Cowboys news: Despite slow offseason, Dallas O/U win total surprisingly high

The 5 most surprising NFL win totals for the season include Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers - Frank Schwab, Yahoo.com

Despite not making big waves in free agency so far, Vegas still projects 10.5 wins for the Dallas Cowboys in 2024.

Dallas Cowboys, 10.5 wins

Two offseasons ago, the Cowboys’ win total was 10.5 and most bettors loved the under after some offseason losses. Dallas won 12 games. Last season, after a lot of negativity in the offseason, the Cowboys’ total opened at 9.5. Dallas won 12 games.

Delay of game: The Cowboys are dragging out Dak Prescott’s deal unnecessarily

Delay of game: The Cowboys are dragging out Dak Prescott’s deal unnecessarily

We continue to be mystified by the way this franchise operates.

It’s like there are two realities in the NFL, one where 31 teams mostly operate, and another one centered around Frisco, Texas that is the unique and puzzling world of the Dallas Cowboys. The latest example of how the Cowboys, which is to say the Jones family that owns them and makes the top level decisions, continually march to the beat of a different kazoo is the ongoing saga of Dak Prescott’s extension.

For most of the teams in the league, it is a fairly straightforward bit of logic...

What if Cowboys had listened to Mel Kiper and Todd McShay in the last 10 drafts?

What if Cowboys had listened to Mel Kiper and Todd McShay in the last 10 drafts?

Who would the Cowboys have drafted over the last decade if they listened to Mel Kiper and Todd McShay? We have the answers.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper and his former ESPN colleague Todd McShay are two of the biggest names in the mock draft business and have been for years. So today we ask ourselves what would have happened if the Cowboys had followed the pair’s mock draft suggestions in the first round of the last 10 drafts, and how that compares to what the Cowboys actually did - something we’ve done intermittently here on Blogging The Boys over the last...

Cowboys draft 2024: Pick 24 should give fans confidence

Cowboys draft 2024: Pick 24 should give fans confidence

The Cowboys have pick 24 in this year’s draft, which historically has been a good pick for them

While the Dallas Cowboys stay radio silent during the early free agency period, the NFL draft is quickly approaching and fans are rightfully concerned as to the direction the team is going. With the only move for an outside free agent being the signing of Eric Kendricks, it’s clear the Cowboys are looking to build through the draft, which isn’t a completely bad plan.

The Cowboys first selection on Day 1 comes in at pick 24, a pick that historically has worked...

Mike McCarthy, Mike Zimmer are dead men coaching

Mike McCarthy, Mike Zimmer are dead men coaching

In the last few days we've considered the possibility of a stealth rebuild in Dallas. And we've acknowledged that Jerry Jones' statements cannot be taken at face value.

Today, he could say no contract extensions, no trades, and no big free agent signings are pending.

Tomorrow, he could do all three.

As a Cowboys fan, all you can do is hang on for dear life. That, and wonder where the crazy train is going to veer off to next.

It isn't fair to the fans.

Nor is it fair...

Cowboys hope to extend QB Dak Prescott despite no offers, imminent talks on new long-term deal - Cody Benjamin, CBS Sports

It seems Dallas wants to keep Prescott, even if they wait to do so until next year.

Kirk Cousins was the rare longtime starting quarterback to hit the NFL’s open market in 2024. Dak Prescott could be next in 2025. Despite recently expressing confidence in securing a new long-term deal with the Dallas Cowboys, Prescott is now on track to play out his current contract in 2024, [according to NFL...

Cowboys draft 2024: WR Ladd McConkey scouting report 

Here is our scouting report on wide receiver Ladd McConkey from Georgia

Over the past few seasons, the Georgia Bulldogs have been a powerhouse in college football, sending countless defenders to the NFL. However, their offense is deserving of recognition, too. Led by Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey last season, the Bulldogs’ offense has been explosive. While most of the fanfare is levied towards Bowers, McConkey is uniquely skilled in his own right.

Eagles drawing on A.J. Brown experience to maximize Saquon Barkley - Dave Zangaro, NBC Sports Philadelphia

Philly’s goal is to get the most they can out of their free agent acquisition.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Eagles’ offensive coaches are already hard at work figuring out how to maximize Saquon Barkley.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said it’s an experience similar to when the Eagles traded for A.J. Brown in 2022.

The Cowboys have a coherence problem, and it starts with Jerry and Stephen Jones

This offseason is exhausting.

Having clearly defined objectives and an effective, implementable plan for achieving them are key principles for any organization. They certainly should apply to the Dallas Cowboys. Not only are they a multi-billion dollar sports and entertainment empire, they are a football team. The planning and clear goal of winning should just flow from the games themselves into all aspects of the team.

However, this runs counter to a characteristic of the team that is not as universal: Nothing is easy with the Cowboys.

The latest example of this is how we have had differing takes on...
