Coming off a bye week, the Dallas Cowboys will take on the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. But fans will get a unique chance to watch Dallas’ next opponent on Monday Night this week, when the Vikings take on their division rival Bears.

With the Dallas Cowboys on their bye week and nearly all of the rest of the NFL heading into Week 10, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to do a way to early first-round 2021 NFL mock draft. After all, the Cowboys currently hold the third overall pick. Why not go ahead and take a …
Since coming to the Cowboys, wide receiver Amari Cooper has had a career revitalization. Just a couple of seasons ago he looked done to many, “stuck” in Oakland and struggling with inconsistent hands. He was having his effort questioned, as well as his love for the game. As soon as he linked up with quarterback Dak …
The Dallas Cowboys looked like an entirely different team in all three phases of the game in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They very nearly pulled off an upset against the only undefeated team left in the league, however, the Steelers still managed to hang on to secure the 24-19 victory. It was good to …
I fully admit it feels incredibly strange to be writing a draft piece in November of the NFL season. But that’s the kind of season and year that we’ve lived in in 2020. Strange. As the Dallas Cowboys enter the second half of their schedule at 2-6 and with a home contest against the undefeated Pittsburgh …
As things stand right now through the first half of the season the 2-6 Dallas Cowboys currently hold a Top 5 first-round draft pick (5th overall) in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft. Anything of course can happen between now and the completion of the 2020 season. The Cowboys could move even higher in the pecking order …
After the Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles the Dallas Cowboys 2-6 record is currently the fifth worst in the entire league. As such, if the 2020 season were to end today they would be slotted to pick within the Top 5 in the 2021 NFL Draft. New York Jets (0-8) New York Giants (1-6) …
As we reach the midway stage of the NFL regular season, one game truly stands out in the Week 8 lineup as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys, in one of the tastiest Sunday Night Football encounters of the year. Not only is this one of the biggest NFL rivalries according to CBS Sports, when …
The Detroit Lions signed Quarterback David Blough from their practice squad to their official roster this week, and apparently the Dallas Cowboys are the reason why. It’s been reported that Dallas attempted to poach the second-year QB and forced the Lions to make this move to retain him. Blough was an undrafted free agent coming out …
The 2020 NFL Draft had to alter the way things were done because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s probably nothing like what will take place in 2021. With opt-outs, season cancellations, and all of the other uncertainties surrounding the collegiate season, the 2021 NFL Draft could be one for the history books. Right now there’s …
Virginia Tech Cornerback Caleb Farley was the first college player to opt out of the 2020 season and declare for the 2021 NFL Draft. Considered by many as one of the top draft eligible prospects at his position, this decision could end up having an impact, good or bad, on his draft stock come Draft Day. …
Bleacher Report continued on with their re-draft series this week, focusing on the infamous 2016 draft this time. The Cowboys killed it during the 2016 draft overall, though their best find came when they selected franchise quarterback Dak Prescott in the fourth round. In this re-draft, the Cowboys didn’t even get a chance to get their …
The 2013 NFL Draft started off as a head scratcher. Fans and analysts alike were wondering why the Cowboys had traded down in the first round from 18th to 31st overall, when they seemingly had multiple holes which needed to be addressed. In the end the Cowboys landed center Travis Frederick, who went on to anchor …
Last season, the NFC East title race was close. But not in a good way. The Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles had disappointing seasons and Philly just barely ran away with the division title as they won their last four en route to a 9-7 record. Meanwhile, the Cowboys finished the season at .500 and …
If there’s one thing the Dallas Cowboys have done right in recent years, it tends to be their first round picks. From Tyron Smith to Zack Martin to Byron Jones, the Cowboys front office has hit much more than they’ve missed in round one. But going back to the turn of last decade, this wasn’t always …
Due to the current pandemic there’s no way of knowing what the 2020 NFL season may look like or if there will even be one. The same can be said about collegiate football as well, however, there will certainly be a 2021 NFL Draft regardless of what happens. It may need to be held virtually once …
The Dallas Cowboys have been linked to All-Pro safeties each of the last three offseasons dating back to their flirtation with the Seattle Seahawks and Earl Thomas in the 2018 offseason. The Cowboys were linked to the former Legion of Boom member until Thomas signed a deal with the Baltimore Ravens in free agency. Even as …
The highlight of the Dallas Cowboys’ offseason so far has been their ballyhooed rookie talent acquired in the 2020 NFL Draft. But that high praise comes at a price for the players; they all now face the burden of living up to those high expectations. CeeDee Lamb was a player nobody thought would drop to the …
Coaches have officially returned to team facilities as the NFL slowly but surely prepares for a regular season schedule with no changes. With the kickoff set to take place on Thursday, September 10th, professional football isn’t in such a hurry for normalcy to return like baseball and basketball are. Despite missing some phases of offseason practices, …
It wasn’t that long ago that Dak Prescott was one of the best values in fantasy football drafts. Back in 2016, in a dynasty rookie draft, I had the fortune of selecting him in the fifth round of one of my home league’s 14-team rookie draft. He wasn’t chosen in the top 60 picks. Of course, …
