After one season playing linebacker with the Cowboys, former Pro Bowl safety Keanu Neal wants to get back to what he does best.

In a shocking development. Randy Gregory’s reported new 5-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys is no more. The free agent defensive end will now be signing with the Denver Broncos. Barely an hour after the news of his return to the Cowboys was made public, now it appears something went awry in the finalization and the …
Malik Hooker is still trying to get his career back on track from when he was a 2017 1st-Round pick and elite prospect coming out of Ohio State.

Did Dez Bryant just spoil some soon-to-be-announced Cowboys free agency news?

Washington had been in Pittsburgh for four seasons, playing out his …
The Cowboys wide receiver depth chart is currently much weaker than in recent years. Two days after Dallas traded Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns, it’s now reported that Cedrick Wilson will be signing with the Miami Dolphins when free agency officially opens on Wednesday.

The Cowboys made two predictable cap-clearing moves today by releasing Tight End Blake Jarwin and Kicker Greg Zuerlein ahead of next week’s start to 2022 free agency. They also let go of RB Ito Smith, WR Robert Foster, and CB Reggie Robison. Jarwin’s was waived/injured following a recent hip surgery that threatens his 2022 availability. With …
The miserly Cowboys are pinching salary cap pennies wherever they can this offseason and even near the bottom of the roster.

Under the current …
With 2022 free agency opening next Wednesday, it’s no surprise that the dominoes are already starting to fall.

One of the marquee free agents for the Cowboys in 2022 is starting Tight End Dalton Schultz. But while Schultz is coming off a career year and has been one of the NFL’s most productive TEs the last two seasons, should he really be a priority free agent for Dallas this offseason? This is not an …
While Amari Cooper, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Anthony Brown are getting most of the attention as potential salary cap casualties this offseason, Defensive End Tarell Basham is another player with some cap savings in his contract.
