The Dallas Cowboys family and the football world lost a true pioneer this past Sunday with the passing of Craig Morton. As one of the original cornerstones of the franchise, Morton helped transform the Cowboys from a young expansion team into a perennial powerhouse. He carried himself with a quiet dignity and a toughness that defined the early era of Dallas football, leaving behind a legacy that remains woven into the fabric of the organization.

His journey began in 1965 when the Cowboys selected him as the fifth overall pick in the draft. Coming out of the University of California,...

Well, it is that time of the year again, and this week is when the full NFL schedule is going to be released, but like they always do they leak games before the official drop, and we now know when and who the Cowboys will play on opening weekend.

The NFL announced Monday morning that the Dallas Cowboys will head to New Jersey to take on the New York Giants on Sunday night, Sept. 13 at 7:20 p.m.

The Week 1 game is the Cowboys’ second to be announced for the 2026 season. The Cowboys will face the Ravens in...

Giants will host Cowboys on Sunday night in Week 1 – Josh Alper, Pro Football Talk

The Cowboys ended last season at the Giants, and will begin 2026 there as well in primetime – their second straight Week 1 Sunday Night Football game against a NFC East opponent.

The first Sunday Night Football matchup of the season will see the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to face the Giants on NBC on September 13. It will be the eighth time in 15 seasons that the two NFC East clubs have faced each other in Week 1....

The Dallas Cowboys found out on Monday morning that they’ll take on the New York Giants in their season opener on Sunday Night Football. Now, they know who they’ll play on Thanksgiving at AT&T Stadium. It’s another NFC East opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Dallas has played Philadelphia twice on Thanksgiving in the past, it hasn’t gone in their favor. The Eagles beat the Cowboys 27-0 in 1989 in the infamous “Bounty Bowl” during Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson’s first season as head coach in Dallas. Their last matchup on Turkey Day came in 2014 when the Eagles won 33-14.

Soon enough, May 14th to be specific, the NFL will release the schedule for the 2026 season. Once they do so it will be full steam ahead through the doldrums of the offseason towards training camp.

For now we at least know who the Dallas Cowboys will play and where those games will take place. In fact, we have known this since last season ended per the NFL’s rotational system.

In the time since we have also learned that the Cowboys will “host” the Baltimore Ravens during their Week 3 game in Brazil. That is one thing that we can...

While Jake Ferguson’s status for 2026 isn’t in doubt, how the upcoming season goes for him could raise doubts about 2027 and beyond. The Dallas Cowboys’ starting tight end is the next man up in our roster rundown series.

Background

Years in NFL: 4
Acquired by: 2022 4th-round pick

The Cowboys went into the 2022 NFL Draft knowing they might need a new starting TE soon. While Dalton Schultz was set to return that year on the franchise tag, part of that decision was because Dallas wasn’t ready to make a long-term commitment. When they selected Wisconsin’s Jake Ferguson...

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off their most disappointing healthy Dak Prescott season of his career. A large reason for that was because of the struggles on the defensive side of the ball. While the Cowboys offense was still very good in 2025 (fifth in EPA/play, sixth in success rate, second in yards per game, and seventh in points per game), there are a few areas they could improve in 2026.

Here are three ways the Cowboys offense can be even better in 2026 to hopefully get them back into the playoffs.

A fully healthy George Pickens and CeeDee...

The NFL has one last event to do this offseason before training camps come around. That is to release the 2026 NFL schedule. They will do that on Thursday, May 14th.

We already know who are opponents will be based on the regular rotation formula the NFL has employed for a while. This year the Cowboys will play their NFC East opponents twice, the AFC South once, the NFC West once, and have single games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Baltimore Ravens and the Green Bay Packers. You can see the home and away split below.

Having to play...

The full 2026 NFL schedule is set to be released on Thursday. However, the first opponent for the Dallas Cowboys has been revealed as it was announced early on Monday morning that the Cowboys will travel to take on the New York Giants. The two NFC East rivals will battle it out in prime time on Sunday Night Football.

This will be the 13th instance in which the Cowboys and Giants will start the season against one another. Dallas has dominated their Week 1 matchups as they have won 11 of the previous 12 games. The most recent came in...

This was interesting to me when I was looking over the Cowboys’ depth chart. The Dallas Cowboys defense is clearly better than it was a year ago, but they are about to have the newest sack leader for the third year in a row.

What do I mean by that? Well, if you remember when the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons, they lost the guy who led their team in sacks since the time he was drafted by the team.

Last season, Jadeveon Clowney led the Dallas Cowboys in sacks with 8.5, and now as he remains unsigned, the Cowboys, even...

It’s been an unusually active offseason for the Dallas Cowboys, one that might actually convince some people the front office has seen the light. By most accounts, Jerry and Stephen Jones have aced the offseason, capping it off with a draft class that was praised by many as one of the best of any team this year.

But what were the best moves? It’s hard to pick just one, and paring it down to just three is still pretty hard, but these three have the greatest potential to flip the script from last year.

Low hanging...

George Pickens trade rumors are flying around again, but I’m not taking the bait unless the report comes from a reputable NFL source and neither should you.

I’ve watched this fanbase long enough to know when somebody is trying to get us riled up.

Cowboys WR George Pickens is expected to meet with multiple teams in the coming weeks, despite signing his franchise tag with Dallas for $27.3M.
