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 …
One of the things that former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator turned Washington Commanders HC Dan Quinn did in Dallas was rejuvenate the safety position. The Cowboys notoriously ignored the safety position for many years. I mean think about it. How many high draft picks or high free agent money did the Cowboys spend at the position …
Injuries are part of the NFL game. They have been since Fran Tarkenton was running around in the 1960s and they will be when Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. is calling audibles at the line. A mark of a good team is how well they can respond to the adversity that injuries bring. The Dallas Cowboys …
The Cowboys’ rookie draft class has already been on the field running around with the veterans in OTAs this past week. They had eight draft picks this year after trading back in the 1st round to acquire a 3rd round pick in exchange. The most polarizing pick is surely 1st round pick LT Tyler Guyton. He …
The 2024 NFL season draws nearer with each passing day. Defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City will host Lamar Jackson and the Ravens a short 101 days from now. Until then, every nugget of information from OTAs and eventually training camps will be magnified to the umpteenth degree. That rings especially true at The Star. Let …
Earlier this week, Dallas Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy was asked his thoughts on a variety of topics from QB Dak Prescott’s contract negotiations to WR CeeDee Lamb’s absence from OTAs. He answered each question candidly but still made sure to downplay each situation and show that it’s just business and he’s not worried about how it …
Organized Team Activities, or OTAs as they are abbreviated to, officially started on Tuesday the 21st for the Dallas Cowboys. Not everyone is in attendance, as Twitter/X has been quick to let us know. Players like WR CeeDee Lamb (contract) and EDGE Micah Parsons (training) are the most notable absences. Lamb is currently in the thick …
Out of all the moves, er… non-moves the Dallas Cowboys have made this season, one of them divides the fanbase more than any other. The Cowboys famously were the only team in the NFL to refrain from signing an outside free agent on the first day of free agency. An embarrassing distinction but the front office …
The calendar is closer to flipping to June, signaling that the NFL season is closing in. September is still a ways away, but football activities are starting up. A few drops of water in the barren football landscape is better than none at all. We will take anything NFL-related that we can get and we won’t …
There was a press conference held during rookie minicamp earlier this week where Cowboys VP Stephen Jones answered some questions. Specifically, he was asked about the schedule and how the Cowboys analyze once the NFL officially releases it. As reported by ESPN NFL Nation reporter Todd Archer, Jones said “There’s a lot to look at”. We …
As the NFL moves closer to OTAs (Organized Team Activities), rosters have yet to take a shape we can recognize. The Dallas Cowboys will begin their OTAs on May 21st and it will run through the 23rd where the coaches can gauge how the rookies respond to working with the veterans for the first time. One …
NFL teams are preparing for OTAs (organized team activities) to begin next week, specifically May 21-23 for the Dallas Cowboys. OTAs are voluntary programs. It’s important to remember that when star WR CeeDee Lamb doesn’t show up because he has yet to sign a contract extension. Rookie minicamps passed us by late last week, and HC …
Rookie minicamps across the NFL are just about wrapped up and Cowboys fans caught a glimpse of some players who could be key contributors right away. It’s not necessarily due to how well they are playing, but it speaks more to the lack of experienced depth on the Cowboys roster after losing 13 players to free …
Yet another new NFL quarterback contract was doled out on Monday morning when the Detroit Lions signed Jared Goff to a 4yr/$212 million extension. Cowboys Nation once again throws its hands up as another contract goes by before Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is extended by the team. Goff’s deal reportedly includes a whopping $177 million …
