Robert Quinn was one of the Cowboys’ most high profile free agents this Spring. No, he wasn’t Dak Prescott or Amari Cooper star level, but he was the team’s sack leader in 2019 and was highly coveted across the league once entering free agency. How or why he chose to not only leave the Cowboys, but …
While the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down activity across all in-season sports leagues all over the world, the NFL had been immune to the cancellations and adjustments thus far. They went on with free agency business as usual, and were trying to get through as much of a “normal” offseason as they could. But with the …
Travis Frederick’s March retirement shocked Cowboys Nation. The All Pro caliber center had battled back from a horrible disease, fought his way back into football, and earned Pro Bowl honors his first season back. It was supposed to go up from 2019, not just end. Instead, Frederick decided it was time to move on from the …
The 2020 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and with it comes a great time for reflection on how your team has done on draft day in the past. For the Dallas Cowboys, it’s sort of a been a tale of two halves. The beginning of the decade saw the Cowboys completely rebuild the infrastructure …
If you’re like me, your weekdays are a whole lot similar to your weekends these days. At least, the place you spend both is the same. So if you have time to kill this weekend, and $0 to spend on the newly free NFL Gamepass, you can join me in rewatching some of the best Dallas …
I, like many of you, have spent the last two weeks working from home. “Self isolating” from the regular office in an effort to “flatten the curve.” As COVID-19 madness seems to take over every day life, sports have been far from immune from the effects. Each currently active sports league has gone dormant, from the …
It’s a new day at The Star. Or, at least, it’s beginning to feel like one. Jason Garrett’s exit and Mike McCarthy’s hire will likely change game day strategy, game clock management, and all of the typical on-field elements you’d initially expect. But McCarthy’s also begun to change the talent acquisition philosophy in Dallas. Most notably, …
To say there’s been a lot of movement this offseason wouldn’t do it justice. Gone from the 2019 Cowboys are key contributors like Byron Jones and Robert Quinn. All Pro center Travis Frederick has retired, and the Cowboys seem to be in a transition phase on the back-end of their defense. But have they still improved …
It’s been a roller coaster offseason for the Dallas Cowboys. On one hand they’ve been able to keep Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper around for the 2020 season, and they’ve added veteran defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to their front seven. But on the other hand, the Cowboys have lost a ton of talent, including center Travis …
Comparing Lynn Bowden Jr. to Randall Cobb feels kind of lazy. Yes, they are both Kentucky Wildcats who spent time at quarterback in college, but will be moving to receiver full time in the NFL. And yes, both are two of the best all around football players to play at the University of Kentucky. But..well, actually …
After losing All Pro cornerback Byron Jones to Miami in free agency earlier this week, the Dallas Cowboys were expected to be aggressive in the cornerback market. After all, their cornerback room was rather unsettled heading into free agency. Instead, Dallas signed 25 year old Maurice Canady and re-signed their own Anthony Brown. While these were …
According to Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com, the Cowboys have released both cornerback Donovan Olumba and defensive lineman Daniel Wise. Each spent most of the 2019 season on the team’s practice squad. The Cowboys have released CB Donovan Olumba and DE Daniel Wise.

The Dallas Cowboys continued their busy week of free agency this afternoon, reportedly signing cornerback Maurice Canady to a one year deal. Canady is a former sixth round pick of the Baltimore Ravens back in 2016, and remained with the team until November of 2019. He joined the Jets midway through last season, starting a combined …
There’s been no shortage of Dallas Cowboys free agency news over the past 48 hours. The comings and goings of star players have stolen the headlines, but one player most seemed to expect to be back announced he will be moving on from the team via Instagram this week. Wide receiver Randall Cobb penned a farewell …
For many Cowboys fans, Gerald McCoy’s signing felt a year overdue. As a free agent in 2019, Cowboys Nation was clamoring for the team to go after the veteran defensive tackle. Regardless, the move was met with tons of fanfare when it was announced on Tuesday night, with fans and media alike finding reasons to praise …
The Cowboys have gotten busy early on in free agency this year, and according to Jane Slater of the NFL Network, things are continuing to pick up. Jane reported this morning that the Cowboys and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders have mutual interest in one another. Sanders played his college ball at SMU before going on to …
After giving Dak Prescott the franchise tag, and re-signing Amari Cooper to a lucrative five year contract, the Cowboys went to two of their team leaders to open up more cap space for the 2020 season. Per Field Yates, both Ezekiel Elliott and La’el Collins restructured their deals early on Monday, helping add some flexibility as …
For the better part of the last decade-plus, the one position the Dallas Cowboys didn’t have too worry about was tight end. That’s where Jason Witten was going to play, and start, all 16 games. No questions asked. As Witten has aged, however, the Cowboys have struggled to replicate the level of production they once saw …
Byron Jones is an enigma. Very rarely is a player so undeniably good, while also receiving substantial criticism for the areas in which he struggles. No one will tell you that Byron is “trash,” but it’s tough to find those who tell you he’s elite either. Despite what his on-field play and natural athleticism strongly suggest. …
Jaylon Smith’s career has been a rollercoaster. Originally thought of as a top ten pick in the 2016 draft, a potentially career ending knee injury sent Smith crashing down draft boards. No one knew where Smith would land on draft day, and no one knew what version of Smith they’d be getting for the future if …
If you were hoping for new Dak Prescott news, you’re going to have to wait a bit longer. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported today that the NFL is extending their deadline for franchise tags to be placed on players for the 2020 season, moving it back to March 16th. This means that the deadline has been pushed …
