All Dallas Cowboys players and roster news, analysis, and commentary from Inside The Star.
With the 2020 NFL Draft on the horizon, an interesting rumor hit the mill yesterday regarding Arizona Cardinals’ receiver and punt returner Christian Kirk. The Dallas Cowboys were one of the teams listed as being interested in trading for Kirk. Christian was a 2nd-round pick in 2018 by Arizona. He was their #2 receiver last season, …
The Cowboys leading sack getter in 2019 wasn’t who fans would’ve expected it to be. Rather than the dominant DeMarcus Lawrence taking the team-lead, it was offseason acquisition Robert Quinn leading the way with 11.5 sacks. Quinn, after a very successful single season in Dallas, now enters unrestricted free agency as a hot commodity. In 2019 …
Well, talk about a turn of events. After former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett took a job in the NFC East as the newest New York Giants offensive coordinator, a report has emerged on him possibly stealing none other than future Hall of Famer Jason Witten. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen said on TV that Witten wants to …
In the game of football, as we all know, it starts and finishes in the trenches. In the case of the Dallas Cowboys on the defensive side of the ball in 2019, they have struggled to control the line of scrimmage vs the run. They came into last Sunday’s game vs the Los Angeles Rams 19th …
It’s been a quiet 2019 for one of the Dallas Cowboys’ preseason breakout candidates, Maliek Collins. Heading into training camp, and then the regular season, Collins was the healthiest he’d been at any point in his previous three seasons. That combined with another year in the NFL, led many to believe that Collins could become a …
The Dallas Cowboys just took a big hit defensively. According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch will likely be out vs the New York Giants on Monday night. https://twitter.com/toddarcher/status/1190703233599201280?s=19 Vander Esch suffered a neck injury in the Cowboys Week 7 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. The hope was that the bye week would give …
The Dallas Cowboys couldn’t find a roster spot for rookie Cornerback Michael Jackson this year. Despite spending a fifth-round pick on him last April, Dallas wound up placing Jackson on their practice squad after final cuts. They’ve now lost him to the Detroit Lions, who signed Michael to their 53-man roster today. Jackson couldn’t force his …
According to reports, the Dallas Cowboys have acquired Defensive End Michael Bennett via trade from the New England Patriots. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1187489559803846656 Michael Bennett is a three-time Pro Bowler and won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. He has 65.5 career sacks in his 11-year career in the NFL, 2.5 of which he added this …
The Dallas Cowboys came into their Week 7 matchup with the arch-rival Philadelphia Eagles on a three-game losing streak and were searching desperately for answers. With first place in the NFC East on the line, it was important for the Cowboys to set a tone and send a message at home in order to avoid going …
The Dallas Cowboys got a big win last night over the Philadelphia Eagles, but there was concern that they also suffered some big injuries. But good news; despite their leaving the game and not returning, both LB Leighton Vander Esch and DE Robert Quinn appear to have avoided any significant issues. Vander Esch suffered a neck …
The Dallas Cowboys have developed a not so pleasant trend during the early part of the 2019 season, slow starts. In the previous three games before this past Sunday’s matchup with the New York Jets, the Cowboys scored a total of 13 points in the first half. Unfortunately, it was more of the same at Metlife …
With only 2.5 sacks in five games thus far in 2019, DeMarcus Lawrence is currently on pace to have less than 10 sacks on the season. That would be a disappointment for all parties after the Cowboys defensive end just signed a massive contract extension this offseason, but today’s game against the New York Jets may …
Missing Tyron Smith last week as a significant factor in the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Green Bay Packers. Losing La’el Collins midway through the game certainly didn’t help, either. Thankfully, the Cowboys may be getting both starting offensive tackles back this week when they face the New York Jets. In a radio show appearance earlier …
In their week four 12-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Dallas Cowboys struggled to move the ball through the air consistently against a better than advertised Saints pass rush and pass defense. The Saints were part of the reason for the Cowboys’ struggle as they did a really nice job covering Amari Cooper with …
A lot has been made of the Dallas Cowboys’ decision to make 2019 second-round pick Trysten Hill inactive for the first two games of the regular season. With Taco Charlton also being inactive, people attempted to compare the two to make broad generalizations about Hill’s present and future in the NFL. The problem is these two …
Every year it seems one team decides pretty quickly to take on the mantel of “NFL Dumpster Fire.” In 2019, the Miami Dolphins are so obviously in tank mode that it’s become almost sad. Of course, the Dallas Cowboys have been the beneficiary of their sell-off as they were able to acquire Robert Quinn for the …
Heading into 2019, the Dallas Cowboys are about as healthy as they’ve been going into any week one. With the Cowboys facing their division rival, the New York Giants, the one player there should be a bit o injury concern about is Amari Cooper. Amari Cooper has been sitting out a month with plantar fasciitis and …
The Green Bay Packers have officially given up on Safety Josh Jones, who they drafted in the second-round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Jones is now subject to waiver wire rules, meaning any team in the NFL can put in a claim in the hopes of acquiring his services. The Dallas Cowboys should be one of …
The Dallas Cowboys 2019 rookie draft class may not be the most impressive on paper, but they are expected to be contributors this year and hopefully for years to come. Last Saturday night against the San Francisco 49ers was their first taste of NFL action and some of them lived up to expectations, while others kind …
With the contract and hold out saga with Ezekiel Elliott continuing, rookie Running Back Tony Pollard got the start on Saturday as the Dallas Cowboys faced off against the San Francisco 49ers in week one of the preseason. There were few players that Cowboys Nation was as excited to see in action than Pollard and in …
The preseason isn’t a time to be worried about the won-loss record or to be checking the standings. Sure, you want your team to perform well and score points, but the biggest priority in the preseason is to answer questions you’ve had about your roster. Last night against the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys began …
