How will the 2024 Cowboys draft class perform in Year 2?

How will the 2024 Cowboys draft class perform in Year 2?

Time flies in the NFL, and the players from the 2024 Cowboys draft class are surely feeling that right now. In the blink of an eye, they are heading into year two of their careers, and it is a huge one.

Dallas, and these then-rookies, had last season cut short by an injury to Dak Prescott and overall mediocre play. Now, they are looking for a bounce back.

Additionally, nobody from the 2024 class shined as bright as fans had hoped.

We saw rookie mistakes, raw talent, and injuries from what became a fairly frustrating draft class, and this time...

The Cowboys Cornerstones: Ranking Dallas’ Top 5 Players in 2025

The Cowboys Cornerstones: Ranking Dallas’ Top 5 Players in 2025

For a team with a “top-heavy” roster, you can debate who the Dallas Cowboys cornerstones are all day. It’s a group filled with former All-Pros, high-potential young guys, and players teetering on a career crossroads.

It is also a costly 53-man roster; soon, Dallas will have three players worth over $35M per season.

They have a new head coach running the show in this critical bounce-back season, and key players returning from injuries that plagued their 2024 campaigns. Yet, as anti-climactic as it sounds, the year is likely to be dictated by their top-five players.

If the Cowboys’ best are...

Hall of Fame hopeful headlines Cowboys’ All-Century secondary

As I continue building my All-Quarter Century Dallas Cowboys Team, highlighting the best players from 2000 through the end of the 2024 season, we now reach the final level of the defense: the secondary.

This marks Part V in the series, following previous entries on skill positions, the offensive line, defensive line, and linebackers.

As always, players from the Cowboys’ 1990s dynasty who played sparingly in the early 2000s were not considered. Likewise, current Cowboys remain ineligible.

While some recent contributors like Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland might earn spots in the future, this list is reserved for players whose...

5 random training camp thoughts for the Dallas Cowboys

There are a handful of questions hovering around the Cowboys with training camp around the corner.

We are now officially with inside a month away from when the Dallas Cowboys report to Oxnard, California for training camp.

Today, we thought we'd share some random thoughts we've been pondering now that training is just weeks away. Maybe some of these things have been bouncing...

Some of the Cowboys best LBs this century were undersized

Welcome back to the All-Quarter Century Dallas Cowboys Team series, where I continue honoring the top players from the last 25 years; starting with the 2000 season through the end of 2024.

This series has already spotlighted the skill positions, the offensive line, and most recently, the defensive line.

Today, we turn our attention to the linebackers: a unit that’s been shaped by toughness, intelligence, and, at times, sheer resilience.

As a reminder, Cowboys legends from the 1990s who saw the tail end of their careers in the early 2000s were not considered, even if they had some snaps post-Y2K....

Examining what it would take for the Cowboys to start entertaining life without Dak Prescott

Examining what it would take for the Cowboys to start entertaining life without Dak Prescott

It is amazing how much people still talk about Dak Prescott’s contract.

Dak Prescott is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. There is going to be a lot of words used between now and the end of this article, but no amount of wordsmith sorcery will change the legitimacy of that first statement. Last offseason, owner Jerry Jones sent the sports world into a frenzy, stating the Cowboys were “all-in” with key contracts coming up. While he took things down to the wire, he delivered on his promise, extending both Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb before the season started.

Clint Murchison is Cowboys’ first, best owner

Clint Murchison is Cowboys’ first, best owner

Jerry Jones has owned the Dallas Cowboys for 37 years now, making him the longest-tenured owner in franchise history.

Clint Murchison, who founded the franchise back in 1960, owned the club for its first 24 seasons before his failing health forced him to sell the team.

Bum Bright’s brief owner bridged the gap between Murchison and Jones. Bright’s tenure as owner was ill-fated from the beginning as he simply didn’t have the head for it.

He had also bought a team based on its legacy, but was aging and on the downside of its glory days.

Needless to say, Bright...

Commanders defensive line faces steep climb in 2025 - Darius Hayes, Sports Illustrated

A former Washington strength may now be a weak spot for the Commanders.

The Washington Commanders enter 2025 after an impressive one-season turnaround under head coach Dan Quinn.

However, one position group is under intense criticism. Pro Football Focus ranks the Commanders’ defensive line 31st in the league, highlighting significant issues for a unit that was once the foundation of the team’s identity.

Are there any Giants players who concern you?

After assessing the X-factors for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, we now turn our attention to the New York Giants. Depending on what happens in Week 1, the Cowboys could be looking at improving to 2-0 or looking to avoid a dreaded 0-2 hole. Thankfully, for the Cowboys, they’ll have a ten-day break to prepare for the Giants. Although the Giants have been largely awful since their last Super Bowl victory in 2011, they are an enigmatic group heading into 2024.
