After months of speculation, the Dallas Cowboys officially brought back former All-Pro Running Back, Ezekiel Elliott on Monday. Signing Elliott had been floated by Jerry Jones for almost a year. But, it was the Cowboys' approach to the position this offseason that turned rumors into reality. Dallas was initially expected to pursue a running back early in free agency. Of course, this did not happen, as the Cowboys got “out-bid” (which we've definitely never heard before). Then, all seven rounds of the NFL Draft came and went with no RB selection either. The Cowboys did not draft a running bac ..read more

As we sit here on May 3rd, Stephon Gilmore is still currently a free agent. Let's just get it out of the way now, Ezekiel Elliott's change in number from 21 to 15 reportedly has nothing to do with a return of Gilmore, at least for now. Hold off on buying a No. 21 jersey for Ezekiel Elliott. Told he will be moving to No. 15, which he wore in New England and Ohio State. Trey Lance will move to No. 19. Not sure it means much at the moment for the return of Stephon Gilmore, who wore 21 last year, just yet. — Todd Archer (@toddarcher) May 1, 2024 Earlier this offseason, the Cowboys resigned Jour ..read more

When the Dallas Cowboys selected Western Michigan defensive end Marshawn Kneeland with the 56th overall pick, I won't lie, it left me shaking my head. Yet, some think he could be a potential steal for Dallas. At first many like myself didn't know who he was because of the fact he played a smaller collegiate program. With the loss of Dante Fowler and Dorance Armstrong, I knew this team would select a defensive end at some point. I just thought it would be someone I had on my draft guide. I missed him. He is a run-stopper on the edge. All I know about Marshawn Kneeland is he's @dpbrugler's guy ..read more

On Tuesday, the Jaguars released veteran wide receiver Zay Jones. The second-round pick in 2017 has been a decent player in his role in his eight-year career. Jones first entered the NFL in the 2017 NFL draft as a second-round pick by the Buffalo Bills. Jaguars released WR Zay Jones and K Joey Slye. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 30, 2024 He compiled 287 receptions for 3,028 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns. His best season came in 2022 when he started 15 games and had 121 targets for 823 yards and five touchdowns. As we all should know by now, Michael Gallup was released and signed ..read more

The Dallas Cowboys will head into the season with three quarterbacks. And all three are in the final year of their respective contracts. Dak Prescott is the unquestioned starter. He brings with him a 73-41 regular season record. He also is saddled with a 2-5 career post-season record. Cooper Rush has been the back up in Dallas for the last three seasons. He is 5-1 as a starter during that time, winning his first five starts in relief of Prescott. Trey Lance will enter his fourth NFL season – second in Dallas – and hasn't played in a regular season game since 2022 with the 49ers. He was 2-2 fo ..read more

An obvious need for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2024 NFL Draft was the linebacker position. They got one but waited until pick 87 to select him, and folks are on the fence whether or not Marist Liufau will be able to make an impact right from the start outside of maybe a special teams role. With that said, I wanted to dive into what other folks think about his upside and downside. After a broken ankle ankle sidelined him for the 2021 season, he started 25 straight starts to finish his career at Notre Dame. He is 238 pounds and played a total of 335 career snaps on both special teams and in Marc ..read more

Early Tuesday afternoon, dallascowboys.com journalist and overall exemplary human Patrik “No C” Walker released the jersey numbers assigned to Cowboys rookies ahead of football activities. Keep in mind that these jersey numbers are subject to change once final rosters are set in late August/early September. #60 Tyler Guyton The Cowboys' massive 1st round pick is keeping the number he wore in college at Oklahoma, rocking #60 in the NFL. Dallas acquired Tyler Guyton by trading back five spots to pick 29 in exchange for an additional pick early in the 3rd round from the Detroit Lions. Many feel ..read more

At the beginning of the month I wrote a pre-draft/free agency prediction post regarding the NFC East. For those of you not wanting to jump over and review it the gist of it was that the Eagles were predicted to win the division in 2024. The Cowboys were in second, just barely above .500. The Giants and Commanders brought up the rear in the post. Here's how the division stacked up in that post: Philadelphia — 11-6 Dallas – 9-8 New York – 6-11 Washington – 5-12 The order in this post really hasn't changed now that the bulk of free agency and the draft have passed. Just the final predicted re ..read more

Cooper Beebe was drafted 73rd overall by the Dallas Cowboys, a player who most had a second-round grade on comes at a great value for Dallas. At Kansas State, Beebe played games at left tackle, left guard, right tackle, and right guard, but none at center, although he did take snaps in practices. With that said, Beebe will compete for the starting center position next season but also provide depth as I noted above. Beebe won back-to-back Big 12 Lineman of the Year awards, as well as being the first Kansas State lineman to have first-team All-American honors. He is 6'3, 322, a flat-out stud. I ..read more

Okay, I've given my opinion on the Cowboys' picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. And I've graded how the NFC East did overall too. Judging by some of the responses, a few of you disagree. Too bad. Because you're dead wrong. And with half a century of watching NFL football – along with 40 years of covering the game at every level – under my belt, yes, I'm right. Once you come to terms with that, we'll be just fine. Now, if we could just get Jerry Jones to see the light… What Dallas Should Have Done Unfortunately, I only write about time travel in some of my novels. I don't actually have a time machine ..read more
