Cornell Green never played football in college. He was a basketball player at Utah State when the Cowboys signed him as an undrafted free agent in 1962. Green went on to play 13 seasons in Dallas, earn Pro Bowl honors, and win a Super Bowl. He later spent nearly three decades scouting for the Denver […]

The Cowboys confirmed the death of their longtime defender.
Jerry Jones publicly backs former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman as rumors swirl about Aikman's ESPN contract. Front Office Sports reported tension between Aikman and co‑host Kirk Buck, noting Buck just secured a six‑year extension while ESPN has not committed to Aikman beyond this season. Jones praised Aikman's talent and future potential during an NFL owners meeting in New York, saying he closely follows the former star’s career. The article also mentions Aikman's uncertain consultant role with the Miami Dolphins and notes that Jones’ support won’t affect CBS’s decision on Tony Romo.
After Green Bay’s 23‑13 victory over Dallas, special‑teams coordinator Cam Achord praised practice‑squad receiver Coleman Owen for a solid 16‑yard punt return, saying the team wants him back in that role. Owen, signed to the Packers’ practice squad on Sept. 30 and elevated this weekend after Skyy Moore’s high‑ankle sprain, impressed with his catch mechanics and ability to handle low line‑drive kicks. With the Packers (4‑2) set to face a strong Detroit special‑teams unit Sunday, Achord expects to decide the returner after Friday’s practice. Owen’s size and speed give Green Bay optimism for more reps.
Time is running out for the Dallas Cowboys to get serious this season, and this trade would be do or die.
Commanders In the Commanders’ 23-17 loss to the 49ers, QB Jayden Daniels threw the ball away on 4th-and-2 after San Francisco was penalized. Washington HC Dan Quinn said he wanted Daniels to take a shot instead of throwing it out of bounds. “Even when you know there’s a penalty, you still take your shot, man, […]

The Packers added QB Jordan Love to the injury report with a sore back, but he says it won’t keep him out of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. Love is listed as an estimated limited participant after a walkthrough on Wednesday. Receiver Bo Melton (back) is the only non‑participant, while several others—including Aaron Banks (knee/toe), Anthony Campbell (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle)—are limited. The Lions have only cornerback Rock Ya‑Sin (hamstring) listed as limited. Both teams are gearing up for the Week 7 matchup.
Troy Aikman has spent more time in broadcasting than he did playing for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. He retired after the 2000 season with three Super Bowl rings, knowing when to walk away. His tenure at ESPN, however, may not follow the same path. Aikman has previously said he wants to work alongside […]

The Dallas Cowboys sit 2-4 in week six of the 2026 NFL season but still have a real shot at the playoffs thanks to a struggling NFC East, where all four teams have yet to secure a win. Owner Jerry Jones may pursue a major trade before the Nov. 10 deadline while retaining head coach Brian Schottenheimer, despite recent blunders. Dallas also holds two first‑round picks in the 2027 draft (potentially 6th and 27th overall), making a late‑season surge crucial to avoid dropping lower. With division rivals floundering, the Cowboys remain a plausible contender, giving fans a reason to keep rooting for a turnaround.
Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon explains his “I always delete” rule — he never adds new elements to the game plan late in the week to keep players’ mental load manageable. After a 39-22 loss to the Vikings and a strong 23-13 win over Dallas, Gannon stresses a "motor and violence" play style, focusing on schematic execution and explosive ball plays. He also highlights discipline, noting 11 penalties (96 yards) against Dallas, and draws on lessons from mentors Mike Zimmer and Emmitt Thomas to keep the defense unpredictable.
Brian Schottenheimer and the Dallas Cowboys have lost another game, further worsening their poor season. They lost 23-13 to the Green Bay Packers, their fourth loss this season. With only two wins so far, the franchise is not performing well at all. The Cowboys have had offensive problems, with quarterback Dak Prescott suffering a lot. […]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offered more insight into the decision to bring aboard Mike Pettine to serve as a senior assistant to defensive coordinator Christian Parker while speaking to reporters on Wednesday.
Jerry Jones has made several moves to overhaul the Dallas Cowboys‘ defense, acquiring talent through trades both during the offseason and throughout the season so far. However, those efforts have yet to translate into results, with the defense still struggling and Dallas sitting at 2-4 after back-to-back losses. That raises the question of whether the […]

The Dallas Cowboys defense turns the tide after a rough first half against the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 21, 2026. While the unit yields 23 points overall—17 in the opening half—it tightens up post‑halftime, allowing just six points on five drives and limiting Packers yardage to 83. Caleb Downs leads with 12 tackles, and Kenny Clark, Quinnen Williams and Elijah Garcia each record a sack. Dee Winters’ pick‑six is overturned, but the defense posts its best EPA/play allowed rating of the season (‑0.02) and forces a negative EPA per play for the first time. Despite a C‑grade grade, the second‑half surge gives Cowboys fans hope.
At 2-4 after a loss to the Packers, the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly eyeing a trade for Pro Bowl pass‑rusher Josh Sweat as they seek to fix a 25th‑ranked defense. Sources say an anonymous NFL exec urged the move, noting Sweat’s recent 12‑sack performance and his fit with Dallas’ edge‑rush needs. With the trade deadline approaching on Nov. 10, the Cowboys could add the former Cardinals star to bolster a unit that ranks near the bottom in sacks, while their offense sits near the top of the scoring charts.

Jerry Jones firmly rejects any notion that the Dallas Cowboys will become sellers at the Nov. 10 trade deadline, saying a deal would only be considered if it immediately improves the team. After a 23-13 loss to Green Bay dropped the Cowboys to 2-4 in the NFC East, Jones emphasized openness to moves that help now and in the future, echoing similar comments from his brother Stephen Jones about supporting coach Brian Schottenheimer. Past deadline trades include acquisitions of Joey Porter Jr., Quinnen Williams, and Rashan Gary, while future picks remain intact. The Cowboys face the Eagles on Oct. 26, host Arizona on Nov. 1, and travel to Indianapolis on Nov. 8 before the deadline.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones left little room for doubt about his plans as the NFL trade deadline approaches. “I’ll be real clear, I could see being active at the trade deadline if it was something that could help the team this year,” Jones said on Wednesday. When asked if he could envision the Cowboys […]

After a 23-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys fall to 2-4 and look dangerously close to a 2027 top‑draft outlook. Despite averaging 27.6 points per game earlier in the season, the offense managed just 29 points in its last two outings, while 11 penalties for 108 yards hurt discipline. The defense showed flashes—limiting Green Bay to 57 rushing yards and recording three sacks—but faltered on third‑down stops, allowing 11 of 18 conversions. Coach Brian Schottenmittel’s play‑calling and a run‑pass imbalance (48 rushing yards on 15 carries vs. 54 pass attempts) raise concerns about execution as the Cowboys fight to stay playoff‑relevant.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Dallas Cowboys may target Arizona Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat ahead of their Sunday matchup in Arizona. With a 2-4 record and limited 2027 draft capital after recent trades, Dallas could use the former Syracuse standout to boost a struggling pass rush, though the move might be deemed shortsighted amid a weak NFC East and low trade assets. Sweat, also linked to Green Bay, fits Dallas' profile, but the Cowboys' lack of high draft picks raises questions about the feasibility of the deal.

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich says the team won’t shuffle the O‑line without a clear reason, even though veteran guard Kevin Zeitler, signed on Sept. 30, is nearing game shape. Zeitler dressed for the 23‑13 win over Dallas and could see snaps, while left guard Aaron Banks, who’s been a “roller coaster” with injuries, showed promise after a solid practice week. The Packers (4‑2) aim to field the best five linemen as they prepare for Sunday’s matchup against the Detroit Lions, whose defensive front features D.J. Wonnum and Aidan Hutchinson. Stenavich will meet with medical staff to assess health before finalizing any changes.
Dallas Cowboys GM Jerry Jones is poised to add a premier pass rusher before the Nov. 10 deadline, according to NFL insider Jason La Canfora. The top target is Arizona Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat, who posted 2 sacks in six games and signed a four‑year, $76.4 M deal in 2025. A secondary option is Las Vegas Raiders Pro Bowler Maxx Crosby, who remained with the Raiders after a trade to Baltimore fell through. Dallas, currently 2‑4 with just eight sacks, needs a long‑term defensive upgrade, and La Canfora says the Cowboys have strong relationships with both Arizona and Las Vegas to make a move.
