Upgrading Offensive Line Cowboys Top Offseason Priority?

Upgrading the Offensive Line Cowboys Top Offseason Priority?

Despite the displeasure by the majority of fans, the Dallas Cowboys continue to hold things close to the vest with their approach to free agency. It’s definitely not the most popular approach and tends to drive fans crazy, but things could start heating up now that the free-agent market is starting to settle. Looking from the …

Can Powers of Persuasion Make Will Hernandez a Dallas Cowboy?

Can Powers of Persuasion Help Make Will Hernandez a Cowboy?

There is no shortage of NFL hopefuls who would like to become a member of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2018 NFL Draft. But, not one of them have used their powers of persuasion to make their intentions known as much as former UTEP offensive guard Will Hernandez. Throughout the entire draft process, Will Hernandez has …

Cowboys' Pass Rush: Who Will Be QB Sack Leader In 2017?

Will Another Team Snag David Irving Away From Cowboys?

It was somewhat surprising to learn that the Dallas Cowboys only placed a second-round tender on David Irving. A first-round tender would have likely dissuaded any other team from signing him to a contract and giving up a first-round draft pick, but signing Irving to a contract and giving up a second-draft pick is much more …

Cowboys LB Depth a Concern With Anthony Hitchens' Departure?

Cowboys LB Depth a Concern With Anthony Hitchens’ Departure?

Losing Anthony Hitchens to the Kansas City Chiefs is quite a blow to the linebacker depth for the Dallas Cowboys. During his time in Dallas, Hitchens was pretty much invaluable due to his ability to step in and play whatever LB position was needed in the Cowboys 4-3 defense. Unfortunately, the Cowboys will no longer have …

3 Former Penn State Alumni Cowboys Could Target in Free Agency

3 Former Penn State Alumni Cowboys Could Target in Free Agency

It may come to a shock to some of you, but I wouldn’t expect the Dallas Cowboys to be big-time players in free agency in 2018. Okay, I know it’s probably to be expected since they have developed a “bargain shopping” mentality these last few years in free agency, but that doesn’t stop a lot of …

Cowboys Draft: How Early Will Dallas Draft a WR?

Cowboys Draft: How Early Will Dallas Draft a WR?

It’s looking more and more as if the Dallas Cowboys draft a wide receiver early in the upcoming 2018 NFL Draft. They have already met with several of the top WRs in this draft class, whether formally or informally, which raises the question about exactly how early will they decide to draft a WR? I have …

Dallas Cowboys Should Seriously Consider Making This One Trade

Dallas Cowboys Should Seriously Consider Making This One Trade

The Dallas Cowboys don’t have the best track record when it comes to wheeling and dealing on the trade market. Quite honestly, they have been pretty terrible when acquiring players via trade. Joey Galloway and Roy Williams immediately come to mind, but that shouldn’t stop them from entering trade discussions. Now, I know that any kind …

Cowboys 7-Round Mock Draft Pre-Combine Edition

7-Round Cowboys Mock Draft: Pre-Combine Edition

I thought it would be a good time to do another mock draft for the Dallas Cowboys before the kickoff of the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. Things sometimes get blown out of proportion with the way some of these prospects perform in the “underwear” Olympics. A good performance can improve a players draft stock, but a …

Takeaway Tuesday: Cowboys' Defense Silently Shined, Jeff Heath Saved The Season 1

Will Jeff Heath be a Starter or Backup in 2018?

There seems to be quite a bit of optimism surrounding the Dallas Cowboys secondary after the hiring of Kris Richard. A lot of Cowboys Nation is hoping that he can re-create the “Legion of Boom” here in Dallas, but do the Cowboys have the personnel to do it? There’s no denying the Cowboys have some very …

Cowboys Draft Priority Should be Upgrading the LG Position

Upgrading LG Position Should be Cowboys Top Draft Priority

The Dallas Cowboys are quite proud about the offensive line they have put together over the years. Their OL is headlined by three former first-round draft picks who have turned into All-Pro players, and one player who should’ve been a first-round pick if not for an unfortunate situation that had nothing to do with him that …

Should Cowboys Sign This RFA to a Contract Sheet?

Should Cowboys Sign This RFA to a Contract Sheet?

Fortune favors the bold. It’s a rough translation of an old Latin proverb and the mantra I believe the Dallas Cowboys should indoctrinate this offseason. I think it’s time the Dallas Cowboys start to make a few bold moves. I truly believe they are close to competing for a championship title and one or two offseason …

Could This Draft Sleeper be Cowboys Next WR1?

Could This Draft Sleeper be Dez Bryant’s Successor?

One of my favorite parts of the NFL offseason is jumping into the draft process and studying the next group of incoming rookies. I don’t pretend to be a professional scout, but I do trust my own analysis for the most part. I find myself right about these prospects more times than not, but no one …

Could Former Division Rival be Cowboys' OG Solution?

Could a Former Division Rival be Cowboys’ LG Solution?

When it comes to prioritizing the Dallas Cowboys offseason needs, offensive guard is definitely near the top of the list. Opinions will certainly vary, but for me, solidifying the offensive line with a new starting left guard is the top priority for the Cowboys. I know many of you will disagree and believe the Dallas Cowboys need …

Will Kavon Frazier be Cowboys Version of Kam Chancellor?

The Dallas Cowboys have been trying to emulate the Seattle Seahawks defense for several years now. The hiring of Kris Richard to become the defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator could make that infatuation turn into reality. There is reason to believe that Kris Richard will have quite a bit of influence on the defensive …

3 Reasons why Cowboys Change Their Free Agency Approach

3 Reasons why Cowboys Change Their Free Agency Approach

The Dallas Cowboys can’t seem to find the happy balance when it comes to their approach to free agency. They have tried bringing in the big money free agents only to fail, and they have tried the thrifty spending approach, only to fail again. Something needs to change. I’m personally hoping that that change comes this …

Cowboys Potential FA Target: Former Patriots RB Rex Burkhead

Cowboys Potential FA Target: Former Patriots RB Rex Burkhead

The Dallas Cowboys could certainly use some much-needed depth at several positions heading into the 2018 season. I believe running back is one such position, even though on the surface it would seem as if Ezekiel Elliott and Rod Smith are more than capable of handling the workload. Ezekiel Elliott will once again handle the lions …
