The Dallas Cowboys are set to open their season on the road against the New York Giants. It is basically our annual tradition at this point.

This year will mark the ninth time in 20 that the Cowboys and Giants will face off against each other in a season-opener, but interestingly it will also mark the fourth consecutive year in which the Cowboys will begin a season, regardless of opponent, on the road.

Interestingly, this streak started with a road game against the Giants. Dallas visited MetLife Stadium to begin 2023, also on Sunday Night Football, and then went to...

I know Cowboys fans don’t want to hear this right out of the gate, but the Philadelphia Eagles are the odds-on favorite to win the NFC East, again.

Now, before anyone gets sideways, that does not mean the Cowboys are dead in the water. The latest NFC East odds show Dallas is still very much in the race, and oddsmakers clearly see the Cowboys as the biggest threat to the Eagles.

This is where things stand right now.

The Cowboys are sitting at +220 to win the NFC East. That doesn’t...

The Dallas Cowboys have spent the last few seasons shuffling around resources as they try their hardest to build a balanced football team. Managing funds is never easy, but the front office has been remarkably aggressive in shifting resources to find the right combination of talent to get them in the win column on Sundays. By navigating a series of big trades, saying some very difficult goodbyes, and wading into the free agent pool a little deeper, they have completely remodeled the roster. The goal was always a more balanced football team, but the journey to get there has been...

Don’t you just love the offseason after the NFL draft and before all the players are obligated to report and the fun starts?

I know for us, we have to really dive into some things to right about, and as I was looking over the depth chart, I saw a few position battles I will be keeping a close eye on this summer.

One of these you may have not even thought about, but it seems clear that it might spark up some drama.

Joe Milton vs. Sam Howell

The backup quarterback position behind Dak Prescott is not as...

Cowboys 53-man roster projection: Joe Milton or Sam Howell? Who is fifth WR? – Jon Machota, The Athletic

If the Dallas Cowboys move on from Marist Liufau, it might just come down to a numbers game.

Outside linebacker (6)

This is one of the tougher position groups to project because of the move to make Marist Liufau an outside linebacker. His value might not be viewed the same with the new coaching staff. If the move works for him, he would be a good piece to keep. He’s been a major contributor on special teams. The...

The Dallas Cowboys’ running backs offer a lot of intrigue this summer. We know who the starter will be, but the backup spots all feel up for grabs. One contender for a job is second-year back Phil Mafah. Our rundown series continues with the physical RB and his chances of making this year’s roster.

Background

Years in NFL: 1
Acquired by: 2025 7th-round pick

It was no secret that the Cowboys needed RB help from their 2025 draft class. The primary back in 2024 was Rico Dowdle, who’d turned his breakout year into a free agent deal from the...

If Caleb Downs has a chip on his shoulder heading into his rookie season for the nine teams that passed on him in the draft, he gets his first opportunity as early as Week 1. The NFL announced on Monday that the Dallas Cowboys will travel to face the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.

The Cowboys are set to play four of the nine teams that selected players instead of Downs, but the Giants are the only team to pass on Downs twice at pick No. 5 and No. 10. New York had holes up and down their...

Everyone is well aware of the star power the Dallas Cowboys have at the top of their wide receiver position group with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, but did you know the team has a pretty good WR3 option? And no, we’re not talking about All-Pro return specialist, KaVontae Turpin. This receiver has quietly inserted himself into the offensive picture with sheer grit and a willingness to do whatever it takes to help the team. We’re talking about Ryan Flournoy.

His journey to Dallas started in the sixth round of the 2024 draft, where the Cowboys snagged him out of...

Sunday afternoons in North Texas in 2026 still begin the same way they did a decade ago. Coffee, depth charts pulled up on a tablet, group chats lighting up with playoff math even when it is May, and that quiet ritual of spreading out the week’s notes across a kitchen table while the pregame show talks over itself in the background. What has changed is what fans bring to that table.

The Dallas Cowboys closed last season as one of the most-watched franchises on the planet, with annual revenue topping $1.2 billion according to Forbes estimates, and the audience that...

It’s been a busy offseason for the Dallas Cowboys, both in terms of free agency activity and (by most accounts) nailing the 2026 NFL Draft. But Super Bowl teams aren’t built in one offseason, and the Cowboys understand that they’ll need at least a couple players to take a big step this year to truly complete the roster.

These three second-year players all stand a chance of doing exactly that.

Donovan Ezeiruaku

This might be the most obvious pick, but Donovan Ezeiruaku is easily the best bet to make a second-year jump. Ezeiruaku had 16.5 sacks his senior year...

The Dallas Cowboys are set to visit the New York Giants in Week 1 of this season. In similar news, water is wet.

If you have been paying attention for the last 5, 10, 30, or 5,000 minutes or so, you know that the Cowboys and Giants square off to begin NFL seasons more often than not. This isn’t literally true, but it certainly feels that way based on the last 20 years.

Consider that 2026 will mark the ninth time in 20 years that Dallas and New York will do battle to begin a season. The previous eight affairs...

I understand why some folks are doom-and-gloom when it comes to the 2026 Dallas Cowboys schedule. Their record may not be that bad.

There are new faces, a new defensive identity, and a schedule that isn’t exactly a stroll in the park. But the more I look at this roster, the more I think people may be underselling what Dallas has built.

The Cowboys kept George Pickens in place with the franchise tag. Quinnen Williams is anchoring the defensive line after last season’s trade.

They brought in veteran help, drafted Caleb Downs, Jaishawn Barham, Malachi Lawrence, Devin Moore, and LT...
