Here are five different scenarios where the Cowboys choose not to re-sign one of their young stars
If the team passes on not re-signing one of their big name players, what’s it going to take? Not a whole lot of attention has been given to free agency as the Dallas Cowboys are using their cap resources to re-sign their own stars. With DeMarcus Lawrence, Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, and Byron Jones all needing new deals - the front office has a lot of big decisions to make. Most of these players will get a huge second contract and it’s very possible that all of them are with the team for years to come. But it’s also possible that one of these players will slip through...

Why the Dallas Cowboys are better off after re-signing Tavon Austin, letting Cole Beasley walk
Defogging the Cowboys' intentions is rarely easy, except on a football field, of course. And don't even get me started on Earl Thomas.But Tavon Austin instead of Cole Beasley? Let's look at the reasons besides money, the obvious place to start.Beasley was Dak Prescott's best bud, an asset to his development early. But his value diminished with the acquisition of Amari Cooper and drafting of Michael Gallup. Cooper can do everything Beasley does, and he's bigger, faster and stronger. Gallup's development over the second half of his rookie season also made him a more viable target.The Cowboys...

Film Room: Witten’s return could mean more critical connections between him and Prescott
While Jason Witten won’t spend as much time on the field, we could see more great plays like we did in seasons past. In this chapter of Film Room, we’re diving into the archives of tight end Jason Witten. The Cowboys offense came into 2018 without two of its long-time fixtures in wide receiver Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten. They managed to replace Bryant by trading for Amari Cooper midseason, but the loss of Witten was still felt. Despite his age, Jason Witten coming out of retirement could be huge for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense. This is particularly true with wide...

SportsDay's top 25 athletes 25-and-under: Which rising star takes the top spot?
The D-FW area has no shortage of elite young athletes. Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott has led the NFL in rushing multiple times in his young career.

Earl Thomas is just the latest game-changer deemed too rich for the richest team in football
Safety Earl Thomas' long journey out of Seattle ended Wednesday when he landed in Baltimore. That's OK, Cowboys fans, Sean Lee is locked up for another year.Wide receiver Cole Beasley left Tuesday for the relative riches of Buffalo, leaving someone else to catch Dak Prescott's third-down chains-moving throws. That's fine, Jason Witten is on his way down from the TV booth as we speak.The Cowboys have a bizarre approach to free agency, a prudence bordering on penuriousness that prevents them from going after game-changing players.

Former Cowboys DT Jason Hatcher rips former teammate Tony Romo; 'I'll take Dak over Romo any day'
During Jason Hatcher's eight seasons in Dallas, the Cowboys' quarterback was Tony Romo.The former defensive lineman made it pretty clear during a Tuesday radio interview that he wasn't a huge fan of the team's former franchise QB.Early in the interview on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM], Hatcher was critical of the Cowboys' current quarterback, Dak Prescott.

Where Cowboys QB Dak Prescott can improve this offseason, and why Sean Lee is still worth the money
Jean-Jacques Taylor, Cowboys insider for NBC 5 in Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS-TV) and host of JaM Session 9 a.m.-1 p.m. weekdays on 103.3 KESN-FM, answered questions about the team during a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:Is Sean Lee worth what he will be getting paid next year as a glorified backup?JJT: Sean Lee is scheduled to earn $3.5 million next year, which is about $1.5 million more than most backup linebackers. He's not going to play special teams, but I think he'll be good for Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch. If either goes down, he can help hold the team together until...

Looking at a receiver that the Cowboys could target in April. We are back again with another draft prospect to know, as the 2019 NFL Draft is just around the corner. We looked at Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell the other day. The speedster has the athletic ability to develop into a weapon on the next level.

Why the sky is not falling and fans just need to breathe when it comes to the Cowboys offseason
It’s a long offseason, and the team has a lot to do, so it’s not really surprising they haven’t gotten all those canards linearly aligned yet. The season is over for the Dallas Cowboys. They have completely messed up with their own players and will lose DeMarcus Lawrence, Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and everyone else who is even close to having their contract expire. Free agency will only yield a backup lineman coming off of double knee surgery and a parking attendant to be named later. No first-round pick means they might as well not even turn in any names and just focus on...

Jason Witten's return could mean Cole Beasley's time with the Cowboys is done
Jon Machota, Cowboys beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the team in a live chat recently. Check out the highlights:Is Cole Beasley definitely gone now that Jason Witten can fill right back into a Dak Prescott's security blanket role instead of Beasley?Machota: The Jason Witten addition doesn't play as much a role as just the interest from other teams and how much the Cowboys are willing to pay a veteran slot receiver. I would say because of those reasons it's unlikely Cole Beasley will be wearing a Cowboys uniform in 2019. And while having...
