After two straight years of “plug and play” success with starting running backs, the Cowboys face an interesting offseason dilemma in 2026. Will they pay market value for Javonte Williams after a breakout year or go the cheap route, either leaning on their younger prospects or looking for another free agent bargain?

Under Contract

Jaydon Blue – One of two intriguing rookies from last year’s draft, Blue spent most of 2025 in the coaches’ doghouse. He did some much-needed flashing in the finale, posting 64 yards and his only touchdown against the Giants. It was hardly enough to say...

The Dallas Cowboys have a critical offseason ahead of them. With the New York Giants going out and hiring John Harbaugh as their next head coach, the NFC East has three coaches leading their teams who have made a Super Bowl in their careers. The only one yet to make one is Brian Schottenheimer.

With the division looking a lot more competitive than it has in recent history, there’s a chance whoever finishes last in the NFC East has a winning record. Look at the NFC North. The Detroit Lions were fourth in their division with a 9-8 record. They...

In the midst of the 2025 NFL Playoffs, the teams who did not qualify for the postseason have been hard at work preparing for the 2026 campaign.

The Dallas Cowboys are one of those teams, and they have been scouring the defensive coordinator market after relieving Matt Eberflus of his duties.

Offensively, the Cowboys had one of the most successful seasons in recent memory, led by QB Dak Prescott and what many can argue has been his best season performance, to date.

However, defensively, it was the worst defensive performance in franchise history.

Maybe losing All-Pro EDGE Micah Parsons had...

The Tennessee Titans have just made 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh their next head coach. That may seem like a weird news post for a Cowboys blog, but the ripple effect could impact Dallas’ search for its next defensive boss. Current defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton, who is among the interviewed candidates for the DC job, may be on Saleh’s wishlist for his staff in Tennessee.

When Saleh was the head coach of the New York Jets from 2021-2024, Whitecotton was his defensive line coach. After Saleh was fired two years ago, Whitecotton was able to make the lateral move...

The Dallas Cowboys are in the middle of a defensive coordinator search and matters on the coaching front were made more complicated across the entire NFL on Monday when the Buffalo Bills fired Sean McDermott.

While the New York Giants (John Harbaugh) and Atlanta Falcons (Kevin Stefanski) have filled their vacancies at head coach there are still eight teams looking for gaffers. This means that there are eight full staffs that will be filled and that doesn’t even include the teams looking for coordinators like the Cowboys. The point is that the dominoes haven’t even begun to fall, so to...

As the NFL season inches closer to the end, the final four teams remain. The Rams, Broncos, Seahawks and Patriots.

With the four teams that are left, we saw a common theme from them in the divisional round that got them in position to play for a chance to go to the Super Bowl.

Winning with defense

If you did not watch the games this past weekend, please don’t try and make this an argument.

The difference between the teams that are left and the Dallas Cowboys is that all of these teams are capable of winning football games...

All year long we’ve looked at the rookie class and given previews and reviews on each player for every game of the season. Now let’s look back the season in its entirety and breakdown each rookie and how they performed. Let’s continue with fifth-round running back Jaydon Blue.

Season stats- Total Snaps: 78, Rush Attempts: 38, Rush Yards: 129, YPC: 3.4, TD: 1, First Downs: 7, Fum: 1

Blue’s rookie year in Dallas was a mix of flashes and frustration, and the numbers show how little the Cowboys ultimately trusted him. On the surface, his production is modest but not...

Every time a linebacker comes up with the Dallas Cowboys, the conversation immediately turns to speed, upside, and highlight plays.

And why wouldn’t it? Doesn’t everyone want that type of player roaming the second level?

I would love for the Cowboys to get that in the first, but if that player isn’t available, I’m not chasing and overdrafting.

I would chase a linebacker later in the draft. I would chase a linebacker archetype this defense has missed for a few years.

The Type of Linebacker the Cowboys Have Missed

[The kind of player the Cowboys are missing at...

Since the 2022 draft, the Dallas Cowboys have spent three first round picks, and a third rounder, on the offensive line.

Based on how the 2025 season played out, they’ll probably need to spend at least one pick in the 2026 draft on an offensive tackle.

This will be problematic since they have two first-round picks and none in the second and third rounds. Making matters worse, they almost have to spend those two firsts on the defense.

That, or find one in free agency.

Quality tackles are not easily found in free agency.

Perhaps the best option for Dallas...

Latest NFL head coaching hire may lead to Cowboys coach leaving Brian Schottenheimer’s staff – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports

Coaching changes are at a fever pitch in the NFL right now, but it’s yet to affect Brian Schottenheimer’s staff going into year two.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer is busy finding his next defensive coordinator, but now his Dallas Cowboys may have to replace another coach on the offensive side of the ball. And they may need to do it very soon.

That’s because on Monday, the Miami Dolphins [hired Jeff Hafley as their next...

The college football championship is tonight as Miami and Indiana battle for the title.

This is an open thread for game chat.

The Dallas Cowboys have been focused on the 2026 season for a few weeks now as they did not make the playoffs. Matters with this team relate to the future, but for four groups across the rest of the NFL the 2025 season is still alive and well.

We have indeed reached the Conference Championship games and in the Cowboys’ conference, the NFC, it features a clash between division rivals in the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. It will obviously be the third meeting between the two this season as they are division rivals.

Here’s the thing. The Seahawks...
