The Dallas Cowboys somehow ended up with Caleb Downs, and even two months later, it still doesn’t feel real. A top collegiate talent at a position of need seems like a match made in heaven for this team. But it goes even further. Not only do they get a dynamic playmaker, but they have secured a cultural insurance policy. That’s important. In a league laced with unfortunate fallouts from players who have made terrible decisions, it is nice to get someone with a good head on their shoulders.

It’s not always so pleasant for teams. Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold[...

*It is Day 72 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...

We’re back with the results of our most recent survey question for Dallas Cowboys fans. Earlier this week we asked you who would be the Cowboys sack leader in 2026.

This was a good topic to explore as the Cowboys don’t really have a “war daddy” anymore after trading away Micah Parsons to start the 2025 season. Last year, Jadeveon Cloweny led the team in sacks with 8.5 despite only playing in 13 games last year. As of this point, Clowney has not been re-signed.

That opened the door for a new leader in 2026, and you guys chose Donovan...

The Cowboys may have a sleeping giant on their roster. 2026 could be the year that giant is awakened and starts making more than a marginal impact. The Dallas Cowboys tight end rotation that features Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford is solid, with Ferguson pulling most of the weight.

In a down year, Ferguson scored eight touchdowns while racking up 6oo receiving yards on 82 catches. Schoonmaker added 132 more receiving yards and Spann-Ford added a touchdown. It is a capable group, with additional success in the run game by throwing blocks and helping to set up Javonte...

Stars on the Dallas Cowboys are expected to perform. To quote the great Uncle Ben, with great power comes great responsibility.

This “great power” is generally conveyed in NFL terms by high draft picks or players on big-time contracts. If the Cowboys are giving up this “power” to players then the players in question are expected to elevate the standing and production of the team as a whole. This concept is a tale as old as time.

These players are essentially tasked with raising the ceiling of the team, but what about the floor? Value here is determined by the...

After witnessing one of the worst defensive performances in team history in 2025, the Dallas Cowboys decided to pretty much clean slate at the season’s end. They hired Christian Parker as defensive coordinator to replace Matt Eberflus, and hired a new defensive staff. Then through trades, free agency, and the draft they attempted to upgrade their roster.

Only time will tell if the moves they made so far pay off in 2026, but already the early returns through organized team activities are being met with optimism. This is a group expected to be much improved from a season ago, however,...

I think a lot of people are sleeping on this Cowboys pass rush. I’m not going to be crazy and say they will lead the league, but the low-40s in sacks feels like selling them short.

If I had to put a number on this group it would be 52 sacks. Yes, that may be a little bit optimistic. OK, that’s a lot of optimism, but I think this number is not only about the guys rushing the quarterback. It’s about all the coaches that have been assembled around them.

Let me explain before you try to put me out...

Dallas Cowboys on Track to Bounce Back in 2026 After Disappointing 2025 Season – Mike Moraitis, SI.com

Which Cowboys need to bounce back in 2026?

Kenny Clark

We don’t want to say Clark was bad last season, but he also hasn’t been the Pro Bowl-caliber player he was in Green Bay, and that has been the case since 2024.

Clark notched 7.5 sacks and 61 pressures in 2023, his last Pro Bowl campaign, but the last two years he has just 77 pressures and four sacks.

We’re optimistic about Clark’s chances of...

The Cowboys secondary has talent, but that talent hasn’t always turned into answers on the field. I don’t remember a game last season where I watched a game and thought to myself, “We will be OK.”

That game never happened. If you watched the same team I did, it was like watching the same game every time. Missed tackles, bad angles, and busted coverage, that is what we watched.

The reimagined secondary that’s been created this offseason has my attention.

DaRon Bland, Caleb Downs, Jalen Thompson, Malik Hooker, Cobie Durant, and Shavon Revel will probably be the first five on...

Offering up predictions for an upcoming NFL season is always fun. You throw out things that you believe are going to happen, and if you are feeling particularly spicy then you toss out some that you feel a bit less confident in but could still see happening if things broke a certain direction.

On Wednesday the worldwide leader in sports did just that by offering several bold predictions for the league at large. These vary in type and some are specific to players as opposed to teams. But the theme of them all was that they were of the bold...

Dallas Cowboys training camp is just under a month away, and players will soon report to Oxnard, Calif., to begin their 2026 camp/preseason. That will be a major step on the long journey toward the season, the playoffs and, hopefully in the Cowboys’ case, the Super Bowl.

Today we’ll analyze a couple of players, one on each side of the ball, that could surprise in training camp.

Offense – Phil Mafah

The running back room beyond Javonte Williams is not settled. The second RB spot is up for grabs, and Phil Mafah could be somebody who breaks through this...
