The Cowboys struck gold with a free agent signing at RB with Javonte Williams last season, could they do it again with Nick Chubb?
ESPN’s Matt Bowen recently named the best fits for the NFL’s remaining free agents, and he listed the Cowboys for Chubb. A former second-team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler, the veteran running back fits the Cowboys’ free agency mold.
Following a brutal knee injury in 2023, Chubb’s career took a...

It is hard to believe it was almost 35 years ago. The Dallas Cowboys stormed to victory at Super Bowl XXVII in Pasadena and launched a dynasty. Nobody knew that was the case for certain at the time, but obviously a lot of people had a good idea based on how they played and were looking as a nucleus.
So many lives were changed through the course of that victory in the Rose Bowl, and one of them was Steve Beuerlein’s. Many Cowboys fans remember Beuerlein as the backup quarterback who Jimmy Johnson trusted in the playoffs the year prior,...

When the Dallas Cowboys visits the Indianapolis Colts on November 8th, the most compelling matchup may not be a quarterback duel or a trench battle. It may be Cowboys rookie defensive back Caleb Downs against Colts slot receiver Josh Downs, his older brother.
The family angle is obvious, but the football ramifications are bigger. Dallas did not draft Caleb Downs merely to be a deep safety. The Cowboys moved up one spot to take him 11th overall, and the team has already described him as capable of handling nickel, safety and cornerback responsibilities. He will essentially be the quarterback of...

Intent on erasing the struggles of a year ago, the Dallas Cowboys front office has made a concerted effort this offseason to fix their defense. With some key trades, increased free agent spending, and added draft capital, this team is not messing around when it comes to throwing more resources at defense. We all know about the bigger name players like Rashan Gary and Jalen Thompson, or even the quieter, but still pleasing moves to bring in Dee Winters and Cobie Durant, but one acquisition that remains largely undiscussed is free agent defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia. Today, we’ll take a...

The Dallas Cowboys are back where the NFL so often puts them, in front of everyone. With seven standalone national games on the 2026 schedule, including six in primetime, Dallas remains one of the league’s most reliable television draws and one of its most scrutinized teams. For the Cowboys, that is both a compliment and a challenge. The schedule says the league still sees Dallas as must-watch football, but the schedule contortions can get crazy.
The Cowboys’ national profile is not new, but this schedule reinforces how much the franchise still matters to the NFL’s entertainment product. Dallas opens the...

It is the middle of May and things are very quiet right now before the offseason programs start to pick up when we hit the summer months.
So as I do every Monday when I get to work, I look down the Dallas Cowboys depth chart and start thinking about players and different things to think about, and notice it has been awhile since we talked about KaVontae Turpin.
Well, Turpin signed a three-year deal worth up to nearly $18 million a year ago if you remember.
The reason he earned that contract was his great year in 2024, and...
The full 2026 Dallas Cowboys schedule is here, and at first glance many fans are in agreement that it is an overall tough path. It’s also well understood that getting too far into schedule analysis in the summer months is the ultimate fool’s errand. Unpredictable factors like injuries, one-score game volatility, and early season games feeling like extended preseason with a now-shortened actual preseason ultimately create the week-to-week drama that makes the NFL the draw it is, but that doesn’t mean some things can’t be gathered from looking at the full schedule.
The Cowboys will start their season with back-to-back...

We are nearing June, and that means fantasy football talk is getting ready to take over your feed. Even for the non-participants, you have to admit all the talk about drafting and rankings gets the football juices flowing, and there’s nothing better than that.
For the Dallas Cowboys, it was a pretty electric fantasy scoring season, unless you had the team defense; side note — if you did, fantasy football might not be for you.
Anyway, Dallas’s offense was flat-out explosive last year, and they had multiple guys reap the benefits from a fantasy perspective. America’s Team had a top-6...
Which games should Dallas already have circled?
No. 4: Week 10 vs San Francisco 49ers
This is just about the opponent. The San Francisco 49ers are the Cowboys’ boogie man. Kyle Shanahan has owned Dallas, and until they show up and beat them, this will remain one of the toughest games.
No. 3: Week 5 vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers game at Dallas seems too high, but it isn’t when you look at...

While he wasn’t the Cowboys’ first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Donovan Ezeiruaku may be the most critical of all their second-year players. As Dallas looks to restore its pass rush in 2026, Ezeiruaku’s sophomore season could have make-or-break implications towards that goal.
Years in NFL: 1
Acquired by: 2025 2nd-round pick
When the Cowboys selected Ezeiruaku with the 44th-overall pick last year, he was expected to develop as just a rotation piece. After all, Dallas had Micah Parsons. While contract negotiations were ongoing with the All-Pro pass rusher, it was widely assumed that a deal would...

The Dallas Cowboys will play their first-ever Brazil international game in Week 3, and that game will be against the Baltimore Ravens. For the Cowboys, this will be their first game outside of the continental United States since a 2014 win in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The location of this game aside, the Cowboys and Ravens meeting for the first time since a 2024 Ravens win in Arlington should be a great early-season benchmark for two teams that were on the outside of the playoff picture looking in for 2025. Second year head coach Brian Schottenheimer will be going...

We already posted part one (offense) of this ’way too early’ prediction series. We will now turn to the side of the ball that will have most of our attention this offseason.
In part one, we did the Cowboys offense 53-man roster prediction using 25 total players. Now we will fill the other 28 spots with defense and special teams. Let’s dive in.
Unlike in previous seasons, the edge rushers in Dallas are now technically outside linebackers...
