A couple of days after Dallas poached Christian Parker from the Eagles’ coaching staff, Philly tried for a little revenge. The Eagles’ reportedly asked to interview Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams for the same job, but Dallas denied the request.

The Cowboys were able to block Philly’s access to Adams according to NFL rules for lateral moves among coaches. When a new team is offering a promotion, as Dallas did with Parker, the current employer cannot stop them. Parker was serving as the Eagles’ defensive backs coach and was still under contract for 2026, but the Cowboys made him their...

The NFL playoffs roll on. First up the Patriots at the Broncos, then the Rams at the Seahawks.

This is an open thread for game chat.

All year long we’ve looked at the rookie class and given previews and reviews on each player for every game of the season. Now let’s look back the season in its entirety and breakdown each rookie and how they performed. Let’s continue with seventh-round running back Phil Mafah.

Season stats- Snaps: 10, Rush Attempts: 5, Rush Yards: 18, YPC: 3.6, TD: 1

Mafah’s rookie season was almost entirely in the shadows, but Week 18 at MetLife at least gave him something real to hang his helmet on. He was inactive all year, partly due to injury, until the finale against...

It’s coach hiring season in the NFL.

With only four teams remaining fighting for a Super Bowl appearance, the remaining teams who need to fill spots on the sideline are hard at work.

There were a record 10 head coaching vacancies in this hiring cycle, and that doesn’t count all of the coordinator vacancies that also need to be filled.

Some notable hires include former Baltimore Ravens HC John Harbaugh to the New York Giants, former Cleveland Browns HC Kevin Stefanski to the Falcons, and former San Francisco 49ers DC Robert Saleh to the Tennessee Titans.

The most recent hire...

The New England Patriots step into the AFC Championship game in a very rare position: they are on the road in one of the league’s toughest environments, facing the one seed, and they are the favorites to win.

Mike Vrabel’s boys are coming off two solid playoff wins, but both came at home, and they were far from underdogs in each matchup.

Rather than some major momentum or postseason dominance slotting them ahead of the Denver Broncos today, it is a fluke, last-minute injury to former first-round pick, Bo Nix, that has vaulted New England out of the expected underdog...

11 years and seven days ago, the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a miraculous comeback against the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers to advance to the Super Bowl; it was their second conference championship in a row.

Of course, that appearance in the big game against Tom Brady, or perhaps more notably,...

The Dallas Cowboys have 22 players (UFA/RFA) who will officially hit the open market in a little less than two months. Today, we kick off a series examining each of the Cowboys’ impending free agents, reviewing their 2025 campaign and predicting what will be next for each player.

We start our free agent profile series with a bang, taking a look at arguably Dallas’ best offensive player last season, wide receiver George Pickens.

2025 Regular Season Stats: 17G, 93 Receptions, 67.9% Catch Percentage, 1,429 Receiving Yards, 15.4 Y/Rec, 65.0% Receiving Success Rate, 9 TDs

Year Review: Coming into the 2025...

Life as a Dallas Cowboys fan is difficult.

Unless you are one, you wouldn’t know. We suffer through a 30-year long disease of mediocrity.

There is just enough excitement and success to keep us hooked, but not enough success to satisfy or keep opposing fan bases from poking fun at our team’s failures.

The Brian Schottenheimer era kicked off in 2025, and although it didn’t end how we would have wanted to, the future looks bright.

Dallas took an unorthodox (for them) approach to fill the offensive coordinator position, and it paid off well.

Usually known to hire ex-head coaches...

Cole Wisniewski is worth paying attention to as the Dallas Cowboys look at what this defense needs to become under Christian Parker.

If Dallas is serious about improving, which it looks like the team is, this is the type of safety who makes sense for the new defensive coordinator.

We will here draft hype on several players, but that’s just it, hype. The Dallas Cowboys have to start thinking about fit when it comes to the changes that need to be made in 2026.

Christian Parker Changes the Narrative for the Cowboys Defense

The Cowboys haven’t lacked talent...

The Dallas Cowboys saved the best for last. Following the in-person interviews with Daronte Jones and Jonathan Gannon, the Cowboys had their final scheduled interview with Christian Parker on Wednesday. Dallas was so impressed that they decided to call off the search. They had their guy.

On Thursday, it was reported that the team and Parker had agreed to a deal that would make him the next defensive coordinator. At just 34 years old, Parker becomes the youngest DC in team history. Parker has his work cut out for him trying to turn around a historically bad Dallas defense that...

Say what you want about the Divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. They were anything but boring.

Even the beat down the Seahawks put on the 49ers was fun.

Unless you are a 49ers fan and quite frankly, too bad, it was fun to watch.

The final four teams are in. And can someone explain to me how the Patriots keep getting these kinds of breaks in 2025?

The softest schedule in recent memory, if not the entire history of the NFL.

Then they draw a weakened Los Angeles Chargers team in the wildcard round.

As if that wasn’t bad...

Steelers hire Mike McCarthy: Former Cowboys, Packers coach to succeed Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh – Bryan DeArdo, CBS Sports

After a year out of football, former Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy lands on his feet in Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have reached an agreement to hire Mike McCarthy as their next coach, the team announced. McCarthy is set to succeed Mike Tomlin while becoming only the team’s fourth head coach since Chuck Noll was hired way back in 1969. A Pittsburgh native, the 62-year-old McCarthy took the 2025 season off after spending the previous five seasons as the...
