Free agency season is here. The NFL never sleeps and this week will dominate the world of sports as players move through free agency.

Former Cowboys receiver joining Dolphins
After a fast and furious week of comings and goings for the Dallas Cowboys, we have yet another player heading out of Dallas.

History shows Cowboys have significant blind spot in NFL draft
As Dallas Cowboys fans, the inability of the team to get anywhere in the playoffs for the last three decades hangs like a dark cloud over our collective fandom. And for many of us, this often diminishes or even invalidates some of the positive things the Cowboys do or have done. Dak an MVP candidate? […]
Why Sonny Styles makes more sense for Cowboys in first round
Things have slowed down in free agency for the Dallas Cowboys, and the rest of the NFL. Dallas has made some moves that should be considered upgrades, however, nothing that really moves the needle all that much. Safety Jalen Thompson and EDGE Rashan Gary should help. While we were all hoping Jerry Jones would “bust […]

The 2021 draft class is […]

Cowboys change offensive line depth with new signing

Trading Osa Odighizuwa feels like a mistake for Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys continue to make moves, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Wednesday night brought the news that two defensive tackles – Osa Odighizuwa and Solomon Thomas – had been traded away. The decision to trade Thomas makes sense. He only played on 37.85% of defensive snaps this past season, and his […]
Cowboys land instant impact defensive duo in latest mock draft

Sam Williams returns: Cowboys’ history with “prove it” deals
Edge rusher Sam Williams is about to get a somewhat surprising fifth season in Dallas, re-signing with the team on a one-year deal worth up to $3 million.

Size matters in the middle of Christian Parker’s Cowboys defense
Wednesday was the official start of NFL free agency, but the Cowboys’ biggest news came in the trade market.

Cowboys free agency winners and losers: Jalen Thompson, Rashan Gary the big names
Wednesday was officially the first day of free agency, although the festivities truly kicked off on Monday with the legal tampering period.

The case for the Cowboys trading for Patrick Queen
The first two days of NFL free agency – err, legal tampering period – were unusually eventful for the Cowboys.

It led to Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen being floated as […]

Two’s company, three’s a crowd: Why Osa Odighizuwa doesn’t fit with the Cowboys new plans

How Jalen Thompson perfectly fits the new scheme for the Cowboys safety group
Last season, the secondary of the Dallas Cowboys resembled the Keystone Cops with guys running around any which way.
