The NFL league year started back on March 13th. The NFL Draft and OTAs (Organized Team Activities) have passed us by, as have some minicamps for all teams. We are now in the deepest lull of the offseason, waiting for training camps to start across the league but not until late July. For the Dallas Cowboys, …
In each of my past few articles, I’ve mentioned how we are in the quietest part of the offseason. The period between OTAs (Organized Team Activities) and training camp is frustrating to get through as a football fan. During this time, players and coaches are enjoying their final few weeks of offseason freedom before hitching the …
The lull of the offseason has become deafening and major media networks have no idea how to get viewership besides slandering anything and everything that is the Dallas Cowboys. Instead of focusing on players rewarded with new contracts, they have to make their segment about how the Dallas Cowboys haven’t extended QB Dak Prescott or WR …
The Dallas Cowboys and coaches are enjoying some time off in between OTAs (Organized Team Activities) and the start of training camp in Oxnard, California on July 23rd. There are many questions that need answers following the disappointing end to the 2023 season at the hands of the 7th-seeded Green Bay Packers in Arlington. Dallas was …
I woke up this Sunday morning having dreamt that I was fired from my job with no explanation at all. This is a job that I’ve had for the past 17+ years so it came as a shock. Luckily it was just a dream, but I still have this sense of worry in my gut for …
As the 2024 NFL offseason moves along, we have arrived at a deafening lull between OTAs (Organized Team Activities) and the start of training camp. The Dallas Cowboys won’t report to training camp until July 23rd, and between now and then we can only hope that contract extensions get completed with QB Dak Prescott and WR …
At this point in the NFL offseason, there are many unanswered questions. Most of these questions can only be answered by time, but many of us use speculation to get us through these dry months. That speculation can come in many forms, and I’ve even participated in it myself. It could be player rankings, projected starting …
What most writers won’t tell you is that this part of the NFL offseason is the toughest part of the year for us. News is slow aside from clickbait and wild scenarios to pass the time. When I get a sense of writer’s block, I like to take to social media and see what people are …
Up until the mid-1990s and early 2000s, the Dallas Cowboys were one of those teams where you could count the franchise’s head coaches on one hand. At the time, the only coaches to ever coach the team were the legendary Tom Landry and the fiery Jimmy Johnson. After 34 years of only two head coaches, Johnson’s …
The Cowboys’ linebacker position was scrutinized last season for being one of the weakest position groups on the team. When I was growing up, I was always fascinated by the linebacker position in the NFL. My favorite video game was Madden 2005. It was the first year the hit stick was implemented in gameplay. That feature …
The anticipation of the 2024 NFL season is palpable and is even more appealing to a certain group of people. Millions of people around the world love the game of football. It’s an American pastime that has brought families together for decades but there is another element that sparks excitement. Have you ever played fantasy football? …
As the days on the calendar go by, the Dallas Cowboys get further away from the disappointing end to the 2023 season and closer to the excitement of a new season. The 2024 season will be a prove-it year for the Dallas Cowboys. There are so many players and coaches who are playing and coaching on …
Once mandatory minicamp wrapped up for the Dallas Cowboys last week, it triggered the longest stretch of the year without any meaningful NFL activities. The Cowboys won’t get together as a team again until July 23rd in Oxnard, California for the start of training camp. Training camp will feature joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams. …
One week ago, Cowboys Nation was rocked by some unexpected news. Larry Allen, former All-Pro turned Hall of Famer and one of the greatest linemen in not only Cowboys’ history, but NFL history died suddenly while on vacation with his family in Mexico. Allen was 52, but it seems like just yesterday he was mauling defensive …
The main headline we are all waiting for out of Dallas Cowboys camp is the announcement of a new contract for QB Dak Prescott. Dak famously put a soundbite out there that will be replayed until he reaches a deal on a new contract. “I don’t play for the money.” If that’s the case, Mr, Prescott, …
Now that OTAs and mandatory minicamps have come and gone, the NFL world enters a nearly two-month stretch of inactivity aside from players working out on their own. For the Dallas Cowboys, the narrative over the next few weeks until the team assembles for training camp in Oxnard, California will be the contract situations of QB …
With the first practice of mandatory minicamp at The Star in Frisco in the rearview, the Dallas Cowboys hope to build on the foundation laid Tuesday morning. A notable absence was star WR CeeDee Lamb, who is currently in a contract ummm…situationship? I’m not sure what to call it because the negotiations are locked up tightly. …
If former Cowboys’ LB Darren Hambrick were around, his famous soundbite “What do voluntary mean?” would no longer be relevant. Hambrick was referring to voluntary workouts after being asked why one of his teammates at the time was not present. The voluntary portion of the offseason has come and gone, and the Dallas Cowboys reported to …
The Minnesota Vikings have just made Justin Jefferson not only the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL but also the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history based on average annual value. Jefferson, who can now swim in $110 million guaranteed, received a 4yr/$140 million deal. The $35 million per year average makes him the richest wide receiver …
As the calendar flips pages from May to June, the year 2024 seems to be flying by. The Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the NFL are in the middle of preparing for the new season. Veterans are getting back into the swing of things and rookies are getting acclimated to their new surroundings. Their 2024 …
OTAs are in full swing at The Star in Frisco as the Dallas Cowboys begin the trek to make us forget how the 2023 season ended. Good luck with that. We haven’t forgotten and likely won’t stop talking about it well into the 2024 season. Every time an opponent’s receiver is standing wide open we will …
