Cowboys 2026 offseason preview: Quarterbacks

Cowboys 2026 offseason preview: Quarterbacks

The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of work to do this offseason to get better results in 2026. One position they likely won’t do much with, though, is quarterback. With both Dak Prescott and Joe Milton III signed beyond next year and expected to return in the same roles, the only news at this spot may go no further than the practice squad.

Under Contract

Dak Prescott – After what many considered a resurgent year for Prescott, the 32-year-old has as strong a grip on the starting job as ever. Even if Dallas was waffling, his contract makes it...

What Will The NFL’s Conference Championship Round Look Like?

What Will The NFL’s Conference Championship Round Look Like?

Can you believe we are hours away from the final four being set? Following Saturday’s divisional round matchups, half of the NFL’s Conference Championship round is set, and the other half will join Seattle and Denver later today.

Yesterday, we watched an electrifying game between the Broncos and the Bills; it is hard to believe now that Josh Allen, the reigning MVP, failed to show up when it mattered, and Bo Nix did; yet, neither will play next round.

Broncos QB Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken bone in his ankle during today’s overtime, victory over Buffalo.

The Buffalo Bills are the dynasty that never was

The Buffalo Bills are the dynasty that never was

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, through tears and sobs at the podium after losing a heartbreaker to the Denver Broncos in overtime, took full responsibility for the loss.

Allen claimed he let his team down, but his teammates, namely OL Dion Dawkins did not agree.

The Bills, led by Allen, finished the season with a 12-5 record and the sixth seed in the conference.

He had his usual statistical results, throwing and running all over defenses, willing his team to victory, and finishing the year with 3,668 yards passing, 39 total touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions on 69.3% passing.

Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator candidate profile: Jim Leonhard

Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator candidate profile: Jim Leonhard

The Cowboys are moving on to the second round of interviews for their defensive coordinator vacancy, and Broncos pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard has emerged as a top target. Here is a deep dive on Leonhard, his background as a coach, and what he would bring to the Dallas defense.

Background

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Leonhard played both quarterback and safety in high school before walking on at Wisconsin. Quickly becoming a starting safety, Leonhard was twice named to the First Team All-Big Ten team before his senior year, at which point he was finally put on scholarship....

Bo Nix’s season is over after suffering an injury in victory over Buffalo

Bo Nix’s season is over after suffering an injury in victory over Buffalo

Denver Broncos fans were ecstatic after the 33-30 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills, but those feelings are now tempered after receiving devastating news.

QB Bo Nix, who had a breakout season in his second season under HC and quarterback guru, Sean Payton, broke a bone in his right ankle and will undergo season-ending surgery this week.

Nix, with the help of a stifling defense, led the Broncos to the top seed in the AFC, and fans had Super Bowl aspirations for the first time since 2013.

Now, they will have to wait and see if they have enough at...

Cowboys May Pass on a Bronco for Daronte Jones as Defensive Coordinator

Cowboys May Pass on a Bronco for Daronte Jones as Defensive Coordinator

I’ve gone back and forth on the Cowboys defensive coordinator search more times than I can count, and I keep circling back to Daronte Jones.

Not because he’s trendy, or a big name.

The truth is simple, the more I look at what Dallas needs, Daronte Jones background checks more boxes than I expected.

We can’t ignore what the Vikings put on the field last season. They didn’t just play solid defense, they made quarterbacks think about decisions.

Cowboys found their 1-2 receiving tandem in 2025

Cowboys found their 1-2 receiving tandem in 2025

When it comes to the successful Dallas Cowboys teams of the past, they’ve had one thing in common. A serious 1-2 receiving combo that defenses had to respect.

They had it with Drew Pearson and Butch Johnson in the 1970s.

And again with Michael Irvin and Alvin Harper in the early 1990s.

Since then, they’ve been searching to recapture that magic. They thought they had it with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup but that never materialized.

In 2025, at least for one year, the Cowboys found that magical combo and the passing game thrived.

CeeDee Lamb entered the season as...

The Cowboys defensive coordinator search may have to wait some more.

Former Cowboys pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence headed to NFC Championship Game with Seahawks

DeMarcus Lawrence will get to play in an NFC Championship Game.

In his first season away from the Cowboys, Lawrence will officially reach the territory that has eluded the Cowboys since well before the team traded up to draft him in the second-round of the 2014 NFL Draft. This marks the second year in a row where a former Cowboys player made it to the title game in their first season away from the team, by the way.

Last year it was Tyler Biadasz, Dorance Armstrong, Noah Igbinoghene, and Dante Fowler (who later returned obviously) who were a part of...
