The latest news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys.
Multiple reunions are being had among the Cowboys’ assistant coaches.
FRISCO, Texas — Reunited and it feels so good? Considering just how prevalent reunions are becoming within the Dallas Cowboys organization, to a level that would make the legendary musical duo of Peaches and Herb proud, it felt only right they figured out a way to deliver on a different angle of it — with the help of newly-signed offensive line coach Conor Riley.
This is of course because not only is it Riley’s first-ever go at the NFL level, but landing in Dallas by way of Kansas State puts him back in the same room as Cooper Beebe, a former third-round pick of the 2024 NFL Draft who was groomed for professional dominance by none other than Riley in Manhattan, Kansas.
And, interestingly enough, it was also Riley who moved Beebe to offense in the first place.
“It was a unique situation in that Cooper was in high school when I took the Kansas State job, and he was initially going to be a defensive lineman,” Riley said of the young Cowboys’ starting center. “His dad joked to the staff [about the offensive line] in one of my home visits while recruiting.

So that versatility that he has really gives us a great opportunity to find the best fit for everybody up front.”
The Cowboys should be on the ball with Parsons’ new deal.
How Cowboys should approach Parsons deal
The Cowboys’ plan should be to call Parsons’ bluff so he can put his money where his mouth is with a contract extension coming as soon as possible. Dallas should try to get Parsons to follow in the footsteps of DeMarcus Lawrence although he is better than the 11-year veteran was in his prime. Parsons has 52.5 sacks in four NFL seasons, making him one of just two players to ever record at least 12 sacks in each of his first four campaigns. The other person in this exclusive club is Hall of Fame defensive lineman Reggie...
