The 3 decisions the Cowboys absolutely got right this offseason

The 3 decisions the Cowboys absolutely got right this offseason

We are all experts. Put us in the decision-making rooms of The Star in Frisco and we could turn the Dallas Cowboys right around.

It often feels this way in our minds, right? Like we have all the answers? Obviously this is said in jest, but we all have thoughts and opinions on how the Cowboys operate and it goes without saying that we will air them out if we need to.

You’d be hard pressed to find three total decisions between the 2024 and 2025 seasons combined that a majority of fans approved of, but the tide really turned...

How heavy formations have reinforced Cowboys new offensive assault

How heavy formations have reinforced Cowboys new offensive assault

The Dallas Cowboys got better at running the ball last season. The combination of play-caller Brian Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams stepped in and immediately righted a wrong from their previous offensive leader, Mike McCarthy. It is a bit ironic when you think about it, considering McCarthy famously complained about his previous play-caller not running enough, only to learn that he, himself, was not very good at it.

Some might remember that Kellen Moore was viewed as too pass-heavy and cared more about scoring points than he did about sustaining a balanced offensive attack. It was strange because, well,...

Cowboys are top heavy at WR, who rounds out the group?

Cowboys are top heavy at WR, who rounds out the group?

As I make my rounds looking at the Dallas Cowboys depth chart, we should now understand that they probably have the best wide receiver duo in all of football outside the Bengals.

Still, with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and Jonathan Mingo, but are we sure that Mingo would beat out the others on the roster to make the final 53? I am not so sure about that.

The first question is are they going to keep five or six wide receivers? My first thought is that they will probably keep only five, but you could make the case...

Cowboys news: George Pickens to officially play on franchise tag after deadline passes

Cowboys’ George Pickens to play on $27.3M tag as deadline passes – ESPN

George Pickens will officially play on the franchise tag in 2026.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens will officially play the 2026 season on his $27.3 million franchise tender after Wednesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline for tagged players to agree to long-term contracts passed.

This was an expected conclusion after the Cowboys announced before the NFL draft in April that they did not plan to hold talks on a long-term contract with Pickens. The last time the Cowboys signed a player tagged for the...

The Hunter Luepke hype train is coming off the rails

The Hunter Luepke hype train is coming off the rails

For the last handful of years, we have been begging the Dallas Cowboys offense to figure out how to use Hunter Luepke more and more, and yet every single year, we get the same results.

Since the Cowboys signed him as a free agent in 2023, it seems like we talk about him every offseason about how he should be more involved and what they should try to do with him and the list goes on and on.

Over the last two seasons, in 2024 and 2025, he has had a total of 28 rushing attempts for a total of...

DeMarvion Overshown named honorable mention among top off-ball linebackers

It is a heavy time for rankings throughout the NFL. This is the case thanks to the worldwide leader. ESPN has been slow-playing their release of rankings of various position groups, an exercise they have been doing for a couple of years now (basically the new-look version of the old-school NFL Top 100).

For context it should be understood that ESPN assembles these rankings based on their sourcing of executives, coaches, and scouts throughout the league, so the thought is that these rankings are built by people who know the current game the best.

Most notably the Cowboys have seen...

ESPN says Dallas Cowboys have 2 of best 7 receivers in NFL

ESPN says Dallas Cowboys have 2 of best 7 receivers in NFL

The Dallas Cowboys’ biggest advantage on their roster at the moment is tied to who they have at wide receiver. CeeDee Lamb has been one of the better wideouts in the NFL for a few years now, and this past season George Pickens announced himself as more than just a sidekick.

Together Lamb and Pickens comprise arguably the best wide receiver group in the entire league. According to ESPN’s rankings of wide receivers – these are based on their sourcing of league executives, coaches, and scouts – they literally do have the best wide receiver group in the entire league....

Cowboys flashback: Reliving a forgotten thriller from 2007

There is no shortage of excitement for the Dallas Cowboys, even when things don’t go according to plan. We have been subjected to 30 years of disappointment, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been moments when a little dose of hope has crept in. Despite the letdowns, there have been some really fun moments during this long drought, and sometimes it is just nice to look back and remember how it made us feel. Today, we want to travel back nearly 20 years and relive one of the most electric nights for the team during this span.

Tony Romo regrets never winning a Super Bowl with Cowboys

The content of this article is going to make you feel things. Apologies for that.

Recently Tony Romo was a guest on an episode of Pardon My Take, a rare podcast appearance of this variety for the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback. As you can imagine Romo touched on a number of topics throughout the interview, many centered around his broadcasting career, but his time under center for America’s Team was also on the menu.

At one point Romo was asked about how he chose retirement (and working for CBS) over joining another NFL team. To be clear, for anyone unaware...

Why NFL win projections before preseason are largely worthless

Why NFL win projections before preseason are largely worthless

The Dallas Cowboys will open training camp in about two weeks. Their first preseason game is in about four weeks, and the season opener is just eight weeks away. Among other things, that means win-total projections for 2026 are going to be coming in hot and fast. And some of them are already in:

  • In late May, NFL.com’s Ali Bhanpuri predicted the No. 2 seed and an 11-6 record for the Cowboys, while his colleague Tom Blair had the team missing the playoffs with a 9-8 record.
  • In June, the DraftKings Sportsbook released its win projections and [shows...
