Asante Samuel Jr. would be a strong addition to the Dallas Cowboys secondary thanks to his proven success in zone coverage under Jesse Minter — the same defensive style Matt Eberflus runs in Dallas.

A Scheme Match Built on Experience

The Dallas Cowboys should continue to evaluate ways to strengthen their secondary. One name stands out as a natural schematic fit — Asante Samuel Jr.

After thriving in a zone-heavy defensive system under Jesse Minter with the Los Angeles Chargers, Samuel’s experience and skill set align perfectly with what Matt Eberflus is building in Dallas.

Eberflus, much like...

The Dallas Cowboys made a serious commitment to working in the future on Tuesday.

In trading for Quinnen Williams (Logan Wilson, too!) the Cowboys surrendered a second-round pick next year and the better of their...

The Dallas Cowboys shook the NFL world with their trade for New York Jets star DT Quinnen Williams just before the deadline on Tuesday.

In exchange for the three-time Pro Bowler, Dallas sent Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick, and the better of their two 2027 first-rounders to New York.

The move signaled that the Cowboys are serious about rebuilding their once-feared defense, which has fallen apart over the past two seasons.

However, the fallout from that blockbuster deal (and the subsequent trade of cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner to the Colts) has caused unrest in the Jets’ locker room.

The Dallas Cowboys rewarded Donovan Ezeiruaku with his first career start on Monday night and the rookie did not disappoint. Shemar James started his fourth straight game and had a solid game as well.

The two rookies were some of the few bright spots during Dallas’ loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night.

Ezeiruaku collected his second sack of the year and added three tackles, including one for a loss.

The second round pick back in April had his highest snap count at 51. That equated to 76.1% of the total defensive snaps.

Jadeveon Clowney, a 12-year veteran, got...

It was reported on Thursday morning that Marshawn Kneeland tragically died at the age of 24.

As details unfolded in the aftermath, it was reported that Kneeland died by suicide as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

This is a horrific and unspeakable tragedy. Kneeland was just 24 years old. The Dallas Cowboys drafted him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown just this past Monday night for all the world to see. There is no way to convey how devastating this news is.

The Dallas Cowboys used their bye week to reset, refocus, and reload on defense.
After battling through inconsistency and injuries, Matt Eberflus finally has a chance to get his full complement of defensive talent on the field.

Four key reinforcements — DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel Jr., Logan Wilson, and Quinnen Williams — are set to take the field for the stretch run. Each one fills a major hole that’s plagued this defense through the first half of the season.

DeMarvion Overshown: A True Breakout Candidate in Year Two

Now in his second NFL season, Overshown looks poised to...

The Dallas Cowboys have announced that Marshawn Kneeland, their 24-year-old defensive end, died early this morning.

There is no way around the shock and sadness of this tragedy: Kneeland was one of the youngest players on the Dallas roster, and his energy, team-driven mentality, and promising future made him a bright light in the organization.

On Monday, the former second-round pick scored the first touchdown of his career on a blocked punt; it is unimaginable that just a few days later, he would pass away.

Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that a spokesperson for the Plano Police...

Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away on Thursday morning.

The Dallas Cowboys announced the news. He was 24 years old.

“It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning,” the Cowboys’ statement read. “Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family.”

The Cowboys selected Marshawn Kneeland in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Western Michigan. He had taken on a larger role this season.

The Cowboys and Marshawn’s agent both released statements...

The 3-5-1 Dallas Cowboys won’t be back on the field until November 17th, yet another Monday Night Football game at the Las Vegas Raiders, but after this Monday’s loss at home to the Arizona Cardinals, the sense of positive anticipation for this game, or any of the much tougher ones that follow it, is woefully low. By dropping back-to-back games with hardly much competitiveness in either loss at the Broncos or versus the Cardinals, there’s no doubt the entire tenor of this 2025 Cowboys season has shifted quite dramatically over the last two weeks.

The organization was active on Tuesday’s...
