There has been a lot of talk about year two of Dallas Cowboys cornerback Shavon Revel this offseason. After a banged up and disappointing rookie campaign, there has been optimism surrounding Revel heading into 2026.
It is still to be determined who will start on the outside opposite of DaRon Bland (assuming he’s healthy) when the Cowboys kick things off against the New York Giants in week one, but with a whole new defensive staff on board, many people’s money, as of today, is on Cobie Durant.
Durant has started 39 games in the NFL, and participated in more than...

It is difficult to be underrated as a member of the Dallas Cowboys given how much attention the team receives. It does happen from time to time. Today we are looking at something in that overall realm.
So many players disappoint us as Cowboys fans because of the aforementioned hype, but this means that so rarely are there players who actually exceed expectations. It is important then to understand the proper context. Someone like CeeDee Lamb is unlikely to exceed expectations because they are so high.
Here are three players who have the chance to clear that proverbial bar.

Roster turnover is only natural in the NFL from year to year. Whether it’s free agency, the NFL draft, or through trades, newcomers are going to be added to each team’s roster around the league. That’s just the nature of the game ever since the salary cap was implemented.
Today, we’re going to look at each team the Dallas Cowboys will play the season and identify the most intriguing newcomer they will face. Some of them are well-seasoned veterans, while others are fresh to the league. Most of these new additions could impact the game one way or another.

ESPN has been running a preseason written series where NFL executives, coaches, and scouts rank each position group; this year, they decided it was time to give Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott his flowers.
The highly anticipated quarterback rankings showed Prescott with his highest ranking yet, landing behind only reigning MVP Matthew Stafford when it came to NFC QBs.
In full, Prescott is clearly inside the top-ten, and is ahead of quite a few superstars. Let’s dig into the list, so you can see if you agree with the NFL world’s ranking of the Cowboys star; I am willing to bet...
The Cowboys zone defense was a disaster last season, but being too dependent on man in 2026 could be a tough transition as well.
Do the Cowboys have the horses at CB?
It’s only fair to admit the Eagles’ cornerback room is significantly better than the Cowboys’. Just last year, Mitchell and DeJean both earned All-Pro honors. Going into 2026, Dallas is betting on a lot of players surrounded by question marks....

This is an interesting topic that I have been seen floating around the internet over the last day or so.
I have seen a few articles about offensive guards, and different rankings and who is where, etc.
A couple had the Cowboys’ duo of Tyler Smith and Tyler Booker claiming the top spot, where others did not even have a mention of them on the list, and that was after Smith was ranked the top interior lineman in football by the ESPN rankings that dropped last week.
Still, to be the best duo, you need your sidekick to be able...
The Dallas Cowboys might actually have a good season this year. That’s not a crazy thought. How good they will be is anyone’s guess, but would it be absolutely insane to have Super Bowl aspirations? Consider this: the Seattle Seahawks ranked 20th in championship odds last year. We know how that story unfolded. The Cowboys currently sit with the 15th-best odds for the 2026 season. Is a title run unlikely? Yes. Is it impossible? Not at all.
Since winning it all is the ultimate goal, let’s splash around in this hypothetical. Let’s assume the stars aligned, February arrived, and we...

I recently ran across an interview with Chris Hall, Cowboys College Scouting Coordinator (and the guy with the long hair in the war room), in which he explains the expected timeline for rookies in the NFL, which apparently hasn’t changed much since the days of Tom Landry.
“All the way back to coach Landry, it was ‘by year three, you’ve got to know exactly what you’ve got in a guy.’
Year one, they’re a rookie, a lot of times their head is spinning.
Year two, they’ve kinda got a handle on how the thing works....

*It is Day 62 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and...

The Cowboys have never been shy about acquiring players coming off major injuries, and one of their latest attempts is CB Shavon Revel Jr. With a 2024 ACL injury now further in the rearview, Revel goes into his second season with high expectations as a key member of Dallas’ secondary.
Years in NFL: 1
Acquired by: 2025 3rd-round pick
Revel was an ascending prospect at East Carolina, but saw his 2025 draft stock wrecked by the knee injury. In just three games, Revel already had two interceptions and was considered a potential first-round talent with his coverage skills,...

Once upon a time people from all across the internet would pick up their sword and debate the status/ranking/merits of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. This was equally true for his predecessor, Tony Romo. Wearing the Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Crown is not for the faint of heart.
Prescott is going on his eleventh season in the role which means there are a decade of arguments in the past. But whether it be the passage of time, or an acceptance of his place within NFL quarterback hierarchy, those fiery debates don’t seem as intense as they once were.

Since the league moved to a 14-team playoff format in 2021, seven new teams made the playoffs twice (2021 and 2022), six new teams made the playoffs twice (2023 and 2025), and four teams once (2024). Under the old 12-team playoff format installed in 1990, an average of about six new teams made the playoffs every year.
This long history of churn among NFL playoff teams means it’s highly probable that about half teams that made the playoffs in 2025 will miss the playoffs in 2026.
Last season, four NFC playoff teams changed versus 2024. The Packers, Rams and Eagles...
