Cowboys fans are still uneasy about getting back into a relationship with Kicker Brett Maher. But the veteran has done his part since returning to Dallas and deserves the continue this second opportunity, but that doesn’t mean the team still can’t explore other options. Maher is well-remembered for his first run with the Cowboys from 2018-2019. …
With final cuts and other moves coming anytime between now and Tuesday’s deadline, it’s time to project the Dallas Cowboys’ 53-man roster for Week One of the 2022 season. After three preseason games and all the news and developments from training camp we have a much better sense of some of these players than we did …
The Cowboys improved to 2-1 this preseason with a home win, edging the Seattle Seahawks 27-26 in their final preliminary game. But the real story tonight came from seeing who played and who didn’t as Dallas’ 2022 roster continued taking shape before our eyes. Some players who didn’t really need to stand out anymore still shined. …
News of Tyron Smith’s major leg injury and a 3-4 month absence has been rocking Cowboys Nation for the last two days. While there’s hope that Dallas’ starting left tackle could return in December, or at least for the playoffs, one can’t help but wonder if we’ll ever see Tyron play another snap for the Cowboys. …
The Dallas Cowboys will continue to protect their starters in the preseason, announcing yesterday that most will not suit for Friday’s game against Seattle. But we can expect to see a lot of backup QB candidate Will Grier, who will reportedly get the majority of the snaps versus the Seahawks. Head Coach Mike McCarthy made the …
The Dallas Cowboys have made five moves to satisfy today’s mandatory cutdown to 80 players. The most significant was waiving Kicker Lirim Hajrullahu, leaving Brett Maher as the only current candidate to handle the job in 2022. Additionally, Dallas placed veteran TE Jeremy Sprinkle on injured reserve. They waived WR Jaquarii Robinson and CB Quandre Mosely, …
With just one more preseason game to go and final cuts only eight days away, rosters are taking shape throughout the NFL. We’re back with an updated projection for who will make the Dallas Cowboys’ 53 based on the latest news and what we saw in Saturday’s win over the Chargers. Much of what happened in …
While he didn’t throw a touchdown in last night’s preseason victory, Will Grier still looked like the best backup quarterback on the Cowboys roster. Grier’s performance intensified the competition with Cooper Rush just a little over a week before final cuts. Grier did have the best stats in Los Angeles but that wasn’t a tall order. …
While we don’t know how good the 2022 Cowboys will be yet, it’s at least looking like a well-balanced team. The defense and special teams were the standouts tonight as Dallas earned its first preseason win in a 32-18 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The story of the night, perhaps league-wide, was the two …
As the reigning MVP of the USFL, KaVontae Turpin is no stranger to standing out. He’s doing it again tonight with two first-half touchdowns for the Dallas Cowboys, scoring on a kickoff and punt return and securing his roster spot as we speak. Turpin was signed just before camp to hopefully provide a spark to Dallas’ …
While the Dallas Cowboys came up short in their first preseason game their running backs certainly weren’t to blame. As Rico Dowdle, Malik Davis, and Aaron Shampklin continue battling for a roster spot, a few key factors will go a long way to deciding who makes the team. All three of these RB hopefuls looked good …
Any player taken in the third round of their draft shouldn’t be expected to contribute immediately. But for Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert, the path to becoming a key asset in Dallas appears to have been accelerated. He’s already standing out as one of the team’s most-trusted receivers in these earliest days of his career. With Michael …
The Dallas Cowboys continue their preseason this week with joint practices and a game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night. Mike McCarthy provided updates last night on key players who could be returning to action this week, plus another who may have to miss some time. McCarthy was optimistic that backup QB candidate Will …
The deadline for first cuts isn’t until tomorrow afternoon but the Dallas Cowboys went ahead and made their moves. They’ve waived five players today to satisfy the 85-man roster limit mandated league-wide after tomorrow. Most of the players are waived with an injury tag, meaning that if they clear waivers the Cowboys can then place them …
With almost three weeks of training camp and now our first preseason game in the books, this seemed a lovely time to update the Dallas Cowboys roster projection for 2022. The last projection came out immediately following the draft. Since then we’ve had some interesting developments with free agent additions, injury issues, and risers and fallers …
Cowboys Offensive Tackle Josh Ball was hardly the only poor performer in last night’s preseason loss to the Denver Broncos. He just might have been the worst, though, and now Dallas has to figure out what to do about the swing tackle job going forward. Ball was generally hapless against Denver’s pass rushers and looked completely …
Sitting out of a preseason game is usually detrimental to a player fighting for a job. But for Will Grier, a candidate to be the Dallas Cowboys’ backup quarterback in 2022, not playing last night may have only strengthened his position. With Dak Prescott among the many starters who didn’t suit up in Denver, the night …
The Cowboys sat out 17 starters and other key players in their preseason debut tonight. It showed as Dallas was mostly outclassed by the Denver Broncos and lost 17-7 on the road. Dallas’ backups looked the part in an underwhelming showing. Perhaps the biggest issue, consistent throughout the night, was a high number of penalties that …

Fans of Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, and …
Is the Pro Football Hall of Fame no longer an elite club? One of its premier members thinks so; Deion Sanders made waves yesterday with harsh criticism of Canton’s selection process and what he perceives as watering down the honor of being inducted. If anybody’s qualified to start this discussion it is arguably the best cornerback …
In the training camp battle between kickers Jonathan Garibay and Lirim Hajrullahu, the Cowboys are starting to look like the losers. With both candidates struggling in Oxnard, Dallas is bringing in several kickers today for a workout and possible new options. One of them is a familiar face; veteran Brett Maher. According to one source, Hajrullahu …
