I swear to the Almighty, if the Dallas Cowboys draft a tight end in the 2024 Draft – in any round – I’m going to need bail money. I’m not kidding. Going into last year’s draft I pointed out Dallas’ poor history when drafting a tight end in the early rounds. They went ahead and did …
As mentioned on Thursday, most mock drafts have the Dallas Cowboys going after an offensive lineman with their first pick in the NFL draft in two weeks. A few have them taking lineman in the first two rounds. And I stand by the statement that they do not need to do so. The Cowboys more urgent …
Most of the mock drafts for next month’s NFL Draft have the Dallas Cowboys laser-focused on taking an offensive lineman. A few have them spending both their 1st and 2nd round picks on the line for that matter. All of them are dead wrong. Should the season start today, the Cowboys have the players on the …
There could be as many as six quarterbacks drafted in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft – with the first three picks expected to come from this position. The current record for most quarterbacks taken in the first round overall is six, set in 1983. Both the 1949 and 2018 drafts saw four quarterbacks …
The curious lack of movement on Dak Prescott’s contract extension continues to fuel speculation regarding the quarterback’s future. Will the Cowboys eventually extend Prescott? Will they simply let him play out his contract and let him go after 2024? They would – at best – get a third round pick in return if he departs in …
Is the time of the tax-payer-funded sports mega-palaces nearing an end? Voters in Kansas City this week may have been the first to draw a line in the sand. They rejected a measure that would replace an already existing tax to help fund a new stadium. The current tax helps pay for the upkeep of the …
Just when you thought you couldn’t hate Jerry Jones and the Cowboys’ front office any more than you already do… 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: #Ravens star RB Derrick Henry says signing with the #Cowboys would’ve been the “perfect situation” but they never reached out to him, he told @thepivot “They ain't holla at me at all. It would've been …
It really galls me to say it – and there’s still a lot of things that can happen to change this – but when it comes to the NFC East in 2024 this appears to be true: The Philadelphia Eagles – if the season were to start today – will win the NFC East in 2024. …
You would think, less than three years removed from Henry Ruggs III killing a woman and her dog, NFL players would get the message. Yes, you are in your early 20s. No, you are not invincible. But here we are once again. Over the past weekend, two vehicles were clearly racing each other on the North …
Dallas Cowboys linebacker, DeMarvion Overshown, took to Twitter/X recently to defend his team’s quarterback, Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott is the guy we want leading us into battle on GameDay!Stop with all the fake narratives.— DeMarvion Overshown (@AGENT0__) March 30, 2024 Overshown missed his entire rookie season last year thanks to a knee injury suffered in a …
ESPN’s NFL Draft Analyst, Matt Miller, released his full seven-round mock draft this week. You have to be a member of ESPN+ to read it. So I can’t post the full seven rounds with every player listed. But we can take a look at the picks he has Dallas making, comment on them, and offer our …
In the last few days we’ve considered the possibility of a stealth rebuild in Dallas. And we’ve acknowledged that Jerry Jones’ statements cannot be taken at face value. Today, he could say no contract extensions, no trades, and no big free agent signings are pending. Tomorrow, he could do all three. As a Cowboys fan, all …
Well, that didn’t take long now did it? Back at the Senior Bowl – less than eight weeks ago – Jerry Jones said the Cowboys were “all-in” for the upcoming season. That was taken by many – pundits and fans alike – to mean the Cowboys were going all out in 2024. The only focus was …
He gamed the college football transfer portal last year. Now, former Cowboys’ cornerback Deion Sanders is eyeing a bigger target. The 2025 NFL Draft. The Colorado Buffaloes head coach brought in a nearly 100% brand new roster at Boulder for the 2023 season. Other coaches quickly followed his lead. Despite a 4-8 record in his first …
We’re now two weeks into the 2024 free agency season and the scoreboard for Dallas looks frighteningly like the halftime score of the Cowboys’ last game of 2023. Cowboys Free Agents Resigned DB Jourdan Lewis RB Rico Dowdle LS Trent Sieg DB C.J. Goodwin Free Agents Signed From Other Teams LB Eric Kendricks (Chargers) Players Released …
A decade ago the Cowboys went into the 2014 Draft with a poor draft history over the previous 20 years and managed to walk out with two potential Hall of Fame players. With the 16th pick of the first round, the Cowboys took guard Zack Martin out of Notre Dame. In 10 years, Martin has started …
If Jerry Jones had hoped to be known as a great judge of football talent he forever killed that hope on April 24, 2004, in New York City. The Cowboys held the 22nd pick in the opening round of the 2004 NFL Draft held at Madison Square Garden. Apparently dissatisfied with what he saw, Jones traded …
With one month to go before the 1994 NFL Draft got underway a mega-quake shook the league. Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson – despite winning back-to-back championships – had decided to part company. The Cowboys would have a new coach in 1994. More importantly, they’d have a new man running the draft. Jones – who was …
With the 1984 season approaching the Cowboys were at the end of an era. They had made the playoffs in the previous nine seasons. But the 1983 season has ended with a wild card round loss to the Rams. Adding to the misery, Dallas had advanced to three straight NFC Championship games in the early 1980s …
In 1974 the Dallas Cowboys were preparing for that year’s NFL Draft as one of the league’s top teams. Two seasons before they had finally captured their first NFL championship. A few months earlier they had lost to the Vikings in the NFC title game. But despite the recent run of success, the Cowboys were looking …
Starting today – and for the next five days – we’ll be taking a look back at six of the past NFL Drafts by the Dallas Cowboys. Starting with the 1964 draft – with the 1974, 1984, 1994, 2004, and 2014 drafts to follow – we’ll look at how the Cowboys drafted that year. Turning back …
