The Dallas Cowboys made two huge moves at the trade deadline last week, hoping to bolster their defense. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson are both now in Dallas via trade and are anticipating making their debut Monday night against the Raiders. But they’re not the only defenders that will be added to the mix for the Cowboys.

On Tuesday, DeMarvion Overshown was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. At the same time, rookie Shavon Revel was activated from the non football injury (NFI) list. While that doesn’t necessarily guarantee either will suit up in...

Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Booker (OG)

First Round

Booker’s tape against Arizona looked like grown-up guard play in a chaotic night. The Cardinals threw their whole disguise package at Dallas and Booker mostly kept his assignment clean. While the Cowboys were chasing the game, the box score says it all with five sacks for 40 yards, but this wasn’t a meltdown for Booker so much as...

Prior to the 2025 NFL trade deadline the Dallas Cowboys added linebacker Logan Wilson and also pulled off a blockbuster trade to acquire defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. Both of these moves were an attempt to upgrade their porous defense both for the present and the future. These are two savvy moves that will hopefully pay off, but help is still needed and free agents still on the open market could potentially help improve things further.

Here are a few players still available for the Dallas Cowboys should consider signing to further improve their roster for the rest of the season....

The Dallas Cowboys are sitting at 3-5-1, and we understand the issues they have on the defensive side of the ball, but after making a few trades last week that included getting Quinnen Williams for at least two more years was a solid move.

As we sit here about the start of week 11, after Jerry Jones traded away Micah Parsons a week before the season, everyone picked the Packers to win it all, but have you seen them play the last two weeks?

Sure, the defense is really good, but Jordan Love and that offense has people talking today....

The first half of the season was forgettable for the Dallas Cowboys as they have a 3-5-1 record to show for their work. It is clear that they have ambitions of a second half boom as they traded for Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams, but whether or not those and other reinforcements can save everything remains to be seen.

While the Cowboys were on bye last week, the rest of the NFL (save for the other bye teams) kept on with normal procedures. We saw some teams continue to establish themselves, some slip up, and the bottom of the barrel...

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off their bye week with another game in prime time on Monday night. They just played on Monday before the bye week, so it is a bit odd they are doing it again, but either way, we could see a few new starters when they kick off against the Las Vegas Raiders.

As you all know by now, two of those new players they got via trade last Tuesday, linebacker Logan Wilson and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

Yet two others could be on the way back from injury that at least would not hurt the...

In all likelihood, the race for the NFC East title ended Sunday night when the Eagles played less sucky football than the Packers.

The Eagles improved to 7-2 with the win and now hold a three-game lead over the Dallas Cowboys in the loss column.

The Commanders season, like the Cowboys, has come apart, and they have only the New York Giants to thank for not being in the cellar at 3-7.

The Giants sit at 2-8 after blowing a 10-point lead on Sunday at Chicago. That loss appears to have been the last straw at team headquarters.

On Monday,...

Dallas moved on from Micah Parsons in late August, bringing back two first-rounders and Pro Bowl nose tackle Kenny Clark. This past week they doubled down by trading for All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. They also added linebacker Logan Wilson at the deadline. The offensive line had a re-tool with 2025 first-rounder Tyler Booker stepping in at the vacant Zack Martin position. They’ve also recently added center Cooper Beebe, left tackle Tyler Guyton, and have the crown jewel of their line, Tyler Smith. Questions remain on whether the team will retain George Pickens and Javonte Williams after their one-year rentals,...

With two first-round draft picks in 2026, the Cowboys could fix their defense fast. Here’s how different combinations of Caleb Downs, Keldric Faulk, David Bailey, and Daylen Everette fit.

Two First-Round Picks, One Huge Opportunity

The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2026 NFL Draft with a rare advantage — two first-round selections, currently projected at No. 12 and No. 25 overall.

After a 2025 season plagued by defensive inconsistency and poor third-down efficiency, this draft could be a turning point.

The Cowboys have a chance to fix multiple weaknesses at once and finally build a defense that matches their...

Stephen Jones said the Cowboys are getting a defensive ‘quarterback’ back, and no one is talking about it – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports

The Cowboys have really struggled at safety all season. Will getting Malik Hooker back help at all?

Hooker was placed on Injured Reserve in early October after he suffered a toe injury during the Cowboys’ tie to the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Now, he’s trending toward returning from injury, though it remains unclear if he’ll be ready to go for Week 11. It sounds likely based on Jones’ comments.

For a game not involving the Cowboys, this one is probably among the most interesting for Dallas fans. NFC East rival Philadelphia battle a Micah Parsons-led Green Bay squad. Playoff and draft implications all rolled into one.

This is an open thread for game chat.

The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5-1 and spent the bye week recharging and replenishing. The latter is particularly true as Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams joined the fold. With players like DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel set to make their season debuts at some point soon, it isn’t unfair to say that things are going to look seriously different for a defense that has been among the NFL’s worst through the first half of the season.

It goes without saying that things are going to have to look different for the Cowboys to find themselves in the playoff picture at season’s...
