The latest news and updates around the Dallas Cowboys
Where has the time gone that Dak Prescott is entering year ten already?
Entering his 10th season, Dak Prescott is now the longest-tenured member of the Dallas Cowboys with the retirement of Zack Martin and the free agent loss of DeMarcus Lawrence.
“It’s amazing how fast it happens, yeah,” Prescott said after the second organized team activity of the Cowboys’ offseason program on Tuesday. “Not taking anything for granted.”
He joked his teammates call him the uncle.
Prescott, who turns 32 in July, was a fourth-round pick in 2016 and started all 122 games he has played. His 2024 season was cut short after eight games because of a hamstring avulsion that required surgery.

“Everything is kind of a business… So I wasn’t really too shocked or too excited,” Pickens said of his reaction to the trade. “I was just ready to work.”
Lamb and Pickens have already spent a lot of time together and are working to build their relationship further, from participating in Cardinals QB Kyler Murray’s charity softball event to working off to the side with WRs coach Junior Adams in practice. It’s all the building blocks for what they both hope will build into a duo that plays well off one another.
“We compliment each other very well,” Lamb said. “He’s a tall figure, his ability to go up and get the ball at the highest point is amazing… He’s up there with the [best] guys in the league as far as 50/50 balls, deep threat, anything as far as running routes, it’s pretty good. It’s...
