Running back is one of the Cowboys’ strongest positions ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft. But though RB is not a major concern for Dallas this offseason, the contracts of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard could cause it to get more attention next week than we’d otherwise assume. With one of the league’s best one-two punches …
Judging by the comments on our articles and tweets the last few months, most of you are clearly frustrated with how Dallas’ 2022 offseason has gone so far. Given the current mood of Cowboys Nation, tone-deaf comments yesterday by Stephen Jones serve more as gasoline on the fire than providing whatever comfort or confidence he’d intended. …
While he was on the Cowboys’ 53-man roster throughout the 2021 season, Quarterback Will Grier never saw a single snap. Now getting his first offseason with Dallas, the former 3rd-round pick is in a much better position to compete for the backup job and make his presence known. Grier was drafted in 2019 by the Carolina …
Wide receiver is a hot topic for the Cowboys as we get ready for the 2022 NFL Draft. But while Dallas does have some legitimate concerns at the position, one asset that seems summarily dismissed in the discussion is second-year prospect Simi Fehoko. After a quiet rookie season, is Fehoko now being unfairly ignored as part …
Assessing the Cowboys’ needs for the 2022 NFL Draft can be a difficult balancing act. Not all roster positions carry the same weight and some aren’t as clear as others based on what we know of the current talent. Another factor to consider is players who are expected to miss games in 2022; how much could …
It was reported yesterday that Dallas police were seeing to question Kelvin Joseph regarding his involvement in the murder of Cameron Ray on March 18th. Today, Joseph’s lawyer confirmed that the Cowboys cornerback was a passenger in the car from which Ray was shot but was not the shooter or personally armed. Joseph’s involvement in Ray’s …
Drafting kickers isn’t common; only eight have been selected by the Cowboys in over sixty years. But given Dallas major need at the position in 2022, could this upcoming draft be the ninth time it happens? Of those eight kickers drafted during franchise history, only two have come during Jerry Jones’ ownership. They weren’t far apart; …
Probably the biggest theme to the Cowboys 2022 offseason so far has been their lack of aggressiveness in free agency. But could Dallas be saving its big moves for the upcoming NFL Draft? Jerry Jones comments earlier today may be a clue. Speaking to the media during a press conference regarding a new business venture, Jerry …
Yesterday the Cowboys confirmed jersey number assignments for five new players and changes for eight returning players ahead of the 2022 season. With this year’s draft soon to come, current talent is no doubt wanting to claim their numbers of choice before the next influx of rookies join the organization. Don’t worry, none of the marquee …
There are many different ways that the Cowboys could go with their first three picks in the 2022 NFL Draft. Depending on available talent at positions of need, could a run-stuffing defensive tackle be in the mix? If so, UConn’s Travis Jones could be on Dallas’ radar Friday night. While Georgia’s Jordan Davis has become a …
Tight end is a position of great interest for the Cowboys as we get closer to the 2022 NFL Draft. How much Dallas prioritizes TE in the draft will be decided by several factors, one of which is how ready they are to rely on trust third-year prospect Sean McKeon with a larger role. McKeon joined …
Tyron Smith has been a fixture at left tackle for the Cowboys for over a decade. But after issues with injuries and missed games continued in 2021, how solid is Smith’s position beyond the upcoming season? Could Dallas start preparing for Tyron’s exit through one of their 2022 draft picks? As has been well documented by …
Going into the offseason we knew that the Cowboys were going to be up against the salary cap. Though semi-predictable contract shedding happened with Amari Cooper, Blake Jarwin, and Greg Zuerlein, one player who was surprisingly unaffected was Cornerback Anthony Brown. The veteran appears safe to return in 2022 and gives Dallas a fairly loaded CB …
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter and others, the Cowboys were among teams inquiring about veteran receiver DeVante Parker before Miami ultimately traded him to New England. But while Dallas missed out on the longtime Dolphin, does their interest indicate that some other move at WR is coming before the 2022 NFL Draft? Arguably the biggest …
When the Cowboys used their 2022 franchise tag on Tight End Dalton Schultz it was reported that they were actively pursuing a long-term contract as well. But based on recent developments, could Dallas now be planning to allow Schultz to play the upcoming season on the one-year contract? In early March the Cowboys assigned the non-exclusive …
Only the Cowboys know how truly confident they are in Cooper Rush as their backup quarterback in 2022. There’s more reason to stick with Rush this year than ever before, but is it enough to keep Dallas from looking at some of the veteran free agents still available this offseason? Well-known names like Cam Newton and …
There’s been a lot of frustration over the last few weeks as the Cowboys have seemingly sat on their salary cap space and allowed major free agents like Bobby Wagner, Von Miller, and Chandler Jones to pass them by. But if Dallas is staying true to their typical offseason flow, that means there could still be …
Few former Cowboys have been bigger cheerleaders for the organization than Michael Irvin. But even “The Playmaker” can’t find much to praise in Dallas’ 2022 offseason moves so far, and the legendary wide receiver made his feelings clear in a recent interview. Appearing on FOX 4’s “Free 4 All” last night, Irvin pulled no punches in …
Even since the Cowboys re-signed Leighton Vander Esch and Luke Gifford, speculation still abounds regarding additional talent they could acquire at linebacker. But based on comments yesterday by Stephen Jones, Dallas may not be making anymore major investments this offseason because of their confidence in second-year prospect Jabril Cox. Sorry to you who still hoped for …
As of now the Dallas Cowboys haven’t added any new talent at defensive tackle. Could veteran Akiem Hicks, still a free agent, provide an upgrade and stabilizing presence in the middle of the line? So far Dallas has re-signed Carlos Watkins and still has the young stable of Neville Gallimore, Osa Odighizuwa, Trysten Hill, and Quinton …
The Cowboys have seen a lot of coming and comings over the last few weeks. Though we’re still early in the 2022 offseason, the left guard position is glaring as Dallas’ biggest weakness about a month before the upcoming NFL Draft. The initial waves of free agency helped clear up some things at other roster spots. …
