It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How two people look at something could yield two entirely different points of evaluation. If you think it is worth a lot then you would likely be willing to pay a heavier price than someone who doesn’t. This disposition often comes into play relative to rosters in the NFL, but there are certain rules that make things more objective.

Relative to football and the finances of constructing a roster there are five positions that generally command more money than the others. It pays to be a quarterback,...

Summer is often for the shiny, new toys in the NFL, leaving yesteryear’s prospects outside of the initial spotlight. Caelen Carson is going into his third season as an afterthought in the Cowboys’ revamped secondary, but could be a bigger factor in training camp than you might think.

Background

Years in NFL: 2
Acquired by: 2024 5th-round pick

Two years ago, some considered Carson as a steal for Dallas in the fifth round. At least one scout had him as a Day 2 prospect. The hype accelerated in the spring and summer practices as Carson was consistently praised for...

*It is Day 57 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and...

The Dallas Cowboys are on the cusp of training camp. Let’s break down some position battles and make some predictions for camp. Let’s start with none other than the QB position.

Prediction – Sam Howell will win the QB battle behind Dak Prescott

Of course, at this stage, the quarterback position in Dallas’ camp isn’t about whether Dak Prescott wins the job. It’s about who will be the backup QB behind Prescott should he go down for any period of time. It ahs been noted that since 2020 Prescott has missed five or more games every other season. He...

In the grander scheme of things, there’s not a whole lot to worry about as it pertains to the Dallas Cowboys offense. After re-signing running back Javonte Williams to a long-term contract and placing the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, the Cowboys will once again run it back with their entire starting offense from a season ago in 2026.

With the band back together, we can assume they will be one of the best offensive units in the entire league. Opposing defensive coordinators will have a year’s worth of film to study Brian Schottenheimer’s play-calling, but on the...

You remember the hype that was flowing from the Dallas faithful after the NFL Draft this year? The addition of Caleb Downs fired the fans up and has them anticipating this as the most impactful Cowboys draft class in years.

With the aforementioned Buckeyes star, an extra first-round pick, and a slew of other defensive additions, it is hard to blame fans for their excitement.

My only question is this: will the 2026 draft class be the most impactful of the Cowboys’ recent classes this season? After all, the two that preceded the Downs class have NFL experience and development...

The Dallas Cowboys head out to training camp in California at the end of this month, and this means that after one week into August, they will have spent a week in Oxnard.

That point is important for today’s discussion because we are about to look into that exact spot in the future. Here are three headlines that we predict will emerge from the first week of Cowboys training camp.

Ryan Flournoy could start elsewhere

Something we will likely see when training camp begins is the Cowboys taking things slow with George Pickens. CeeDee Lamb will also likely get...

A little while ago, we asked you which 2025 playoff teams you thought would not make it back to the playoffs in 2026, and the voting showed four strong candidates. The Panthers (36.6% of the votes) are seen as the team most likely to not make it back to the playoffs. The Eagles came in second (17.8%), but were followed closely by the Packers (16.1%) and Bears (15.1%).

Although the poll was about which teams would not repeat their playoff appearance, reversing the vote count gives us an early peek at how the NFC playoff seeding could play out, at...

Dak Prescott: Every season with Cowboys is ‘Super Bowl or bust’ – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

Dak Prescott doesn’t back down from the challenge of winning a title.

FRISCO, Texas – Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has never shied away from the fact that each season, he and his teammates have one goal: Win the Super Bowl.

When Super Bowl LXI comes around on February 14, 2027, it’ll be over 31 years since Dallas last hoisted the Lombardi trophy. Regardless of the results of years past, the expectation to be at the top of the NFL remains the same...

Will Grier retired from the NFL at 31, but I have a hard time believing he’s done with football.

The Carolina Panthers placed him on the reserve/retired list after bringing him back on a one-year deal this offseason. We all know his playing career never turned into much, at least according to the stats column.

Grier had two regular-season appearances with no wins and a whole lot of bouncing around the league.

If history tells us anything about those types of players, they normally disappear without anybody saying much, but Will Grier is different.

Us Cowboys fans may remember him...

For all the attention given to the Cowboys’ defense this offseason, offensive tackle may be as problematic as any single position. That’s why Drew Shelton became the first offensive player taken in Dallas’ 2026 draft class and is someone to watch in training camp.

Shelton’s coming off a four-year run at Penn State where he was a full-time starter at left tackle for the last two seasons. His junior year was the best for the Nittany Lions, going 13-3 and advancing to the CFP Semifinal. He was an honorable...

We are a stone’s throw away from training camp beginning, and this being the case, the normal happenings of professional football will be dominating our lives on a day-to-day basis soon enough.

The last few months have been an exercise in holding our attention until the real thing can. One of the best ways to do this is with things like rankings which is why ESPN’s lists at every position are so popular.

In case you are unaware, ESPN puts together rankings at every position that are assembled on their sourcing of league executives, coaches, and scouts. The idea here...
