A safety draft prospect for the Cowboys receiving little attention

The Dallas Cowboys’ secondary was not a happy place in 2025. After watching the defense struggle immensely last year, the front office finally opened its checkbook a little bit by signing free agents Jalen Thompson and P.J. Locke. They join a room that still features the veteran presence of Malik Hooker and Markquese Bell. While […]

Cowboys fans predict how many wins the team will get

We still have one major event to go in the roster acquisition phase of the offseason. The draft can alter the future for a franchise, so nothing is locked in yet. There could also be a major trade that happens. But much of who an NFL team will be in 2026 is already in place. […]

Why pick 20 feels like it could be traded

Meeting with the media at the NFL Owner’s Meetings, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team has the capital to move up or move down when it comes to the draft.

Cowboys should target this high speed edge rusher

Cowboys roster review by position: Running backs

One of the biggest enigmas entering the 2025 season was what the Cowboys had in their running back room. For several years prior, all of their starting solutions at running back had come in-house.
