The Cowboys could use a Justin Durant-level player to emerge in training camp. Maybe it’s Curtis Robinson.
How He Got Here:
A California native, Robinson played five seasons with the Stanford Cardinal from 2016-2020 before going undrafted in 2021. Since then, Robinson has carved out a role on multiple NFL rosters with a lot of work on special teams, with a career 432 special teams snaps.
After the 2026 NFL Draft, the Cowboys signed Robinson, who was the only free...

As the summer heats up and we inch closer to training camp and preseason for the Cowboys, it is that time again where I look around the depth chart and analyze different things.
The Cowboys trade for Quinnen Williams in the middle of last year was a major one, and they beefed up the defensive line by adding all those other bodies around him, which many did not think would look like that after Micah Parsons got traded.
My own thoughts are that the line on that side of the ball is better today than it was a year ago,...
*It is Day 75 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...

Josh Butler has been waiting a long time to resume his football career. After missing all of 2025 on injured reserve, the cornerback is looking to show a whole new coaching staff that he belongs in the NFL and can help Dallas’ secondary improve this season.
Years in NFL: 3
Acquired by: UDFA (2023)
It’s hard to believe that Butler turns 30 this November, but that’s part of his unorthodox NFL journey. After going undrafted in 2020, the former Michigan State Spartan didn’t catch on with any teams as a free agent. Butler didn’t give up on playing...

After 12 seasons in the NFL and his last eight with the Dallas Cowboys, C.J. Goodwin has decided to hang up his cleats and announced his retirement. Goodwin, 36, was the Cowboys second longest-tenured player behind Dak Prescott.
Since joining the team in 2018 he’s played a total of 108 games, logging 2211 snaps on special teams. He’s been one of Dallas’ most impactful special teams players for nearly a decade and his retirement now leaves a hole that needs to be filled.
Who’s going to step up and fill Goodwin’s role as Dallas’ special teams ace? Do they even...

When Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, it changed the lives of many. An iconic franchise was restored in the form of a 90s dynasty when several coaches and players embarked on a path that took them all the way to the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Decades later, those great moments feel like distant memories as Jerry and his son Stephen are at the forefront of all things football in Dallas. However, there is one family member who doesn’t get talked about very much.
Charlotte Jones, the daughter of Jerry, is a co-owner and the Chief...

Once upon a time Brian Martin and I worked on an article about how many roster spots were truly “available” at an upcoming Dallas Cowboys training camp. A rough guess is that this was around 2016 or 2017. We go way back.
The thought behind the exercise was that while there are 90-man rosters and a final 53-man roster, the reality of NFL roster composition is that most of the spots on the team are secured. Only something like 10-15 on average are truly unknown and “up for grabs” in the way we conventionally think of that term.
In a...

Just last week, we asked who would lead the Dallas Cowboys in touchdown receptions for 2026. CeeDee Lamb took the win over George Pickens. Now we’re moving to the other side of the ball.
This week we taking guesses on who will lead the Cowboys in sacks. Ever since Micah Parsons was traded, the sack king crown is an open debate on the Dallas defense. We’re looking at five players who we think could lead the team in 2026.
He’s the veteran with experience and skins on the wall (46.5 career sacks, average of 7.5 per year)....

We are indeed back in the downtime of the offseason until the end of this month, when we will go without football until February and with that comes some of these types of blog posts.
Let me be clear, I am not saying these two players are going to set records or anything like that, but one guy on both offense and defense in the skill positions could have a chance to take a leap this season.
One of them has had a decent career with Dallas thus far, but I think he can finally get over the 1k yards...
As a football fan over the years, you’ve grown more or less accustomed to a cornucopia of non-traditional metrics like DVOA, QBR, ANY/A, aDOT, CPOE, EPA and many others that have added to our understanding (some would say: confusion) about football. Today, we take a deep dive into one specific metric that we haven’t often looked at, but that provides some interesting insights into the Cowboys receiving corps.
Yards Per Route Run (YPRR) is an advanced football metric that measures a pass catcher’s efficiency by dividing their total receiving yards by the number of passing routes they ran, essentially giving...

Let me be clear before anyone jumps right to the comments and says something about the title of this post.
I am not here to say that Dallas is going to win it all or even make the playoffs, because we have a long summer to go, but before we get into the rest of this post, the point of this title is it feels different in a good way that, for the first time in how many years, this front office has not caused any drama.
We are getting reports of nothing but good, no drama. Jerry is staying...
When is the last time the Cowboys truly had three wide receivers that opposing defenses all had to worry about, plus a strong run game?
Cowboys WR room is deeper than you think
By now, you know all about CeeDee Lamb and Pickens. The duo terrorized defenses throughout 2025, and there’s little reason to believe that slows down in 2026. But the conversation should extend beyond those two....
