Look, we are right in the area of waiting for the training camp to get here to give us some more interesting things to talk about.
Let me be the first to say I like it this way because that means Jerry Jones has given us no drama to worry about, and this is a great thing. This team has been strictly football this offseason and it feels like a first for everything.
With that said, I have been keeping my eyes on some things that I think are important and one that it probably not getting enough attention because...
Dee Winters has flown under the radar a bit since being acquired by the Cowboys. As an experienced linebacker with a fairly clear path to a starting role, you’d think there’d be more fanfare. But hopefully, the real noise around Winters will come from his performance in 2026.
Years in NFL: 3
Acquired by: Trade (2026)
A sixth-round pick by the 49ers in 2023, the former TCU Horned Frog made their 53 as a down-roster linebacker who played most of his snaps on special teams. Winters got more playing time in his second season, starting 10 games thanks...

If you want to understand true existential dread, just look at the history of the Dallas Cowboys over the last three decades. We are constantly reminded that this team hasn’t experienced any meaningful success since the mid-’90s, and honestly, that is a brutal pill to swallow.
This franchise has a long history, but depending on how long you have been around for the ride, that history means completely different things to people of different ages. If we were to make the assumption that people start truly remembering their football experience around the age of 10, what has it actually been...

*It is Day 68 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...

Do the Dallas Cowboys have one of the 10 best running backs in the NFL? If you go by rushing yards (you shouldn’t) last season then they do. Javonte Williams finished ninth in the league in that respect, and his play was so impressive that the team rewarded him with a new deal this offseason. In fact, that was one of the first signs of proactivity that we saw from the Cowboys at large since they last played a game.
As stellar as Williams was in 2025 it seems fair to say that he is probably on the outside looking...

The Dallas Cowboys are changing things up on defense. Significantly. The changes come in many forms, from an entirely new coaching staff to a large haul of new players brought in to carry out the plans of the new administration. With a new blueprint comes new soldiers, and the team has quite a few. Only four defenders will retain their starting spots – Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Donovan Ezeiruaku, and Malik Hooker, and of those four, only one of them (Hooker) had logged a snap for the Cowboys at this time last year. The makeover is real.
From more changes...

The 2015 season was an utter disaster for the Dallas Cowboys. After his Week 1 heroics, Tony Romo went down the following week against the Philadelphia Eagles with a broken collarbone for the second time in his career. Then came the fun carousel of Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel, and Kellen Moore. Things went so well in 2014; how could they go so wrong just a year later? Many were left wondering what the Cowboys’ future would look like.
Ezekiel Elliott brought the juice and rejuvenated the running game in Dallas in a way that wasn’t...

I wanted to hate ESPN’s ranking for the Cowboys. Where the Cowboys roster got ranked sounds low based on the players on this roster.
This isn’t some busted group hoping to squeak out eight wins, but a team coming off a monumental let-down last season. Not because of the personnel, but because of the terrible play calling and coaching on the defensive side of the ball.
Once I got past the number given to the Cowboys, the write-up was harder to argue with than I wanted to admit. ESPN, for what it’s worth, didn’t just toss out a lazy take...
About ten years ago, Jerry Jones explained that roster turnover every year is about 30%.
”We have about a 30 percent turnover every year. What is the core? Who is the core? That’s a part of what we’ll be doing.“
As the NFL slows down to a crawl between final OTAs and the start of camp, there’s not going to be much roster activity over the next few weeks. Which makes this a good time to look at how much raw playing time from last season each NFC East team will have to replace in 2026, and how close...

Now before we get into this, maybe these guys wouldn’t be a huge surprise to some, but as it sits, I think they are more on the safe side than not, but that is why I am asking the question.
I am going to get into three guys that, for me, and remember these are my thoughts, are probably a bad training camp away from getting the plug pulled on them as a member of the Dallas Cowboys.
This may be way off, but let’s take a look.
I truly don’t think anyone would be surprised about...
Year two of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens together is going to be a whole lot of fun.
Patrik: ‘Tis a great question, it is. In looking around the league, in both conferences I’m hard-pressed to find a more potent duo at WR than CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. This isn’t a biased take, but rather the science of the situation. Lamb and Pickens are not WR1 and WR2. They are two true WR1s that are also led by an All-Pro quarterback who, if not for a...
