We know there will be a new backup QB in Dallas next season, but who?

After spending most of the last eight seasons as the Cowboys’ backup quarterback, Cooper Rush is now a Baltimore Raven. Dallas hasn’t really addressed his departure yet with an offseason move, but there are still some veteran free agents who could find their way into the competition.

Dallas did retain Will Grier from last year’s practice squad. He’s the lead candidate to be Dak Prescott’s backup right now, but only because there isn’t another QB under contract. In addition to Rush’s defection, Trey Lance remains...

Since 1989, the Dallas Cowboys have only used a top-100 pick on a wide receiver or running back just 18 times.

Their philosophy has generally prioritized linemen, linebackers, and defensive backs in the early rounds, widely ignoring the skill positions: running back and wide receiver (I purposely left out tight end).

A mixed bag of Hall of Famers, solid contributors, and outright busts are in those 18 players, but why have the Cowboys ignored those positions with early draft picks all this time?

You would think that it got better under Will McClay, but it’s actually gotten worse.

Since McClay...

We have a general open thread going on this fantastic Friday so in that spirit... who is your baseball team?

Happy Friday!

You may have noticed that we started doing some discussion threads here on the blog every weekday and every Monday through Thursday there will be a prompt that is either related to the Dallas Cowboys specifically or to the league at large.

But Fridays are a bit more fun in nature and in that spirit we will venture off onto some tangents from time to time. This Friday happens to fall one day after Opening Day in Major...

Since Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, the team has built a franchise rich in history, but when it comes to drafting wide receivers in the first round, the Cowboys have been remarkably selective.

In fact, only three wide receivers have been selected in the first round during Jones’ tenure as owner.

This limited history has led to some debate about whether the Cowboys should prioritize a wide receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft next month, especially as they look to build a team capable of competing for championships in the highly competitive NFC.

First, let’s take a...

Not even for Travis Hunter

In just about a month, the Cowboys will draft their next player with the 12th overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. That is, if they don’t trade out of that slot before now. Draft trades have become extremely common in the NFL, especially for Dallas, and the prospect of trading up recently became a hypothetical discussion point.

Of course, Travis Hunter is the two-way phenom from Colorado who won this year’s Heisman after playing both wide receiver and cornerback on a full-time basis over the course of his entire college career. He finished this...

Considering how many holes the Cowboys are trying to fill this spring, tight end might be the one position that they should ignore.

Dallas has a solid top three tight ends on their depth chart coming into next month’s draft. Bringing in another tight end might be overkill.

In other words, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Problem is, how many times have we seen the Cowboys step into the spring with a “Ready, Fire, Aim” approach this century?

Assuming they have adding another tight end low on the checklist, let’s examine who the top free agent tight ends...

The latest headlines surrounding the Dallas Cowboys all in one place.

Tony Romo’s thoughts on the 2007 and 2014 Dallas Cowboys seasons are exactly what all of ours are.

When it comes to certain things in life, you just had to be there. One of those things is the 2014 Dallas Cowboys season. For those who did not experience it in the moment, there was something distinctly different about it from other years with team success. It was a breakthrough for quarterback Tony Romo, head coach Jason Garrett (obviously many others as well) and is one of the more cherished seasons throughout the era of The Drought™.

It goes without saying...

Late-round draft steals the Cowboys should have their eye on.

Barring a trade, of the Dallas Cowboys’ 10 total draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, six of them are on Day 3 in rounds four through seven. With three picks in the fifth round and two in both the sixth and seventh round, it's going to be important for the Cowboys to find impact players in the latter part of the draft.

The Cowboys are fortunately known as a team who have been able to find some hidden gems in the late rounds in the past, as well as...

Hopefully the best is yet to come for Trevon Diggs

Dallas Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs underwent knee surgery on January 23, 2025. This marked the second time in just over a year that Diggs would end his season early due to injury. Initial reports indicated Diggs’ injury “was not related to the torn anterior cruciate ligament Diggs suffered in practice” in 2023.

Yet again, Diggs would face an uphill battle and a lengthy rehabilitation process to return to his former All-Pro level of play. That’s when Dr. Sharif Tabbah of Alkeme Sports RX in Florida reached out to Diggs,...

It wouldn’t be the offseason without some drama from the National Football Leauge, better known as the no-fun leauge!
