Projecting 4 more breakout candidates for 2026
Eternally, it seems that the Dallas Cowboys have high expectations year in and year out. While Cowboys fans fight the stigma that next year is always “our year”, the Cowboys do field a pretty good team and have for the last few years, so the expectations to compete are fairly warranted. The offense is loaded […]
The five “Jenga pieces” for the 2026 Cowboys
If anyone has ever played the game of Jenga before, they know that it’s a game about skill, patience, and making sure you don’t pull the wrong piece because the whole tower could come crashing down. Some blocks are more important than others in keeping things together. When it comes to the 2026 Cowboys, there […]
Brian Schottenheimer says Cowboys had a first-round trade in place for Caleb Downs
Even three months later, it’s still surreal that the Dallas Cowboys found a way to get Caleb Downs on their team. From the post-draft press conference, the front office made it sound like Downs was their guy all along. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer recently talked about how the team made sure they had a draft […]
Dak Prescott vs. quality opponents: What the numbers tell us
One of the most persistent hot takes about Dak Prescott is that he pads his stats against weak teams and underperforms against quality teams, because he can’t win the big games. If you look deeper at the root of this particular meme, you’ll quickly find that it’s more than just sloppy thinking and lazy research […]

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: P Bryan Anger
Bryan Anger, like fellow specialists Brandon Aubrey and Trent Sieg, currently has no one to challenge him for his job as the Cowboys’ punter.

Dallas Cowboys 2026 opponent preview: New York Giants
Year one under head coach Brian Schottenheimer for the Dallas Cowboys ended at MetLife Stadium in a meaningless Week 18 game where both the Cowboys and hosting New York Giants were out of the playoffs already.

Honoring the Founding Fathers of the Dallas Cowboys
If you ever find yourself staring at a painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and thinking that those guys look like they could draw up a mean flea flicker, you are not alone. History and football have a funny way of connecting. The men who wore powdered wigs and the men who […]

Securing a high-character goldmine preserves Cowboys draft investment
The Dallas Cowboys somehow ended up with Caleb Downs, and even two months later, it still doesn’t feel real. A top collegiate talent at a position of need seems like a match made in heaven for this team. But it goes even further. Not only do they get a dynamic playmaker, but they have secured […]

Cowboys fans pick their sack leader for 2026
We’re back with the results of our most recent survey question for Dallas Cowboys fans. Earlier this week we asked you who would be the Cowboys sack leader in 2026.

Why Brevyn Spann-Ford could have a breakout year
The Cowboys may have a sleeping giant on their roster. 2026 could be the year that giant is awakened and starts making more than a marginal impact. The Dallas Cowboys tight end rotation that features Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford is solid, with Ferguson pulling most of the weight. In a down year, […]
This Cowboys player has the potential to change the season the most
Stars on the Dallas Cowboys are expected to perform. To quote the great Uncle Ben, with great power comes great responsibility. This “great power” is generally conveyed in NFL terms by high draft picks or players on big-time contracts. If the Cowboys are giving up this “power” to players then the players in question are […]
3 ways the Cowboys defense has already improved under Christian Parker
After witnessing one of the worst defensive performances in team history in 2025, the Dallas Cowboys decided to pretty much clean slate at the season’s end.

ESPN boldly predicts Dak Prescott to join exclusive NFL club
Offering up predictions for an upcoming NFL season is always fun. You throw out things that you believe are going to happen, and if you are feeling particularly spicy then you toss out some that you feel a bit less confident in but could still see happening if things broke a certain direction. On Wednesday […]
1 Cowboys player on offense, defense who could surprise in training camp
Dallas Cowboys training camp is just under a month away, and players will soon report to Oxnard, Calif., to begin their 2026 camp/preseason.

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: WR CeeDee Lamb
It’s not often that your franchise wide receiver is one of the least-talked about guys on the roster, but that’s been CeeDee Lamb’s offseason.

Cowboys predictions that feel bold now, but won’t be later
The idea of bold predictions is so interesting. We step out on a limp and try to forecast something that feels impossible on most levels, but few of them leave it slightly within range if we squint our eyes. Today we are going to be talking about bold predictions that feel bold now, but later […]
