Marshawn Kneeland is edging closer to starting in 2025

Marshawn Kneeland is edging closer to starting in 2025

Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland may be moving into a big role in his second season.

There’s been plenty of talk this offseason about the Cowboys’ likely reliance on young prospects on the 2025 roster. One such player is second-year DE Marshawn Kneeland, who could be looking at a starting job this year unless Dallas uses its first-round pick on his position.

Of course, the draft could change realities for plenty of guys depending on who the Cowboys draft early. But with Dallas expected to deal with holes at RB, WR, or CB with their first few picks, an immediate new...

Cowboys 2025 7-round mock draft: Seattle makes first-round trade with Dallas

Cowboys 2025 7-round mock draft: Seattle makes first-round trade with Dallas

If the Cowboys are thinking about trades... Seattle is a team that makes some sense.

The 2025 NFL Draft is merely weeks away (April 24-26) and the Dallas Cowboys have surprisingly given us little evidence as to how they plan on approaching things. We know they still have quite a few holes to fill on their roster, but how they go about addressing those needs is anyone's guess as of right now.

Today, with the big event drawing closer by the day, we have a seven-round mock draft for the Cowboys. Instead of standing pat with their current selections in...

Cowboys should head for the desert for their 3rd round pick

Cowboys should head for the desert for their 3rd round pick

Barring this suggested trade, and based on the earlier mocks of the first and second rounds, the Dallas Cowboys will likely pull the trigger on a running back on Friday night.

By then, however, the top players will likely be gone. There is one running back who made a name for himself in his senior season who might be there.

Arizona State’s Cam Skattebo is a versatile power back with a lot of upside.

When the Cowboys go on the clock with the 76th pick overall, assuming they haven’t made a trade to land Ashton Jeanty on Thursday night, Skattebo...

Defensive Ends Who Can Boost the Cowboys Defense

Defensive Ends Who Can Boost the Cowboys Defense

The Dallas Cowboys’ defensive end group leaves something to be desired. That something is a proven player other than Micah Parsons and Dante Fowler.

Besides these two players, the Dallas Cowboys have some unproven talent in the defensive end room.

Young players such as Sam Williams, Marshawn Kneeland, and Tyrus Wheat have not proven much in their careers, but they are young.

The Dallas Cowboys’ front office could help these young players by signing a veteran to help them develop.

Several veteran free agents at the position are still available, and two names come to mind when thinking about the...

An improved Dak Prescott is an absolute must for the Cowboys this upcoming season

An improved Dak Prescott is an absolute must for the Cowboys this upcoming season

The Cowboys have a lot of questions entering the new year, and the performance of their quarterback is one of them.

A year ago this time, the Dallas Cowboys were still licking their wounds after a playoff beatdown by the Green Bay Packers left a nasty aura lingering all through the offseason. Sadly, the Cowboys weren’t able to redeem themselves in any fashion as things went from bad to worse. The team lost games, their quarterback got hurt, and their head coach was fired. It was pretty bad.

But that’s all in the past, right? Mike McCarthy is gone, so...

Former NFL scout reveals his ideal top 3 rounds for the Dallas Cowboys

Former NFL scout reveals his ideal top 3 rounds for the Dallas Cowboys

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Dallas Cowboys are poised to make strategic selections to bolster their roster.

There are several holes to fill at key positions because key players like RG Zack Martin, DE DeMarcus Lawrence, and CB Jourdan Lewis are no longer on the team.

The Cowboys could also use an influx of talent at WR2, running back, defensive tackle, linebacker, and safety.

Bryan Broaddus, a former NFL scout and co-host of The Love of the Star podcast, has outlined his ideal picks for the Cowboys in the first three rounds based on expert projections.

DeMarvion Overshown has ambitious goals for return, but acknowledges PUP is most likely start

It sounds like DeMarvion Overshown will be starting the season on the PUP list.

This has been a big week for DeMarvion Overshown. On Wednesday it was announced that he would become the first player in Dallas Cowboys franchise history to wear the number 0. It had seemed like Overshown wanted the honor for a couple of years now, but it took until now for it to finally and fully happen.

We all understand that this is not breaking news by any stretch, but it is somewhat significant around this time of year where we are watching The Masters and...

Why the Cowboys trading for Jets running back Breece Hall is not a realistic proposal

Why the Cowboys trading for Jets running back Breece Hall is not a realistic proposal

Breece Hall is a name that has been mentioned a bit this offseason.

It seems like a guarantee that the Dallas Cowboys will select a running back in the first three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. After losing last year’s starter, Rico Dowdle, in free agency, Dallas added a pair of running backs this March, but they still need an infusion of talent at the position.

Veteran Miles Sanders and former second-round pick Javonte Williams are the two running backs Dallas added this spring. While both bring some intriguing traits to the table, it’s pretty clear at this point...

Agent 0 is back on the case

Agent 0 is back on the case

In a move that should have happened the instant the NFL lifted its league-wide ban on any team jersey having just a “0” on it, DeMarvion Overshown is back as Agent 0.

When the NFL lifted the restriction, then safety Jayron Kearse was slated to wear the number but instead was issued a “1”, leaving fans to speculate. Would it go to the rookie Overshown instead?

As it turned out, no one got the number. In 2023 or 2024.

Jerry Jones insisted that no one would with the dubious excuse that it was reserved for the mascot, Rowdy, who actually...
