The Dallas Cowboys want to get in the George Pickens business for the long haul. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport says Dallas has their sights set on retaining its star wide receiver after the 2025 season.

Dallas wants to retain Pickens for 2026 and beyond, sources say. How that happens, however, could take on a few forms.

Pickens is in the final year of his rookie contract and is scheduled to be a free agent at the end of the year. When Dallas traded for the former Pittsburgh Steeler in the offseason, they were hoping for a player who would...

The Dallas Cowboys (4-5-1) return home this week as they welcome their division rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) to AT&T Stadium. If the Cowboys want to keep their playoff hopes alive, they absolutely must walk out of Sunday’s matchup with a win.

Before the two rivals square off, here are three bold predictions for the matchup.

1) Eagles’ run defense continues to dominate, holding Javonte Williams under 40 rushing yards for only the second time this season

Over the course of the first six weeks of the season, the Eagles were really struggling to stop the run. In those six...

Some Saturday news popped up yesterday afternoon: the Dallas Cowboys made a move that I at least thought would happen this offseason, not after only 10 games with the team.

Cowboys cornerback, Kaiir Elam was released by Dallas in a surprising move yesterday.

Dallas made the trade for the former first round pick in the offseason with the Bills. Some folks thought he would play a major part on the defense, while others, like myself, from the jump thought it was a waste of a trade, just like it was when Jerry Jones made the move for Payton Turner.

Draft...

The Dallas Cowboys are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in a Week 12 game. These two teams played the first game of the season, a 24-20 Eagles victory. That loss set the tone for a very frustrating season for the Cowboys so far.

In Week 11, the Cowboys regained some momentum by throttling the inept Las Vegas Raiders. The Cowboys defense looks to be a different unit now that Quinnen Williams is patrolling the middle. He also got help from several other returning players from injury.

The test this week is to beat a team with a quality record, and is...

Cowboys waive 1st-round CB after trading for him in March; sign RB – Todd Brock, Cowboys Wire

Dallas cut ties with Kaiir Elam who was acquired via trade.

Back in March, with All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs early in the process of an offseason knee rehab stint, the Cowboys traded for former first-round draft pick Kaiir Elam as an insurance policy of sorts. Now, as several of the team’s younger reinforcements start to take on an increased role, Elam has been rendered expendable. The fourth-year veteran was waived by Dallas on Saturday.

The Cowboys signed running back...

It seems somewhat fitting that today’s opponent for the Dallas Cowboys is the Philadelphia Eagles.

Including the playoffs, it will be the 134th meeting between the teams since 1960. It seems like every single one of them has been a hate fest at that.

For Dallas, it is almost a must-win situation.

A loss drops them to 4-6-1, 4.5 games behind the Eagles with six games left.

It also puts additional pressure on the Cowboys, who will play three games in 12 days beginning with today’s contest. Dallas faces defending champion Kansas City on Thursday.

Seven days later, they face...

Well hello there. I’m Dave Mangels from Bleeding Green Nation. No, I didn’t get lost. As many already know, this week across SB Nation we are having writers cross enemy lines. RJ Ochoa, who is secretly, or maybe not so secretly an Eagles fan, came over to BGN, and Brandon Gowton popped over here.

Then on Thursday David Halprin came over to our turf and wrote about 4 things the Eagles should do to beat the Cowboys. Turnabout is fair play, so we sent our Dave–hey wait, that’s me–to highlight 4 things the Cowboys should do to beat the Eagles....

The Dallas Cowboys lost a close one in the 2025 season opener to the Philadelphia Eagles back in Week 1, but this isn’t the same team as it was back then. The Cowboys have improved on both sides of the ball, especially the defense here recently with all of the new additions. That could prove to be the difference maker this week, but only if they don’t allow certain matchups to get the better of them.

Today, we have a few matchups we believe the Dallas Cowboys could possibly take advantage of to help sway the game in their favor....

It has been a long time since we saw the Dallas Cowboys play the Philadelphia Eagles in the opening night game, one in which the CeeDee Lamb drops make us wonder how this season would have played out if he caught those balls. Either way, that is all in the past. This game on Sunday will be a lot more interesting than people think.

The Cowboys are coming off a win against the Las Vegas Raiders, but everyone beats up on them, so we expected that, but now we will see which Dallas team shows up this weekend.

The defensive...

The Dallas Cowboys got exactly what they needed on Monday night when they beat the Las Vegas Raiders 33-16. Not only did they get the win, but they got it in convincing fashion. They were also able to acclimate some new arrivals into the team. Via trade, Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson joined the team and helped elevate the defense, especially Williams. He looks like the real deal.

Also joining the roster were DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel who are back from serious knee injuries. Brian Schottenheimer has them on a pitch count, but just getting reps for them was...

In this episode of Between the Lines we flip the attention to the defensive line, where chaos meets strategy. This is where the Cowboys’ games are won and lost so let’s dive in.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is trying to avoid something that happened in his predecessor’s first season of 2020. At the start of the Mike McCarthy era, it took until Weeks 14 at the Bengals and the next week versus the 49ers to win consecutive games for the first time in that 6-10 season that fell short of the playoffs. Schotty’s Cowboys are coming off an emotional Monday night win at the Raiders, earning yet another chance to win back-to-back games going into an all-important Week 12 rematch with the Eagles.

Schottenheimer’s head coaching debut was against the Eagles...
