Did the Cowboys find their next All-Pro in Tyler Guyton?

The offseason departure of franchise legend, Tyron Smith, opened up a massive need at left tackle in Dallas. Once the draft rolled around, the front office’s top priority was filling that need, and they tapped former Oklahoma Sooner, Tyler Guyton to do it.

Former Cowboys’ star bans ‘negative’ reporter

Last year, former Dallas Cowboys’ cornerback Deion Sanders was the media darling. “Coach Prime” had risen up to head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes in the Pac-12 Conference of Division I college football.

Cowboys talented roster extends to the practice squad

Now that all teams have cut down their training camp and preseason rosters to just 53, over 1,000 players have been sent to free agency.

Disappointing Cowboys draft class will start redemption tour in Week 1

With three rookie starters taking the field next week against the Cleveland Browns, there has been a ton of focus on the 2024 Cowboys draft class, and for good reason.

Aging stars won’t solve Cowboys running back problem in 2024

By the end of the 2019 NFL season, budding superstars Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott finished fourth and fifth in rushing touchdowns, and combined for nearly 2,500 yards; a backfield with the two of them would have been unstoppable.
