There was quite a bit of speculation the Dallas Cowboys decided to release Kicker Dan Bailey to create more cap space. The leading theory of course was that the extra money was to help facilitate a trade with the Seattle Seahawks for their All-Pro Safety Earl Thomas. But, there are other reasons to create more cap …
The Dallas Cowboys made some questionable decisions when trimming down their roster to reach the league-mandated 53-man limit. At the top of the list, or pretty close to it, was the odd decision to keep just two running backs on the active roster. If you’re looking for a reason as to why they chose to go …
With the completion of preseason and team rosters finally trimmed down to the league-mandated 53-man requirement, the start of the 2018 season is merely days away. Football is finally back after what seemed like an eternity of waiting. For us Dallas Cowboys fans, Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers probably can’t get here soon enough. But, …
All NFL teams were required to trim down their rosters to the league-mandated 53 player limit by 4 PM ET Saturday, September 1, including the Dallas Cowboys. This of course is just the beginning. There isn’t a single team in the NFL who won’t have some kind of roster turnover by the end of the season. …
With all of the unknown at the wide receiver position, it’s good to know the Dallas Cowboys have someone like Cole Beasley to lean on. No, he’s not the biggest or fastest WR on the roster, but he is without a doubt the most reliable and has been for some years now. When asked earlier this …
It’s a little unusual to see an NFL player get more than one chance to make the roster after being cut already, but that is exactly the situation Running Back Darius Jackson finds himself in with the Dallas Cowboys. Both Jackson, and a lot of Cowboys Nation are hoping that his second chance to stick goes …
Let me ask you a question… Who was the last wide receiver to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie for the Dallas Cowboys? Did you know the answer off the top of your head, or did you have to look it up? Well, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Wide Receiver …
When on the field and healthy, the Dallas Cowboys revamped first-team offense hasn’t looked that bad in these first few preseason games. That should be encouraging considering the new faces they have who are expected to play large roles in 2018. But, what is even more encouraging is how the Cowboys first-team defense is performing. For …
Now that the Week 3 “dress rehearsal” preseason game is over for the Dallas Cowboys, they now have to turn their attention to figuring out exactly who they want to be a part of their final 53-man roster. They will have some tough decisions to make, but none tougher than deciding what to do with Center …
The Oakland Raiders have surprisingly decided to move on from their 2017 second-round draft pick less than 16 months with the organization. Safety Obi Melifonwu was waived/injured on Thursday in a move that simultaneously correlates with the Raiders signing of veteran Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The #Raiders have waived S Obi Melifonwu, a former 2nd rounder. He’s been injured, …
If you need more proof the Dallas Cowboys offense runs through Running Back Ezekiel Elliott, look no further then the fact they have decided to exclude him from receiving any action in the preseason. It has strictly been a precautionary decision to sit Elliott in preseason, but was it the right move to make? It’s completely …
Recent injuries to Jeff Heath, Xavier Woods, Marqueston Huff, and Jameill Showers (done for the year) have depleted an already thin safety position even more. Unfortunately, depth is in short supply for the Dallas Cowboys, but it has opened the door of opportunity for some of the lesser-known younger defensive backs to show what they can …
Let’s rewind a little bit and head back to the 2017 NFL Draft. The Dallas Cowboys were on the clock with the 28th selection in the first-round and decided to hand in their draft card with Defensive End Taco Charlton’s name written on it. This caused a lot of Cowboys Nation to go into a frenzy …
After losing Jameill Showers to an ACL injury against the Cincinnati Bengals and watching Xavier Woods sustain a somewhat serious hamstring injury that may prevent him from playing Week 1, the Dallas Cowboys added some depth to the safety position by signing journeyman Jeron Johnson. The Cowboys are signing Jeron Johnson, according to a source. He …
Dallas Cowboys Tight End Rico Gathers’ days may be numbered with America’s Team, at least if you put any stock into what Jerry Jones recently said. “He blocks well when he’s blocking the right man,” said Jones, via Jon Machota of The Dallas Morning News. “He’s got enough there, but the angst comes when you’re sitting there looking …
The Cincinnati Bengals surprisingly decided to release their starting Free Safety, George Iloka, not even 24 hours after they defeated the Dallas Cowboys 21-13 in Week 2 of the preseason. A stunner: The #Bengals are releasing starting safety George Iloka, per @MikeGarafolo and me. He’s started every game he’s played in since 2013. Purely a financial …
The Dallas Cowboys had a couple of injury scares this week to Center Travis Frederick and Safety Jeff Heath, two players they can ill afford to lose for any length of time. I know it may sound a little strange to link those two players together, but they are without a doubt detrimental to the Cowboys …
I know it’s a little early in the process to start thinking about roster cuts with a few weeks of preseason still remaining, but I’ve been doing just that. You see, the Dallas Cowboys have very few available spots up for grabs, which means they will have to let go of some talented players. Once cut, …
Earning a spot on the Dallas Cowboys final 53-man roster is going to be a lot tougher in 2018 then it has been in years past. There is no shortage of position battles taking place right now to earn one of those coveted openings, but it’s the battle taking place at receiver that’s gaining steam and …
With all the excitement of the Dallas Cowboys finally playing in a game last week against the San Francisco 49ers, it may have escaped your attention that Dan Bailey remained on the sideline the entire time. He didn’t attempt one field goal or kick off once last Thursday, which in my opinion is a little concerning. …
The Dallas Cowboys unfortunately came out on the losing end of the battle in their first preseason contest against the San Francisco 49ers, despite pretty much dominating the majority of the game. The good news is it was just an exhibition game and means relatively nothing in regards to the upcoming 2018 season. Last week was …
