As a whole the team addressed their biggest concerns on each side of the ball by trading for veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks and cornerback Stephon Gilmore. They’ve brought back key pieces on both sides of the ball. And to make matters even better, they’ve done some fantastic contract re-structuring to save quite a bit of cap space. It’s put Cowboys Nation in such a great...

Lotta talent here. | Photo by Rob Carr/ With free agency already in the cleanup stages, lets review things by unit. It has been a remarkably satisfying free agency for the Dallas Cowboys. They have made two of the most highly-regarded trades this offseason. Those, by the way, may be a new tool they have honed as another way of using their resources to upgrade the team. They have re-signed or otherwise retained some key players from last season. And they have made some judicious and useful outside signings to help assure they have no major holes and shore up the...

Photo by Cooper Neill/ Dallas has a grade that stands above the rest of the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys usually pick from free agency’s leftovers during the month of March. 2023 seems to be the year of Owner and General Manager Jerry Jones, as he’s put himself in the early conversation for executive of the year. Dallas made it their mission to re-sign players like Donovan Wilson, Leighton Vander Esch, Cooper Rush, Dante Fowler, and others who were key players to the team’s success in 2022. Those are the moves that are “on-brand” for the Cowboys every year What...

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Your Saturday morning news around the Dallas Cowboys. 2023 Dallas Cowboys offseason dates officially announced - RJ Ochoa, Blogging the Boys The Cowboys' 2023 season will be here before you know it. We are approaching the final week of March and while free agency has been surprisingly fun for the Dallas Cowboys all of the action that we have seen from this team during it has us anxious, even more so than usual, to see this team in some tried and true action. Unfortunately we will all have to be a bit more patient in order to see the latter...

We are approaching the final week of March and while free agency has been surprisingly fun for the Dallas Cowboys all of the action that we have seen from this team during it has us anxious, even more so than usual, to see this team in some tried and true action. Unfortunately we will all have to be a bit more patient in order to see the latter days of July, but there are plenty of opportunities for the Cowboys to work before then. Friday afternoon saw the announcement of this year’s offseason dates and...

Photo by Cooper Neill/ Based on recent history the Cowboys probably got more for those picks via trade than if they’d used them in the draft. After trading for WR Brandin Cooks and CB Stephon Gilmore last week, the Cowboys now have two fewer fifth-round picks in the 2023 NFL Draft. While you’d always like to have as many picks as possible, Dallas’ recent history in the 5th round shows that using them in these trades probably will lead to might better outcomes. With their original selection and two compensatory picks, the Cowboys had three total fifth-rounders...

Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/ With reports coming from earlier this offseason that the Cowboys could be moving on from kicker Brett Maher, they should look at a veteran who has done well against them in the past. Entering the playoffs in the 2022 NFL season, it appeared the Dallas Cowboys had finally found their kicker in Brett Maher. He had an incredibly efficient regular season, making 29 of his 32 field goal attempts. He went 9/9 from 20-29 yards out, 5/5 from 30-39 yards out, 6/7 from 40-49 yards out, and 9/11 from 50+ yards out. Heading into the postseason,...

As weeks pass, details emerge about how negotiations with players and the front office went down. In this week’s mailbag on DallasCowboys.com, Nick Eatman explained how the Cowboys “got lucky” Rush returned to Dallas as the backup to Dak Prescott. Nick: From the sound of things, the...

Raymond Carlin III-USA TODAY Sports The Cowboys are rightfully buying into being a defensive team with one of the best coordinators in the NFL leading the way. There’s no denying that the Dallas Cowboys are having a massively productive offseason. In some ways they’ve stuck to their usual tactics of prioritizing internal free agents and finding value players to fill roster needs in preparation for the draft, but in others been uncharacteristically aggressive in trading for Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks. With so much positivity this early in the offseason, an...
