Over the last couple of years as DeMarcus Lawrence first became eligible to negotiate his first long-term contract, a debate raged of his worthiness to be paid one of the top contracts in the NFL among edge players (3-4 outside linebackers and 4-3 defensive ends). Many felt that he wasn’t on the same level as Khalil …
The most talked about storyline this offseason revolves around an offense that started off slow but finished strong in 2018. Despite the strong second half of the season, the Dallas Cowboys had a hard time overcoming red zone inefficiencies and play calling predictability from former Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan. With Linehan out and Kellen Moore in, …
Roster construction in the NFL means you are always looking at how to improve your roster or to get something for players who may not be in your team’s long-term future.

With each offseason milestone, more and more information comes out that gives us a hint of the product the Dallas Cowboys are going to put on the field in 2019.

In negotiations, whether it be for an item you find at a garage sale, attempting to get your kid to eat green beans, or signing your franchise quarterback to a long-term extension, is about who will blink first. As soon as one side gives an indication that they’re ready to bend, the other side of the …
Every year there are surprises during training camp and on cut down day. In 2018, most who follow and analyze the Cowboys were surprised by the release of long-time kicker Dan Bailey in favor of Brett Maher. Even from one set of OTA’s to another, things change. How we view the depth chart can change. Most …
Yesterday, Bleacher Report did a piece listing something risky that each NFL team is doing heading into the 2019 season. For the Dallas Cowboys, they’re concerned with the Cowboys relying on Ezekiel Elliott as a workhorse running back in 2019. When you look at Ezekiel Elliott’s track record in the NFL, it’s hard to wonder why …
The quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is one of the more pressure-packed and polarizing positions in all of sports. No position in the NFL, and perhaps sports, faces more scrutiny or receives more criticism for their performance than the signal caller for America’s Team. This has been true for Dak Prescott. Just like it was true …
When Kellen Moore left Boise State for the NFL, he was the winningest quarterback in college football history with 50 wins in four seasons as the Broncos signal caller. Moore was a great college quarterback and was a part of an offense that took advantage of the things that he did really well; reading the defense …
Dak Prescott’s position, the quarterback position, is one of the most difficult to evaluate in the NFL. As hard as it can be for a quarterback to understand and execute an offense against a defense that is trying to keep them off balance, it can be equally difficult to determine where each quarterback ranks compared to …
The Dallas Cowboys have been reinforcing their defensive interior all offseason and look to be in a good position as they get ready to begin offseason training activities and minicamp.

The offseason additions the …
Per a report by Rich Cimini of ESPN, the New York Jets may be exploring a trade for their star defensive lineman Leonard Williams. With Williams set to hit free agency in 2020, the theory is the Jets may not be interested in locking up Williams long-term after just drafting Quinnen Williams with their top five …
Every year, the Dallas Cowboys send quite a few players to the Pro Bowl. This year, the Cowboys sent eight players to the Pro Bowl with Leighton Vander Esch and Byron Jones being selected to their first Pro Bowl squad. There is a lot of talent on this year’s roster and the Cowboys will likely send …
On Tuesday, Pro Football Focus published it’s Top 25 Players Under 25, with Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch one of only three linebackers on the list. Oddly, one of the best players on the team was absent from this same list; Running Back Ezekiel Elliott. The running backs they included were Kareem Hunt, Saquon Barkley, …
All offseason, the focus for much of the Dallas Cowboys front office has been put at the negotiation table. With notable players like DeMarcus Lawrence, Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, and Byron Jones all eligible to discuss long-term contracts this offseason, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones and the rest of the front office have been working …
It’s been quite a year for Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. Heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, Vander Esch was seen as a late first and early second round pick by most draft analysts and many believed that he was most likely a second rounder. Primarily because he had only one season at Boise State …
Earlier today, Bleacher Report graded the offseasons for all 32 NFL general managers. It’s too early to tell how the offseason moves of the Dallas Cowboys and Owner and General Manager Jerry Jones have worked out. Remember last offseason. The moves in March, April, and May seemed like they’d work out, but by the time September …
When the Dallas Cowboys sat on the clock with the 58th pick in the draft nearly two weeks ago, Juan Thornhill, Nasir Adderly, and Taylor Rapp were available.

It isn’t too big of a stretch to look at the current construction of the Dallas Cowboys and see a team that is one of the deepest in the NFL. Take a look at the position groups and you see a team that will have a lot of competition to make the 53-man roster. Wide receiver, …
