Earlier this season, rumors circulated about the Dallas Cowboys’ interest in acquiring the Raiders’ star Maxx Crosby. The 2019 fourth-round pick is now a two-time All-Pro who would cost a ton to acquire in a trade.

Thus, despite Dallas being stocked with four first-round picks over the next two seasons at the time, the rumors fizzled out, and the Cowboys instead acquired Quinnen Williams.

With the Raiders now sitting at 2-13, fans across the league have again started speculating about Crosby’s future in Las Vegas. An incident this week has caused those sparks to turn into full-blown fireworks.

The losing streak is over! Maybe that doesn’t make you feel all that jolly, as it doesn’t aid their chances to make the postseason and hurts their draft stock, but watching the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 30-23 will always bring fans plenty of joy. The Cowboys have some extra rest before wrapping up the 2025 season against the New York Giants, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer is hoping to end the year on a positive note. The Cowboys’ win over a struggling Commanders team wasn’t a Christmas miracle by any means, and there were both good things and...

I’m looking at 2026 cap space and franchise tag like someone holding a calculator in one hand and hope in the other.

The projected NFL salary cap for 2026 is $295,500,000. The Cowboys currently sit at $34,906,087over the cap, with $330,406,087 in cap commitments already on the books.

This means flexibility is not something Dallas will have, it’s something they will need to create.

The franchise tag becomes a timing mechanism. A tool that prevents emerging talent from touching the open-market while Dallas works backwards through extensions, restructures, and cuts.

But since Dallas can only use the franchise tag once,...

There is only one game left in the 2025 season for the Dallas Cowboys, and they are only playing for draft position and pride.

Their 34-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings all but left them for dead, but the Cowboys finished themselves off by losing the following week at home to the Los Angeles Chargers.

No use crying over spilt milk. The Cowboys won’t be in the 2025 NFL Playoffs, and it’s time to set our sights to the 2026 season.

One aspect of looking ahead is determining which players on expiring contracts the Cowboys should try to re-sign before...

Dak Prescott has ‘big’ reason he wants to play in Cowboys’ season finale vs. Giants: ‘It’s a huge difference’ – Austin Nivison, CBS Sports

Dak Prescott continues to campaign to play in Week 18.

The difference between 7-9-1 and 8-8-1 may seem insignificant to those outside the Dallas Cowboys‘ facility, but it means something to quarterback Dak Prescott. Although the team’s season finale at the New York Giants next weekend won’t have any playoff implications, Prescott is determined to play and win.

Prescott led the Cowboys to a 30-23 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday, but...

It stands to reason that the Dallas Cowboys are going to make a change at defensive coordinator sometime soon. For the most part, the Cowboys defense has been objectively awful across the entire season. The team as a whole had the three-game winning streak where everything was sort of working together, but the defense has let the group down time after time after time after time.

Consider that Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Javonte Williams have each had amazing years on offense, and that the offense as a whole has been among the very best in the NFL....

The Dallas Cowboys may not have helped themselves in draft position, but their victory over the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day brought joy to fans’ hearts.

In a season that saw the Cowboys eliminated from playoff contention before Santa took the sleigh out of the garage, there hasn’t been much to cheer for.

Don’t get me wrong. There have been some good things.

The offense has been stellar after the additions of WR George Pickens and RB Javonte Williams.

Not to mention the ascension of WR Ryan Flournoy into a legitimate WR3 with WR2 written all over him.

The offensive...

If you’re focused on the strength of the Cowboys’ 2026 draft picks at this point, it was not a merry Christmas. How did Thursday’s games hurt Dallas in the projected draft order, and how could the rest of the Week 17 schedule help?

The Cowboys’ victory over Washington, taking them to 7-8-1, arguably cost them a couple of draft spots. We still need to see what happens with 7-8 teams like Baltimore and Tampa Bay this week, but Dallas’ win puts it on the verge of a .500 finish with only the Giants left on the schedule. Already 15th in...

When I look back on this season, the problem I keep circling isn’t talent, it’s a tackling issue.

I watched Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, and Osa Odighizuwa control the interior, but play after play the second and third levels couldn’t tackle.

The middle of the defensive line won more reps than the scoreboard ever reflected, yet the players behind them missed the hole or the tackle to many times.

If 2025 is about anything for me, it’s this: the Cowboys don’t need new stars inside, they need a defense around the stars they already have that hit with leverage, violent...

Entering the game, Dak Prescott discussed his intention to play the last two games of the season, as he said, to not “cheat” the game. Once the opening whistle sounded, the game turned from a one-sided affair to a classic, tight NFC East finish, regardless of who was in the lineup for either team. The Cowboys raced out to a 21-3 lead before the Commanders made it interesting late. The physicality was evident. Javonte Williams once bowled Mike Sainristil flat on his back, and Deebo Samuel popped Donovan Wilson’s helmet off. It was a bruising game that was worth a...

With the Dallas Cowboys out of the playoffs, we still have a lot of good football to watch this weekend that could help or hurt a few teams in terms of their playoff chances.

I have my eye on three games that I think will be the best of the weekend, no matter the Cowboys’ situation, I am going to be locked into some of these games this weekend, and I think you should be too.

Houston Texans Vs. Los Angeles Chargers (-2)

Man, this game is between two of the hottest teams in football right now. Both of...

The Dallas Cowboys did one thing really well on Christmas, and it won them a ballgame. They ran the ball through the middle of the Washington Commanders defense. They trucked the middle of Washington’s defense to the tune of 211 yards.

Much of that number came from an unexpected source – Malik Davis. The running back who just keeps hanging around had a great game, running for 103 yards on 20 carries. The reason he had so many carries was injury robbed Javonte Williams of a big night. He finished with 54 yards on 13 carries. but his violent style...
