For teams, summer is a time to shake off the rust and build momentum; for fans, it’s all about the hype. That’s been true for the Dallas Cowboys offense, but in this case, the numbers back up the excitement.

Yes, it’s a unit filled with big names and new toys, but the potential of the offense is very real. They are poised for a legitimate explosion this season.

How can I be so confident? It’s simple: the numbers do not lie.

Dallas’s front office, for all its flaws, has created an offensive depth chart that is filled with proven production...

A few Cowboys players really helped themselves with how they performed during minicamp.

After a three-day stint, the Dallas Cowboys’ mandatory minicamp has now concluded. They can now look to the next phase of the offseason - training camp. With every passing stage of the offseason, the mold of this team starts to take shape, and with some strong performances a few players appear to have carved out a role for themselves. Here are the players who gained the most from minicamp.

Kaiir Elam

Earlier this offseason, Kaiir Elam was traded to the Cowboys. A former first-round pick of...

The Dallas Cowboys may have unearthed a valuable piece in second-year tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford, and 2025 is shaping up to be his breakout campaign.

After spending his rookie season adjusting to the speed and complexity of the NFL, Spann-Ford appears ready to take the next step and become a consistent factor in the Cowboys’ offensive game plan.

Spann-Ford came to Dallas as an undrafted free agent in 2024 following a solid career at the University of Minnesota.

Despite going undrafted, he was one of the most sought-after undrafted free agents on the market, largely due to his rare combination...

It is time for 53-man roster predictions.

Mandatory minicamp happened this week for the Dallas Cowboys, but these practices are kind of like the appetizer before the main course when everybody reports for training camp toward the end of July. That's when things get serious and tough decisions will have to be made to meet the league-mandated 53-man roster for the upcoming 2025 NFL season.

As things stand right now, the Cowboys currently have 91 players on their roster thanks to the International Player Pathway exemption. If you're doing the math at home, that means they would have to at...

In April’s draft, the Dallas Cowboys needed to cook up a wide receiver and a running back for their roster. They decided to dodge both positions over the first three rounds.

Instead of a possible combination of Tre Harris and Cam Skattebo, the Cowboys took yet another edge player and a defensive back coming off a severe leg injury.

Dallas did make up for one of those positions by acquiring receiver George Pickens from the Steelers.

But they are still left with a weak running back room of two underperforming veterans and two late round rookies. Hunter Luepke will play...

The latest news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys.

Cowboys' Dak Prescott wants a Super Bowl title, legacy 'be damned' - Todd Archer, ESPN

The Cowboys signal-caller is focused on getting the organization its sixth Super Bowl.

Dak Prescott is entering his 10th season as the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

Only Troy Aikman has had a longer run at the position in franchise history. Aikman and Roger Staubach are also the only two quarterbacks that have won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys.

Prescott, who turns 32 next month, is determined to join them but not to...

Here is the latest news from around the NFC East.

Giants call three edge rushers for two spots on the defense a good problem to have - Michael David Smith, NBC Sports

The Giants are preparing to get after quarterbacks.

The Giants already liked the edge-rushing talent they had on their defense with Brian Burns on one side and Kayvon Thibodeaux on the other, before they drafted Abdul Carter with the third overall pick. But there’s no such thing as too many pass rushers on a defense.

Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen says Burns, Thibodeaux and...

Predicting which offensive linemen the Cowboys will carry is a bit difficult.

While the starting five for the Cowboys’ 2025 offensive line is pretty predictable, the depth spots are anything but. There should be heated battles for those four or five reserve spots, creating a pretty big roster bubble at guard, center, and tackle as Dallas works toward its final 53-man roster.

As long as nobody’s injured or takes an unexpected nosedive in performance, it’s easy to project the first-team line. Tyler Smith and Cooper Beebe are locked in as returning starters. Could Smith end up at left tackle? Maybe,...

Minicamp seemed to be helpful for certain members of the Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys completed their mandatory minicamp. Despite players in search of new contracts in pivotal years, everyone managed to be there for the start of the next phase of the offseason. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer has energized the roster, and it appears to be shaping his vision for the team’s culture. Whether it’s merely the presence of a new head coach or something otherwise, the optimism around the team feels better than it has in previous years.

Newcomer George Pickens has been as good as advertised and...

The Dallas Cowboys have wrapped up this year’s session of OTAs (Organized Team Activities), and have given fans plenty to be excited about.

Starved for Cowboys football, fans watched and listened for any positive news coming out of OTAs, and there was news aplenty.

The usual names showed out in workouts.

Guys like QB Dak Prescott, TE Brevyn Spann-Ford, and the new duo of wide receivers, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, turned heads and drew cheers with highlight-reel catches.

The defense got into the mix as well. EDGE Micah Parsons showed up despite being in an apparent stalemate in contract...
