Dallas Cowboys, all the time...since 2005.
The good news is that Caleb Downs has changed his jersey number. Many people have been anxious to read that sentence since learning that the player they can’t believe made it to the Cowboys was originally set to wear 18 and not the number that he wore in college. Downs wore 2 at Ohio State […]
Through free agency, a few trades, and the 2026 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys have made some significant additions that should help upgrade their roster from a season ago, especially on the defensive side of the ball. While that’s true, that doesn’t mean there aren’t more moves they could still make at certain positions. LB […]
The Dallas Cowboys have not only brought in some fresh faces to improve their pass rushing rotation, but also some familiar ones.

The Dallas Cowboys have significantly improved their team this offseason. Consider what they had to improve upon, though.

A week or so after the 2026 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys should feel really good about what they did in Pittsburgh.

Fourth-round offensive tackle Drew Shelton is a player […]

In 2025, the Dallas Cowboys’ defense was a “what you see is what you get” unit, and what opponents saw was wide open spaces.

Each NFL team is allowed a maximum of 90 players under contract on its offseason roster.
