How the Cowboys upgraded at backup QB with Joe Milton

How the Cowboys upgraded at backup QB with Joe Milton

How the newly-added quarterback is just what the offense needed.

When the Dallas Cowboys lost Cooper Rush to the Baltimore Ravens in free agency, it caught a few by surprise. Since joining the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Rush has spent most of his career with the Cowboys with some memorable moments, like his win against the Minnesota Vikings in primetime on Halloween night in 2021. Rush’s departure left a hole for the Cowboys to fill, and with starting quarterback Dak Prescott finishing the 2024 season on injured reserve, the risk of Prescott getting hurt again lingers....

3 “boring” but sensible picks the Cowboys could make at 12th overall

3 “boring” but sensible picks the Cowboys could make at 12th overall

As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft, they find themselves in a familiar position: stuck between the urge to make a splash and the need to fix glaring roster issues.

Picking 12th overall, Cowboys fans want them to target a flashy wide receiver, an electric edge rusher, or even a quarterback to shake things up.

But what if the Cowboys decide to play it safe like they’ve done so many times before, and take a player that will make the fans throw their hands up in despair?

This might seem like a nightmare, and it probably will...

Cowboys still looking for offensive line help, worked out OL Saahdiq Charles

Cowboys still looking for offensive line help, worked out OL Saahdiq Charles

It makes sense for the Cowboys to address their offensive line during the NFL Draft.

The Cowboys have had a busy offseason here in 2025. After being very active bringing in more outside free agents than the fans are used to seeing and trading for Kenneth Murray, Kaiir Elam, and Joe Milton, the Cowboys may not be done adding to the roster prior to the 2025 NFL draft.

The Dallas Cowboys are still looking for more help, specifically along the offensive line. We know this because they worked out veteran OL Saahdiq Charles.

Charles, a four-year veteran, announced his retirement...

Can this Texas Longhorns star unlock the Cowboys defense?

Can this Texas Longhorns star unlock the Cowboys defense?

The Dallas Cowboys defense has been a top focus of the front office this off-season. From hiring Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator to extending Osa Odighizuwa, the team has tried hard to buff up the D, and one NFL Draft prospect could be the finishing touch.

Even with Odighizuwa’s return, defensive tackle remains a major need for Dallas. Mazi Smith has yet to prove himself as a starter, and recently signed Solomon Thomas is a depth piece.

Former Jets DT Solomon Thomas reached agreement today on a two-year deal with a max value of $8 million with the Dallas...

What Dallas has to gain from a possible rule change

What Dallas has to gain from a possible rule change

Banning the tush push could change a few things.

This past week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter provided updates from the offseason meetings in which the NFL’s competition committee enacted a few rule changes. For example, the NFL ruled in favor to change the overtime format to be played similarly to that of the postseason, where both teams will be given a possession in overtime. One rule was a major point of contention and was tabled for the interim, the Tush Push popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles. Though effective, the play has come under fire for many reasons, leading to a growing...

The latest news from around the division.

Report: New York Giants’ Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll are ‘working as separate entities’ - Dan Benton, USA Today

The head coach and general manager each seem to be doing their own thing.

Following an ugly end to the 2024 season, the New York Giants were expected to fire general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. If not Schoen, then most certainly Daboll.

Instead, Giants co-owner John Mara opted to keep the regime intact while simultaneously expressing his displeasure.

“Now that our season is over, we...

Why ECU cornerback Shavon Revel Jr could be a sleeper first-round pick option for the Cowboys

Why ECU cornerback Shavon Revel Jr could be a sleeper first-round pick option for the Cowboys

Shavon Revel is a name to keep an eye on.

The start of the 2025 NFL Draft is at the end of April. The Dallas Cowboys and all 31 other franchises are hosting players for official in-person visits, and that will giveg a much clearer picture of what prospects teams are seriously interested in.

While the Cowboys have plenty of positions of need on their roster, the popular belief surrounding the team is that their first-round selection at pick 12 will be spent on either a cornerback, defensive end, or wide receiver. Dallas picked a good year to need the...

Report: WR Tetairoa McMillan could be Cowboys target with 12th overall pick

Tetairoa McMillan feels like the name most people think the Cowboys will draft in the first round.

The Dallas Cowboys will have all eyes on them once the 12th pick comes about in the NFL draft later this month. Dallas has plenty of roster holes, and they need instant impact guys that can contribute immediately since they rely so heavily on building their roster through the draft.

There have been a ton of players linked to the Cowboys at various positions, particularly at wide receiver. Matthew Golden out of Texas and Luther Burden out of Missouri have been popular choices....

Cowboys, Schottenheimer having a developmental QB2 in Joe Milton is a big deal

Joe Milton was such a great decision.

Through all the Dallas Cowboys have done to address their roster this offseason, questions remain on both the personnel and coaching side when it comes to how much this team has truly improved and is ready to compete in head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s first year. The Cowboys had been in a bit of a lull in adding new players, seemingly content with the state of their roster ahead of the draft, until Thursday when they swapped yet another day three compensatory pick for a player at a position of need. The Cowboys acquired...
