Open up the checkbooks, ladies and gentlemen. It was reported on Friday afternoon that the NFL salary cap for 2026 is projected to be north of $300M for the first time ever. To say this is significant is putting it mildly. As it has often been said for the last few years, the salary cap […]
Why Cowboys will change their ‘bargin bin’ approach to free agency in 2026
For little over a decade now the Dallas Cowboys have been pretty consistent about how they choose to approach free agency year after year.

More than the defense is relying on Christian Parker to succeed
