Here’s why the Cowboys may essentially be done with free agency for now
They might be focused on a certain big contract negotiation. | Photo by Richard Rodriguez/ It is quite possible the Cowboys already consider themselves done with free agency. Fans of the Dallas Cowboys are enduring what has become an annual rite of the offseason. While virtually every other team in the league, most certainly including their three division rivals, are signing some possibly very helpful talent in free agency, almost nothing has happened in Dallas. They have acquired exactly one outside free agent, linebacker Eric Kendricks. He does seem like a good fit...
Cowboys news: Leighton Vander Esch says goodbye; Rico Dowdle returns
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports The latest Dallas Cowboys offseason news. LVE pens emotional retirement letter to Cowboys - Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com Leighton Vander Esch played all six of his NFL seasons with the Cowboys as their 2018 first-round pick. Vander Esch, lovingly dubbed “Wolf Hunter” by the Cowboys’ fandom who enjoyed letting out the occasional howl whenever the former Boise State linebacker would make a highlight play, penned a heartfelt letter to the team, fans and the league that gave him a chance in 2018. It’s one that’s been months in...

Cowboys free agency leaves a lot of holes, but it’s not as bad as it looks
Photo by Christian Petersen/ There are a lot of people questioning how the Dallas Cowboys are approaching free agency. It’s business as usual for the Dallas Cowboys and that means it’s time to disappoint fans who are holding their breath for some new toys to admire as the team revamps their roster. Most are conditioned for this quiet period, but it’s still concerning because the Cowboys have lost several of their own free agents and signed only one new one. Not only that, but the team is without their regular fourth- and fifth-round draft picks so their draft...

5 running backs the Cowboys should consider trading for in 2024
Photo by Perry Knotts/ Who do you think will be the primary running back for the Cowboys this season? With the well mostly dried up at the running back position in free agency, and the unknown about how things will play out at the position in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys may have to set their sights on the trade market to find Tony Pollard’s replacement. Even upgrading the position that way may be too much to ask, but that should in no way stop them from trying. Over the last several years the Cowboys have been willing to part with late-round draft picks to...
Cowboys, Dak Prescott create $4M in team salary cap space by adding two void years to contract
Photo by Perry Knotts/ The Cowboys and Dak Prescott have worked together to create some much-needed team salary cap space. The second week of free agency begins on Monday, and as it does, the Dallas Cowboys have a little bit more breathing room in terms of salary cap space. It was reported by ESPN’s Field Yates that the Cowboys created $4M in salary cap space by converting part of Dak Prescott’s roster bonus into a signing bonus by adding two void years to his current deal. As his colleague Dan Graziano noted, this could not have happened with Prescott’s...
It’s déjà vu all over again for the Cowboys and their offensive line “crisis”
Photo by Timothy T Ludwig/ This season will present quite the challenge for the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. The Dallas Cowboys lost two important pieces to their offensive line last week. First, we learned that center Tyler Biadasz joined Dan Quinn and the Washington Commanders. That stung a little as the 2022 Pro Bowler has been solid for the team, but he hasn’t necessarily been playing spectacularly over his time in Dallas. Most of us could live with that. But then news broke that Tyron Smith is joining the New York Jets after 13 seasons with the Cowboys. That...

Updates: Igbinoghene latest to join Commanders - Dallas Cowboys.com The Cowboys lost another free agent to the Commanders. The exodus of Dallas Cowboys players heading to the Washington Commanders to reunite with Dan Quinn was halted by Jourdan Lewis and CJ Goodwin, but Noah Igbinoghene has reignited it. The former first-round pick is expected to sign with the Commanders, per multiple reports, ending his short stay in Dallas. Igbinoghene arrived in Dallas by way of a trade with...
Cowboys winners and losers after first wave of free agency
Photo by Timothy T Ludwig/ Who would you say are the biggest winner and losers from free agency so far? The first wave of free agency has come and gone, and the Dallas Cowboys were true to form in their lack of any big moves. They were the last team to sign an external free agent when they agreed to terms with Eric Kendricks, and have only re-signed a few of their own players. With such little activity, it’s fair to wonder which current Cowboys have gained, or lost, the most during this first wave of free agency. Winners Brock Hoffman The Cowboys watched Tyler Biadasz...
5 free agents the Dallas Cowboys could still sign
Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports Contrary to popular belief there are still free agents who the Cowboys could look to sign. The Dallas Cowboys’ approach to free agency for fans is that itch you can’t scratch. You know it bothers you and want to do something about it, but the solution is just out of reach. Yearly, it’s understood that the Cowboys won’t be keen on signing big-name free agents to substantial contracts. Yet, you can’t help but be frustrated seeing division rivals make major additions to their roster within the first few days of free agency while...
Tyron Smith departure creates multiple problems along Cowboys offensive line
Photo by Cooper Neill/ Tyron Smith is officially gone and the Dallas Cowboys now face quite the road to replacing him. The chances of having a good weekend took a turn on Friday night when it was reported that longtime Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith was joining the New York Jets in free agency. It is a 1-year deal worth up to $20M, but much of that money is from playing incentives. Consider that the last NFL game to be played before Tyron Smith was a member of the league was the Super Bowl that Mike McCarthy won at then-Cowboys Stadium as the head coach of the...
6 trades the Cowboys should pursue after the first wave of free agency
Photo by Justin Tafoya/ The Cowboys have plenty of work to do The first wave of free agency for the 2024 offseason seems to be reaching a close, and the Cowboys have unsurprisingly done very little. Their only external signing thus far has been veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks, hardly a marquee signing. As we journey into the second wave of free agency, though, the trade market also begins to pick up some steam. This is an area where the Cowboys have often been more active compared to the free agent pool. With that in mind, here are six players the Cowboys could, and...
4 reasons why Cowboys front office is spot on for their standoffish approach to free agency
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports Fans want action, but the front office of the Cowboys have other plans. The first week of free agency is over and the Dallas Cowboys have done very little in bringing in new players to add to their roster. This isn’t anything new for them as it’s been their modus operandi for years now, but for some reason, every offseason people tend to completely forget that and become very upset with the lack of free agent activity. Adding fuel to the fire, Jerry Jones regretfully uttered the “all-in” comment and now fans have reached a new...
