Right now the Cowboys have two kickers signed with almost no NFL experience.

After finishing his rookie contract last season, Leighton Vander Esch signed a one-year deal to return to Dallas and hopefully convince someone that he deserves a long-term deal.

Just before the draft, Stephen Jones declared that the Cowboys aren’t done with 2022 free agency.

While the NFL Draft always looks like a big party in its presentation, not everyone comes out of the weekend happy.

Some positions feel a lot better …

With the 2022 NFL Draft finally upon us, could Dallas be looking to put the same focused energy into the other side of the ball with this rookie class? The Cowboys had an usual bevy of draft picks in the …
Almost two weeks ago, Jerry Jones said to media that he would consider trading up from the 24th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft if the right prospect fell into Dallas’ range. Today, just a few days from the NFL’s marquee offseason event, the Cowboys are rumored to be considering Oregon pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux as …
Kickoff and punt return duties are niches that often don’t get talked about much leading up to the NFL Draft.
