We are inching closer and closer to training camp beginning for every NFL team, and when it does all of the offseason storylines and narratives will officially be a thing of the past. Not quite yet, though.

This week ESPN has been slow-dripping positional rankings that they assemble through their filtering of opinions from NFL executives, coaches, and scouts. The premise behind the series is that ESPN’s sourcing is providing a ranking of each position group across the league through the eyes of the most influential people currently in it.

So far things have been rather chalk in terms of...

This season, the Dallas Cowboys have the fifth toughest schedule in the NFL. In recent discussions about the Cowboys’ strength of schedule, opinions have been divided about whether a soft or a tough schedule is more conducive to playoff success.

Proponents of a soft schedule usually argue that being well rested and healthy as a result of a softer schedule is an advantage going into the playoffs. And then there’s a school of thought arguing it’s better playing tougher opponents, because your team will be battle tested entering the playoffs – you’ve beaten good teams and as a result, your...

Klayton Adams has head coach buzz because of the Cowboys run game turnaround, but his resume still needs a closer look before anyone crowns him.

The thing is, I’m not going to pretend Klayton Adams has a perfect road sitting in front of him. He doesn’t, but I’m also not going to throw the whole idea in the trash.

I see the argument for this guy, and I also see the red flags in his coaching background. Klayton Adams lands in two buckets of coaching types. He is a non-play-calling offensive coordinator. The second is he is also an offensive...

The Cowboys don’t need another headache, but is Terrion Arnold worth a look for a potentially subpar cornerbacks room?

Here’s the thing, Terrion Arnold isn’t some free-agent corner sitting around in July waiting for a camp invite. He’s a former first-round pick with a ton of talent, and also has serious felony charges hanging over him right now.

Dallas would be dumb to ignore either side.

He was released by the Detroit Lions after being arrested in connection with kidnapping and armed robbery charges. He has since pleaded not guilty. Therefore, this case is not close to being finished.

Mailbag: Would adding Von Miller make sense for Cowboys’ defense? – Nick Eatman, DallasCowboys.com

Would Von Miller improve the Cowboys pass rush?

With Von Miller’s recent post on his social media that had him in a Cowboys uniform, is that foreshadowing of what’s to come? Or is that common for players without a team to post that? Either way, my real question is if a move like that would make sense for the Cowboys? He’s older but still seems productive. – Jeff Lyons / Claremore, Okla. Nick: A few questions to address here. For one, no I don’t...

Roughly six months after Dallas traded an edge rusher to the Packers, they sent one our way in a separate deal. Instead of continuing to work with former Cowboy Micah Parsons in Green Bay, Rashan Gary will now be looking help fill the void he left in Dallas’ pass rush.

Background

Years in NFL: 7
Acquired by: Trade (2026)

A highly-touted prospect coming out of Michigan in 2019, Gary was drafted 12th overall by the Packers: Matt LaFleur’s first pick as Green Bay head coach. Despite the high drafting, Gary spent his rookie year as a backup to Preston...

Where would you rank the Dallas Cowboys projected starters across the rest of the NFL? Take a minute and think about it. Obviously you know how the worldwide leader ranked them. Before we move on it is important for us each to set our own expectations for what we think is fair and what we think isn’t.

You are well aware that ESPN ranked Dallas as right around average. This happened this week when ESPN launched a ranking of all projected starters across the NFL. The Cowboys came in at number 14 and here is what ESPN had to say...

*It is Day 66 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and...

The Dallas Cowboys will begin training camp later this month. All of the roster will be under pressure to perform, but newcomers often face extra pressure. Each of the four players below has arrived under different circumstances, and the different positional situations around the team has applied different pressures and expectations for each of these players.

Cobie Durant

Durant has been part of many conversations thus far, and for good reason: he was as solid as they come at cornerback in Los Angeles, and now, in Dallas, the Cowboys will be asking a lot of the fifth-year pro.

For...

It is important to have a spectrum of sorts. We all have hopes, wants, wishes, dreams, ambitions, you name it. There are ways that we’d all like to see this upcoming Dallas Cowboys season go. In a perfect world, stop me if you have heard this before, this would be the one that finally delivers the ring, the one ring to rule them all, to Mordor.

You never know, though. Seasons can go a number of different ways because they are built upon a number of different things, including a number of different players. There are always a wide range...

No one could have predicted the bizarre chain of events that led to Brian Schottenheimer taking over as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. This team is no stranger to drama, so of course, the transition had to include a messy divorce from former head coach Mike McCarthy and a puzzling search for the team’s new leader. When things first went down, it felt like a safe, uninspired fallback option to acquire another Jerry Jones “yes man” coach. Honestly, we have no idea how this script is going to play out, but we are at least starting to get...

As I have been working my way down the Dallas Cowboys depth chart and finding players that I have not touched on much, I ran into a guy that I did indeed speak about last year a few times.

Jay Toia, entering his second year with Dallas out of UCLA, once had high hopes to play meaningful full snaps on the defensive line and with how bad it was last year, you probably thought he’d have that chance.

Now, after revamping it, his hopes are starting to come crashing down.

He’s gonna fight Jay Toia for that last DT...
