Todd Archer of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network are reporting that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones underwent hip surgery this week, but expects to be ready for training camp this summer. Rapoport, on the other hand, seems unsure of what Jones’ availability will be for camp, calling it a “wait and see” situation. Byron …
It’s no secret the Cowboys are in the market for defensive backs in the 2019 NFL Draft. Looking to improve at safety and potentially at cornerback, they may end up targeting some defensive backs with position versatility. Virginia’s Juan Thornhill might just have that versatility, and it appears the Cowboys have noticed. This week Thornhill made …
Over the last couple weeks rumors have swirled about the Dallas Cowboys’ interest in trading for defensive end Robert Quinn. The veteran defensive end has tallied 69 sacks over his 8 year career, including 8.5 sacks in 2017 and 6.5 sacks last season. While he will be 29 come week one this season, Robert Quinn is …
Despite signing veteran safety George Iloka last week, the Cowboys will still be going safety hunting during the 2019 NFL Draft. Dallas now has three legit starting options on their safety depth chart in Iloka, Jeff Heath, and Xavier Woods. But, outside of Woods, these safeties each tend to be better in smaller doses. If the …
The Cowboys got off to a busy start to week two of free agency on Monday, and capped it off by signing defensive lineman Kerry Hyder to a one year deal. The former Detroit Lion could be classified as a “one year wonder” of sorts, but when you look closer at his career arc, you see …
On Tuesday this week it became official the Cowboys would sign former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb to a one year deal worth an estimated $5 million. After his visit Monday morning, speculation around whether and when he would sign was swirling. Cobb confirmed his intentions to join the Cowboys himself, and did so …
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly brining defensive lineman Malik McDowell into The Star this week for a visit, as they decide whether or not to potentially sign him for the 2019 season. McDowell is a former second round pick of the Seattle Seahawks, who fell to day two because of what scouts call “off the field” …
When the news broke Monday that veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb was visiting the Dallas Cowboys, most immediately assumed he would be a logical replacement for the departed Cole Beasley. When you take a look at the film and each of their skillsets, however, you quickly see this is likely not the case. While Cobb would …
Let me first start by saying this is not the case. The Cowboys can find ways to pay both Ezekiel Elliott and Byron Jones over the next two offseasons, securing leaders on each side of the ball. But last week a couple of Twitter polls got me very interested in this topic, and I wanted to expand …
The Dallas Cowboys continue their busy afternoon, and have agreed to re-sign wide receiver Tavon Austin for 2019. #Cowboys are keeping WR Tavon Austin, source says. They've agreed to a deal. — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 14, 2019 Austin joined the Cowboys from the Los Angeles Rams via draft day trade last offseason, and was effective …
The Dallas Cowboys have been very quiet thus far in free agency, even more quiet than expected. They’ve sat out the first wave of, what they perceive to be, overpaid players to allow the second and third tier guys to hopefully fall to them on a discount. The idea is, or at least the idea they …
The Dallas Cowboys finally got on the free agency board this afternoon, signing defensive tackle Christian Covington to a 1 year deal. The former sixth round pick spent his last four NFL seasons with the Houston Texans, and had his best year in 2018 while racking up 3.5 sacks in 12 games. Covington is only 25 …
The Cowboys, as expected, have opted to lay low during the early days of NFL free agency. Rather than paying premium prices for premium players, they’ll look to improve their roster through cheaper options. Of course, one of the most effective ways to do so is to find talent throughout the NFL Draft. And one of …
While most Cowboys-focused memories of their Wild Card victory over the Seahawks are positive ones, those surrounded Allen Hurns are rather brutal. Hurns had to be carted off of the field early in that playoff game with a lower leg injury, and looked like he’d be out for quite some time. Somehow, Allen Hurns is expected …
Having only one pick in the first two rounds, and none within the top 50, the Dallas Cowboys would be best served to just sit-and-pick during the 2019 NFL Draft. If anything, they should likely look to move back in the draft to acquire some more draft capital. Right? Well, this is an interesting offseason for …
2018 was a weird year for Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis. After a stellar rookie season which raised expectations for Lewis heading into year two, staff changes and preseason uncertainty left him in no man’s land last season. Despite spending most of his time on the boundary in 2017, Jourdan Lewis was moved to the slot during …
Last week, Stephen Jones addressed the media for the first time this offseason. He talked about the (then) upcoming NFL Combine, the NFL Draft, Free Agency, and the current coaching staff. He talked about where he thinks the Cowboys need to do to improve in certain areas this Spring, and where they believe their assets will …
The 2019 NFL Combine was just another reminder than defensive linemen are some of the greatest athletes on the planet. People this big are not supposed to move this fluid or fast, but every year at the combine they do just that. Below are my notes on this year’s defensive tackle class and the standouts from …
We continue our recap of the 2019 NFL Combine by taking a look at some of the standout offensive linemen from the week. This is a strong offensive line class, and the combine only appeared to make it stronger. Both on the interior and at tackle a couple of names emerged above the rest, and got …
Even with Jason Witten’s return to football, the Dallas Cowboys should be in the market for a tight end in this year’s NFL Draft. And, of course, the best place to get an up close and personal look at the upcoming crop of tight ends, was at the 2019 NFL Combine. The Cowboys kept a keen …
The 2019 NFL Combine is just about complete, as the final group goes through their workouts Monday morning to cap off the weekend. Obviously the Cowboys were paying close attention to each group participating, but some groups stand out in particular due to team need. Running back is one of those areas. Dallas is looking for …
