BTB Monday Discussion: How much does the schedule release matter to you?

The NFL schedule comes out this week!

The NFL schedule will be released this week (on Wednesday to be clear) and at long last everything from the offseason will be complete. We will finally know which players (effectively) will be going where and when they will be doing so. At that point all we have to do is wait out the summer.

For what it’s worth we found out bright and early Monday morning that the Cowboys will open the season on the road against the Eagles, so we have one officially down.

When it comes to the schedule release...

Cowboys open as 6.5-point underdogs for Week 1 game at Eagles

The Cowboys are big underdogs for their Week 1 game at Philadelphia.

The Dallas Cowboys will officially kick the season off on Thursday, September 4th against the Philadelphia Eagles, and when they do they will be going up against the reigning Super Bowl Champions. Such a spot is not unfamiliar territory for the Cowboys as a handful of them went down to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers in the same setting to start the 2021 season. You will recall that Dallas fell short that night.

A decade and a half ago, though, a very different Cowboys team successfully spoiled...

Cowboys to play in season opening slot for third time in modern history

Cowboys to play in season opening slot for third time in modern history

This year will mark the third that the Cowboys play in the NFL’s opening kickoff game.

It was announced on Monday morning that the Dallas Cowboys will be visiting the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL’s season-opening game on Thursday, September 4th. Watching the Eagles raise a Super Bowl banner, another one at that, will not be fun.

Obviously our collective hope is that the Cowboys ruin the party and start the season off 1-0. Spoiling the night would be quite fun. And for what it’s worth, thankfully the Cowboys don’t have to visit Philadelphia later in the year.

Signing this veteran is a smart insurance play

Signing this veteran is a smart insurance play

Last month, just before the NFL Draft, cornerback Stephon Gilmore set the rumor mill flying at high speed with an unscheduled visit to The Star.

The 13-year veteran played for the Cowboys in 2023. He played a vital role in the team’s 12-5 record and the NFC East division title.

He also played a big part in setting an NFL record that year.

The Rise Of DaRon Bland

In 2023, Gilmore was supposed to be paired up with Trevon Diggs in the defensive backfield.

Diggs had 17 interceptions in his first three seasons. Gilmore came into the season with...

The Cowboys will officially open the road in Week 1 at Philadelphia.

The NFL is set to release the full 2025 schedule on Wednesday. However, a huge matchup for Week 1 was leaked on Monday. After speculation about the Dallas Cowboys playing the New York Giants or Chicago Bears to kick things off, they will hit the road in the league's first game of the year to face the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on September 4.

This will be the first time the Cowboys and Eagles have met to start a season since 2000 when the latter won...

The shameful era of the entitled athlete is here

The shameful era of the entitled athlete is here

The rise of the entitled athlete was bound to come to a shameful head sooner or later. With the NIL here to stay in college sports, killing off the notion of the student-athlete for good, it was only a matter of time.

Especially in college football, where players are raking in millions of dollars, and jumping from one school to another in the transfer portal, as if cruising through a mall.

We have fully entered the era of the “entitled athlete” who demands the sun rise and set, not on their actual achievements, but on their own expectations.

Cowboys news: Second-year offensive lineman projected for big jump in 2025

Notable headlines surrounding America’s team.

Second-year Cowboys player drawing serious buzz ahead of massive season - Marcus Mosher, The Landry Hat

Cooper Beebe is being tabbed for bigger things.

In a recent article by Jonathon Macri of Pro Football Focus, he named one player for all 32 teams who could have a breakout season this year. For the Cowboys, that player was none other than Cooper Beebe, especially after the addition of Booker. Here is why Macri believes Beebe could be significantly better in Year 2 for Dallas:

Cowboys’ defense ranked as the 10th-best defensive unit in the NFL for the 2025 season

The Cowboys did a good job of upgrading on the defensive side of the ball this offseason.

While they may not have stolen headlines with flashy moves, the Dallas Cowboys made clear upgrades on both sides of the ball this offseason. Dallas saw the lack of depth that killed them in the 2024 campaign and made it a priority to ensure that does not happen again this upcoming season.

The Cowboys didn’t completely ignore their offense, but they made significantly more moves to upgrade their depth on the defensive side of the ball. In free agency, Dallas signed linebacker Jack...

Don’t count the Cowboys out of the NFC East race in 2025

Each offseason, the Dallas Cowboys draw more headlines than most NFL franchises, both good and bad, but in 2025, the narrative surrounding America’s Team feels particularly grim.

National media pundits are ringing alarm bells, fans were frustrated by a quiet offseason up until the trade for George Pickens happened, and the lingering disappointment of last year’s losing season hangs heavily in the air at The Star.

Yet beneath the gloom and skepticism lies a truth that’s easy to overlook: the Dallas Cowboys remain one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, and they have every reason to believe they...

Donovan Wilson could be looking at final season with the Cowboys

Will Donovan Wilson be in Dallas after the 2025 season?

Donovan Wilson’s tenure with the Dallas Cowboys is poised to conclude after the 2025 NFL season, and due to financial and strategic factors this could be his final year playing with the star on his helmet.

In 2023, Wilson inked a three-year contract extension worth $21 million, that contract is set to conclude at the end of the 2025 season. The deal included a $6.5 million base salary for 2025, but nearly all his guaranteed funds have already been disbursed, allowing the team to release him with only $3 million...

Is Tyler Guyton the weakest link on the Cowboys offensive line?

Is Tyler Guyton the weakest link on the Cowboys offensive line?

If there’s one thing we know about the Brian Schottenheimer era, it’s his commitment to building in the trenches; after all, his first draft class is being headlined by an offensive lineman. Ironically, that very selection could make Tyler Guyton the weak link of the group.

The 29th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Guyton, a former Oklahoma Sooner, experienced both highs and lows in his rookie season, though the lows were unfortunately more common.

Pressures allowed (per PFF) the last 2 weeks:

Tyler Guyton: 6
Tyler Smith: 5
Cooper Beebe: 4
