Why heading into the Cowboys 2026 Training Camp just feels different

Why heading into the Cowboys 2026 Training Camp just feels different

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...

Cowboys news: Depth at WR could be the difference maker

Cowboys news: Depth at WR could be the difference maker

Can the Dallas Cowboys Win the Super Bowl? Let me tell you why the answer is yes going into training camp – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports

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....

Cowboys fans choose who will lead the team in TD catches for 2026

Cowboys fans choose who will lead the team in TD catches for 2026

In the end it came down to a two-man race. We actually had four options available when we put up a poll wondering who would lead the Dallas Cowboys in touchdown receptions for 2026. But you guys were not fooled. The only two names that really mattered were CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. At least there was somewhat of a battle.

The fourth option, which got 5%, was ‘other’, as in anybody not mentioned in the first tree options. Maybe a few Ryan Flournoy fans out there? We also offered up Jake Ferguson as an option considering he was just...

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...

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: DT Otito Ogbonnia

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: DT Otito Ogbonnia

The Dallas Cowboys’ defensive line makeover started last year with two veteran additions, and it continued this offseason with, among others, Otito Ogbonnia. What does this free agent newcomer bring to the table, and how secure is his roster spot ahead of Dallas’ 2026 training camp?

Background

Years in NFL: 4
Acquired by: Free agency (2026)

The Chargers made Ogbonnia a fifth-round pick in 2022. He entered the NFL with a problematic tweener label, not quick enough to be an attacking DT and lacking the technique to be a consistently effective nose. Los Angeles worked to develop him into...

Special teams loss provides Cowboys with a new opportunity

Special teams loss provides Cowboys with a new opportunity

This weekend, C.J. Goodwin announced his retirement after 10 seasons in the NFL. For the last eight years, he has been a special teams ace for the Cowboys, acting as one of the league’s elite gunners. He possessed the speed and technique to fly down the field and force fair catches, or blow up returns before they could go anywhere. He was also a big part of a couple of trick plays, whether it was faking a hamstring injury on a misdirect or securing the ball on that infamous watermelon kick.

Goodwin’s importance to the team was so valued that...

Most overlooked Cowboys storyline entering training camp

Most overlooked Cowboys storyline entering training camp

There is officially less than a month to go, although that depends what you are most looking forward to. The Dallas Cowboys are set to report to training camp in Oxnard, California on July 28th, but the team’s first practice on the west coast will not take place until a day later. Ultimately, there is a month go in an approximate sense.

When things get going at training camp we will be paying attention to all of the storylines, but certain ones will naturally rise to the top due to their level of importance with respect to the team at...

Cowboys have 2 rookies who could win DYOTY

Cowboys have 2 rookies who could win DYOTY

The Dallas Cowboys have had only one player win Defensive Rookie Of the Year, and that was Micah Parsons back in 2021.

He was a unanimous selection after recording 13.0 sacks and 20 tackles for loss. That seems like more than five years ago, and honestly, who would have thought that he would no longer even be part of this team.

It really is crazy when you think about it. We have been focused so much on the negative impact that it brought, but honestly, I think the Cowboys are better today on that side of the ball than before...

Assessing DaRon Bland and the Cowboys trapdoor contract

Assessing DaRon Bland and the Cowboys trapdoor contract

It feels like it was forever ago that cornerback DaRon Bland was wowing the football world with his historic pick-six performance that altered the record books (five in a season), and put some added excitement into the Dallas Cowboys’ 2023 season. In reality, only two years have passed, but a lot has changed since. Bland has been hurt in each of the last two seasons, and the Cowboys haven’t made the playoffs since. Sad face emoji.

While things have fallen a bit, the team still rewarded their young corner with a four-year, $90 million extension last summer, showing no concern...

Depth on Cowboys offensive line has already taken a hit

Depth on Cowboys offensive line has already taken a hit

Something great about the Dallas Cowboys this season was the depth they have on the offensive line. Regardless of if they are a great unit or not, they have more than a handful of players who have started in the NFL before.

With that said, something that slipped through the cracks that I did not see until this weekend was that they lost Matt Hennessy for the season due to a neck injury that happened in the second week of OTAs.

He was signed to replace Brock Hoffman, who provided a reliable backup at both guard and center before he...
