’s are finally getting started this week which means that position battles and fights for roster spots are about to kick off. Of course, the real battles won’t be decided until Training Camp opens up in late July and the team has a chance to evaluate the players while they play actual football. For a few Cowboys veterans, however, the battles have already begun. Last week, I discussed the ever fading chances for Darren McFadden to make this roster and have an impact in 2016. McFadden is going to have to compete with the 4th overall pick in this years draft, a new free agent addition who is clearly the better scheme fit, and now another 6th round pick who seems to have all the youth, athleticism, and breakaway speed which McFadden lacks.
