Cowboys will see Myles Garrett with Los Angeles Rams this season

The Dallas Cowboys game in Week 15 just became a tad bit more difficult. On Monday, there was a radical change in the NFL. For starters there was some change with the New York Giants as they brought back Odell Beckham Jr. and signed both Braxton Berrios and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Those were hardly moves that […]

A closer look at WR position heading into Cowboys OTAs

One of the position groups we have talked very little about this offseason has been the wide receiver position. Outside of some early offseason George Pickens contract drama, everyone expects CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy to be the teams top three wide receivers. Behind those three, which is a very solid trio, things […]

12 Cowboys games in 2026 will be against above average passers

What are two things Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Cam Ward, and Trevor Lawrence have in common? Well, one thing is that they are on the Cowboys schedule as the likely opposing quarterbacks on the 2026 season schedule. The other thing is that each one of them had a passer rating below 91.4 last year. That […]

Cowboys news: Joint practices could provide early indication of improvement

Cowboys practice announcement means huge opportunity to gauge gains – Reid Hanson, Cowboys Wire Dallas needs to see how they fare against real competition as soon as possible. It’s why when the Cowboys announced they’re practicing against the New Orleans Saints this year in camp, it was extremely good news for anyone hoping to gain accurate perspective […]

Long-time BTB writer is hanging up his cleats

This is my last article for Blogging The Boys. Almost exactly eight years ago, I published my first piece here: boldly proclaiming that recent draft pick Dalton Schultz would fill the void left by Jason Witten. It took a little while for that prediction to come true – who could’ve seen Witten coming out of […]

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: TE DJ Rogers

It’s hard enough to find meaningful NFL work as an undrafted rookie, but DJ Rogers faces an even tougher challenge this year with the Cowboys. TE Michael Trigg is getting all of the attention now, meaning Rogers has to not only try to beat veteran talent for a job but also outshine his fellow UDFA […]

Cowboys promote two within their analytics department

A week ago, the Cowboys added two new people to their analytics department. Nick Fullerton and Vincent Etherton were both brought in as strategic football fellows, effectively a summer internship position within the Cowboys’ rapidly growing Strategic Football Operations department. Now, in conjunction with Fullerton and Etherton being added, two others have been promoted within […]

The Cowboys aren’t bad enough to be elite again

The San Antonio Spurs are back in the NBA Finals, a statement that would’ve seemed crazy to say a couple of seasons ago when they were camping near the bottom of the standings. But the dynamic of a sports team can change in a hurry, especially when they land a generational player like Victor Wembanyama, […]

Cowboys news: Best battles to track at the upcoming OTAs

Ranking Cowboys’ 4 Most Intriguing Position Battles Entering OTAs – Randy Gurzi, SI.com It’s just OTAs but these battles are already heating up. The Dallas Cowboys will meet for OTAs beginning June 1, which means the long offseason is nearing a conclusion. Not long after their voluntary workouts, the Cowboys will have a short mandatory minicamp, […]

Tony Romo, Jason Witten could be next members of Ring of Honor

The last one was a doozy, to be fair. When the Dallas Cowboys enshrined Jimmy Johnson into the Ring of Honor (something that was more than way overdue) in late 2023, it felt like a lot of fans found their bliss on the subject. Jimmy was finally in. With all due respect, who cares what […]

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: S P.J. Locke

There will be a lot of new faces on the Cowboys defense this year, but only one of them has history with our new defensive coordinator. Safety P.J. Locke’s time working with Christian Parker in Denver helped bring him to the Cowboys, and gives him a huge advantage in Dallas’ upcoming training camp. Background Years […]

Cowboys free agent signee may be going under the radar

The Dallas Cowboys performed a big overhaul of their roster this offseason, mainly on the defensive side of the ball. That totally makes sense considering how the offense and the defense performed in 2025. TL;DR – offense good, defense bad. There were plenty of big acquisitions that happened this offseason that have Cowboys fans excited […]

3 truly shocking cuts the Cowboys might consider

When you examine the Dallas Cowboys roster, it’s hard not to like the moves they have made since the end of last season. They had a sensible shopping spree in free agency, landing a proven talent in Jalen Thompson, and during the draft retooled their defense to improve their pass rush. They retained two of […]

Cowboys news: More moves that Dallas could make this offseason

The Dallas Cowboys have a chance to make a game-changing trade, and the argument against is overblown – Mauricio Rodriguez, AtoZ Sports This would be a welcomed roster upgrade. The Dallas Cowboys still have time to add a proven pass rusher before the 2026 season, and there’s a clearcut candidate waiting for them: Arizona Cardinals […]

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: WR Jordan Hudson

Rookie Jordan Hudson is a longshot to make the Cowboys’ roster this year, but that shot may not be as long as usual for an undrafted free agent. With much uncertainty in Dallas’ wide receiver group, a dark horse has a decent chance of emerging from the pack. And that’s exactly what this former Mustang […]

Looking back, this was when and how Cowboys showed this offseason was different

This offseason has felt different for the Dallas Cowboys. Let the record show that this is said in only a literal sense and not as some declaration to plan a parade. The two offseasons preceding this one were among the most dysfunctional and toxic in recent franchise history. The Cowboys self-sabotaged themselves in a number […]

Cowboys roundtable discussion: RB2, defensive improvement

Every week, we gather to discuss the latest news about the Dallas Cowboys and seek our writer’s perspective on each headline. Welcome back to the roundtable. This week we have Jess Haynie and David Howman. How confident are you in the improvement of the Dallas defensive changes made both with the coaching staff and roster? Mike: Cautiously optimistic […]

The one thing standing in the Cowboys’ way of repeated offensive success

Brian Schottenheimer’s first year at the helm of the Cowboys was a very mixed bag of results. On its face, the season was a failure. A 7-9-1 finish. It also was the backend of the Cowboys’ first time with consecutive losing seasons since the Dave Campo era. Of course, Campo was an early comparison after […]

Cowboys news: OTAs are coming soon for Dallas

These 5 Dallas Cowboys are fighting to keep their jobs at OTAs – Cody Williams, Fansided Are jobs up for grabs next week when OTA’s kick off? The Dallas Cowboys seemingly got the message that they weren’t nearly good enough last season. Jerry Jones has largely avoided doing anything foolish, and the Cowboys have emerged as one […]

Why the Cowboys have solid wide receiver depth

The Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver Parris Campbell on the reserve/retired list, signaling the end of his professional football journey. He leaves the game after seven seasons, most of which occurred with the Indianapolis Colts, highlighted by a career 2022 season where he finished with 63 catches for 623 yards and three touchdowns. After four years in […]

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: LB DeMarvion Overshown

DeMarvion Overshown has become one of the all-time “when he’s healthy” players in modern Cowboys history. His fourth season in Dallas comes with big expectations and the same big risk. Can Overshown finally stay on the field enough to become one of the league’s impact defenders? Background Years in NFL: 3Acquired by: 2023 3rd-round pick There was […]

What the stats say about the Cowboys young offensive line

From 1982 to 2010, the Dallas Cowboys never took an offensive lineman in the first round of the draft, and many draftniks at the time believed this was an iron rule. But then the Cowboys went out and drafted Tyron Smith, and added two more first-round offensive linemen over the next three years. And then […]

5 potential additions Dallas Cowboys could make this offseason: Linebacker help and more – Joseph Hoyt, Dallas Morning News The Cowboys could certainly use a few more additions before the season starts.
