Cowboys legends new and old were well represented here.

There are a lot of ways to look at the last 25 years of Dallas Cowboys football, but unfortunately, the most common theme throughout this era is that it represents the vast majority of the franchise’s drought of not appearing in the NFC Championship game since 1996. Every fan and follower of the team may have a slightly different take on what part of this drought hits home the most, but one of them is undeniable. Over this time, the Cowboys have not gone without their share of great players and...

Former NFL WR Henry Ruggs may have made a brief public appearance this past week, but let’s be clear, he remains behind bars.

Serving time for a tragic 2021 DUI crash that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog, Ruggs isn’t eligible for parole until August 2026.

Still, speculation has already begun about what might come next for the once-promising 1st round pick.

If you’re a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, you’ve seen this movie before.

Jerry Jones, the team’s longtime owner and general manager, has a well-documented history of giving second chances, and in some cases, third and fourth,...

Jonathan Mingo is going to get a full year with the Cowboys for the first time.

There is zero doubt what your answer would be. If asked for the most impactful (in terms of how we view it in the future) move the Dallas Cowboys made this season, it feels certain that you would mention the trade acquisition of George Pickens.

This is fair. Pickens has an enormous level of talent and we anticipate that he will join the Cowboys and be a rising tide that helps lift the boats of CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, Jake Ferguson and others.

The Cowboys Are Getting Creative—and It Could Pay Off Big

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Dallas Cowboys are undergoing a strategic offensive shift that goes far beyond the headlines.

While fans focus on stars like CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, and Micah Parsons, it’s the under-the-radar players who are quietly redefining the offense.

This offseason, the Cowboys’ position changes in 2025 are a clear sign of innovation. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and his staff are experimenting with unorthodox alignments and hybrid roles to add new layers to the playbook.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the reps...

We all know the traditional rivals of the Cowboys... but is there a non-traditional NFL team that you also dislike? If so, why?

There are Dallas Cowboys fans all over the world. This circumstance leads us to different approaches to fandom. We all share the same general fandom in that we root for the team and root against division rivals, but perhaps you also root against a team that somebody else does.

To be more specific as a hypothetical, it is possible that you live in an area that has another strong NFL presence and so that fanbase annoys you....

Arguably the best linebacker on the Dallas Cowboys is Micah Parsons, and he’s mostly used as an edge rusher. Their second-best player at the position is out until late in the year.

While DeMarvion Overshown continues to work his way back from a second knee injury, his return isn’t expected until Thanksgiving Day at the earliest.

Which leaves eight linebackers on the roster to pick up the slack.

Which of them will step up and fill the void until Overshown returns? More importantly, how does this unit compare to the other three NFC East teams?

New Faces In The Room...

Where do you think the Cowboys offense and defense will rank in 2025?

There's a cloud of mystery surrounding the Dallas Cowboys right now under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer. With the help of free agency, trades, and the 2025 NFL Draft it's looks as if he's put together a pretty solid roster with quite a bit of upside. However, even the positivity surrounding this team right now in no way equates to success this season.

It's still way too early to predict with any kind of accuracy how the Cowboys will do this season, but that doesn't stop any...

The moment the camera caught Duece Vaughn getting the call from his dad, it was the best story of the 2023 NFL draft, but nearly a year later, it is now or never for Vaughn.

After the NFL Draft, it’s gotten that much tougher with Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah both being selected. Plus, new coach Brian Schottenheimer can squint and envision them as potential starters.

Now, with OTAs over, Vaughn still has a huge hill to climb with Miles Sanders, Javonte Williams, Blue, Mafah, and even fullback Hunter Luepke ahead of him.

In two seasons and just 14 games...

When August rolls around, Milton should spice up exhibition football for the Cowboys.

It’s nice to have a backup quarterback. For the Dallas Cowboys, we won’t know if they fall into that category or not until we get a good glimpse of second-year player Joe Milton III. In April, the Cowboys traded a fifth-round pick to acquire Milton from the Patriots. Dallas also got a seventh-round pick in return. After being taken in the sixth round in the 2024 draft, Milton played one game for New England last year. He performed well, but the Patriots had a crowded quarterback room...

What position is still a weakness for the Cowboys?
