It’s not often that your franchise wide receiver is one of the least-talked about guys on the roster, but that’s been CeeDee Lamb’s offseason. As his fellow starter and even the backup have been getting a lot of attention, Lamb’s been almost taken for granted as a returning superstar in the Cowboys offense.

It’s a tale most Cowboys fans already know well. In 2020, the Cowboys already had Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup as a solid starting duo of receiver. But when Lamb, generally considered a top-10 talent, fell...

The idea of bold predictions is so interesting. We step out on a limp and try to forecast something that feels impossible on most levels, but few of them leave it slightly within range if we squint our eyes.

Today we are going to be talking about bold predictions that feel bold now, but later on down the road it might feel plain and obvious. These things tend to happen over time. Imagine if, for example, someone had said that rookie Ezekiel Elliott would lead the league in rushing while the Dallas Cowboys took home the top seed in the...

Let’s not pretend Terence Parsons Jr. taking a shot at Rashan Gary is some deep football analysis. It’s just Cowboys’ internet drama, and I think it’s comical.

Terence had to let the world know what he thought about Rashan Gary, pushing back on a post calling Gary “the real deal,” saying Gary can’t stop the run, and going on about how Cowboys’ fans are about to find out about his game.

All of this is getting attention because it’s...

In a recent post on how Cowboys free agent/trade acquisitions augment the roster, we looked at positional rankings to understand where Cowboys players rank against their NFL peers.

We also took deep-dive look at the top 35 players on the roster (as per positional ranking) on the assumption that the top 32-35 players represent the projected starting lineup and immediate rotational depth of an NFL team, and that sufficient quality among your top 35 separates contenders from lottery teams. But looking at that 35-player list in a vacuum left us with more questions than answers, so readers asked to compare...

Dallas Cowboys who need to elevate their game the most this season – Jon Machota, The Athletic

Several players need to take their performance to the next level this season.

1. Tyler Guyton, left tackle

Left tackle is the biggest question mark on the Cowboys’ offense. Dallas used the 29th pick on Guyton in 2024. Over the last two seasons, he has struggled with consistency and staying healthy. He started 11 games in 2024 and 10 last season. He’ll enter this year’s training camp battling Nate Thomas for the starting job. The biggest issue for the...

After listening to the video of Greg Ellis at the Men, Mingle & Mental Health Mixer posted by Law Nation Media, my takeaway was pretty simple: he didn’t sound like a guy selling the normal Cowboys offseason hype. Instead, he spoke like a guy who has been there before.

Ellis was asked about the Cowboys moving to a 3-4 base-type defense, and the thing he said that stuck with me was:

“The verdict is still out.”

We can sit here at the beginning of July and Monday morning quarterback the heck out of this change, but I see why...

*It is Day 74 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...

An almost forgotten member of last year’s 53, Ajani Cornelius looks to get more active in his second season. But with many depth options on the offensive line, he’ll need to have a strong training camp if he wants to find his way back to the Cowboys’ roster in 2026.

After four years of starting at right tackle for Oregon, Cornelius came out last year as the classic “better as a guard” offensive line prospect. At only 6’4″ and lacking the blocking technique to take on professional edge rushers,...

The NFL Pro Bowl may not have the allure that it once did, but to the players, and certainly in contract negotiations, the Pro Bowl still means something. As we tumble towards training camp and the start of the season, let’s look at a few Cowboy players who might break through and earn their first Pro Bowls.

Tyler Booker

“Pro Bowler” isn’t typically what people think of when they talk about offensive linemen, but the second-year guard has not only blown away defenders but also fans and NFL pundits as well.

The 2025 first-rounder is entering his sophomore season...

The Dallas Cowboys have a recent history of poor behavior in the offseason. Each of the last two years has featured offseasons that dealt with contract drama, a lack of interest in free agency, leaving Mike McCarthy in a contract year, saddling Brian Schottenheimer with a defensive coordinator who the front office had a history with… there are few people who would defend all of 2024 and 2025.

This offseason has been different, though. Relative to recent trends, the Cowboys have been moving and operating in an objectively different way. It would appear that different is not always enough, though....

Let’s change it up and talk about something other than players added to the roster for the upcoming season. The addition of Marcus Dixon as the Cowboys defensive line coach may help the position group lined up behind his big boys more than we realize.

I don’t want to paint this as some magic-bean type of move. We’ve been down that road before.

But how many times have we seen a running back pop through the defensive line and blame the linebackers for not making the tackle? Is the blame sometimes warranted, yes.

We know the linebacker core has been...

Joe Flacco started in 44 games in which his defense held the opponent to 10 points or less, the highest value among active quarterbacks. Would you be shocked to find out that Flacco is 44-0 in those games?

As a quarterback, there clearly is a benefit in playing for a team with a strong defense, as other NFL QBs and their W/L records will attest. Lamar Jackson, Flacco’s successor in Baltimore, is 27-0. Patrick Mahomes is 25-0 when the opponent scored 10 points or fewer, Matthew Stafford is 25-0, Sam Darnold is unbeaten at 14-0. In fact, of the 32...
