If you’ve taken the time to study any of the 2020 tight end draft class, you’re probably just as confused and frustrated as I am. I don’t think there is a clear-cut top TE this year. I bet you can ask 10 different people who they’d rank as the TE1 and you’d probably get 10 different …
During draft season, we all like to sit around and talk about the needs the Dallas Cowboys need to address in the draft. Then we get into debates about need vs best player available. The reality is, teams go into the draft considering both the areas the team needs to address in concert with their draft …
The best way to build a football team is from the inside out, meaning the trenches. The Dallas Cowboys have definitely taken that approach so far in free agency by acquiring veteran’s Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe to buffer their interior defensive line. However, they could add a weapon coming off the edge on day three …
The 2020 NFL Draft is shaping up to be one of the more interesting ones than any other in the history of the event. The coronavirus pandemic has put a stop to pro days, private workouts, and even medical rechecks. The latter of which may be the most concerning. In the past, the Dallas Cowboys have …
The trenches. That’s been a focal point of the Dallas Cowboys offseason on defense so far. After losing Maliek Collins to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Cowboys filled that hole by signing veteran Defensive Tackle Gerald McCoy to a three-year deal. Also, to further buffer the defensive front, they added Dontari Poe, a near 350-pound mountain …
When it comes to the 2020 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys can use more depth at just about every position. That’s why today I wanted to shine the light on a player who can play a variety of roles and add more depth at several positions. Enter Antonio Gibson. Like Tony Pollard before him, Antonio Gibson was …
A primary goal for the Dallas Cowboys the last several years has been building and maintaining one of the league’s best offensive lines. That evergreen objective requires constant attention, and could mean that Dallas will spend one of their premium 2020 draft picks on the o-line. One potential target is Boise State offensive tackle Ezra Cleveland. …
With the help of Draft Network, CBSSports, and Matt Miller I decided to take a different approach when doing a seven-round mock draft for the Dallas Cowboys. I used their prospect rankings and tried to select who I believe is the best fit for the Cowboys with each one of their draft picks in the 2020 …
There are two things that are true about this offseason. First, the wide receiver group in free agency this year was and still is very underwhelming. That’s one of the reasons it was so important for the Dallas Cowboys to re-sign Amari Cooper. Finding any semblance of a replacement for Cooper was going to be near …
The Dallas Cowboys have made some very savvy free agent moves since March 18. Maybe the two most important were adding free-agent defensive tackles Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe, who will presumably be the team’s starting interior defensive linemen in 2020. This solved a major need for the Cowboys and have put them in a position …
The Dallas Cowboys, for what seems like forever, are still trying to find the right combination at the safety position. Former strong safety starter Jeff Heath signed with the Las Vegas Raiders last week which left a hole to fill opposite Xavier Woods. Backup Safety Darian Thompson was re-signed to a two-year deal worth 2.8 million. …
Cowboys Nation was completely caught off guard earlier this week when Travis Frederick unexpectedly announced his retirement from the NFL. Dallas Cowboys fans, including myself, had absolutely zero idea Frederick was even considering hanging up his cleats. But if we would’ve been paying closer attention we probably should have. After battling back from an autoimmune disease …
Comparing Lynn Bowden Jr. to Randall Cobb feels kind of lazy. Yes, they are both Kentucky Wildcats who spent time at quarterback in college, but will be moving to receiver full time in the NFL. And yes, both are two of the best all around football players to play at the University of Kentucky. But..well, actually …
When it comes to the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft, teams around the league are going to have to rely on the information they already have at their disposal. Pro Days and private workouts have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, meaning nearly every prospects resume was completed after the Scouting Combine nearly a month ago. …
With the first week of free agency in the books, I thought it would be a good time to do another Dallas Cowboys seven-round mock draft. Things certainly changed around the NFL and it will surely have an impact on the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft in April. For the Dallas Cowboys, they’ve had a pretty solid …
After losing All Pro cornerback Byron Jones to Miami in free agency earlier this week, the Dallas Cowboys were expected to be aggressive in the cornerback market. After all, their cornerback room was rather unsettled heading into free agency. Instead, Dallas signed 25 year old Maurice Canady and re-signed their own Anthony Brown. While these were …
The Dallas Cowboys did the right thing the last couple of years by letting both Cole Beasley and Randall Cobb depart via free agency, but it does leave a void to be filled regardless. There are rumors the Dallas Cowboys and Emmanuel Sanders show a mutual interest in one another, but I wouldn’t rule out going …
The Dallas Cowboys are currently losing more players than they’re keeping in 2020 free agency. You can now add starting Defensive Tackle Maliek Collins to the list of players exiting Dallas, as Collins is reportedly signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. Collins has been with the Cowboys since his rookie season in 2016. He played out …
Jason Witten has had a wild chain of events over the past few years. After the 2017 season, he decided to call it a career as he joined ESPN’s Monday Night Football as the color analyst after a Hall of Fame career with the Dallas Cowboys. One year later, he made his return to the gridiron …
The Dallas Cowboys had five unrestricted free agents to make the decisions on this offseason along the defensive line, with Defensive End Robert Quinn being at the top of the list. Unfortunately, the former All-Pro has made a decision on his NFL future, and it’s not what the Cowboys want to hear. According to NFL Network’s …
The Dallas Cowboys have lost top Cornerback Byron Jones in free agency as he’s reportedly signing with the Miami Dolphins. This unexpected ending comes after months of hints and clues that Dallas was not going to pursue re-signing Jones this offseason. Byron’s new deal with Miami is reportedly around $17 million per year, which would make …
