There is one Dallas Cowboys running back who bears the majority of weight on his shoulders, and that is none other than Ezekiel Elliott. Ironically, Zeke will have to do that again in 2021 while weighing less than he has since his college days.

As recently as 2018, many considered the Cowboys trio of Jaylon Smith, Leighton Vander Esch, and Sean Lee as one of if not the best LB corps in the entire NFL. In a couple of short years the Cowboys are on the verge of moving on from all of them. Sean Lee finally retired, Leighton Vander Esch did…

The Dallas Cowboys safety position has long been an area of weakness and at the same time a position the Cowboys front office refuses to invest serious free agent capital or premium draft picks on. The strategy hasn’t changed in 2021 but Cowboys fans are hoping for a different result. Similar to last season, when they signed former first round pick Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to a cheap deal, the Cowboys…
