2019 Dallas Cowboys season Archives - Page 4 of 5

Jaylon Smith has a “clear eye view” of his future but Jerry Jones vision may be distorted.

August 22, 2019

When the Dallas Cowboys announced a contract extension for one of their core players on Tuesday, most fans expected it to be Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, or maybe Amari Cooper. Instead they negotiated a Jaylon Smith contract extension one year prior to him becoming a restricted free agent. The deal was worth $64 million over 5 years with $35.5 million in guarantees. Considering how much C.J. Mosley and Bobby Wagner…

Position Preview: Offensive Line

August 20, 2019

0 comment

Despite the reputation of the Dallas Cowboys Offensive Line as the most dominant in the NFL, they did not perform to that standard in 2018. There were plenty of reasons why. Mainly, the loss of All-Pro center Travis Frederick who suffered from the effects of the rare nerve disease Guillain–Barre syndrome. Additionally, fellow All-Pro’s Tyron Smith and Zack Martin struggled with injuries of their own. Finally, an offensive line coaching…

Position Preview: Tight End

August 15, 2019

The Dallas Cowboys tight end position has been a picture of consistency for decades. That is why last season, after Jason Witten retired, Cowboys fans found themselves in the unfamiliar territory of lamenting their clubs status at that position compared to the rest of the league. That is all supposed to change this year since Jason Witten has come out of retirement but is he the answer to the Dallas…

Position Preview: Wide Receiver

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver group is the deepest it has been for a long time. Just last season, it was considered the weakest position group on the team. That was until the team traded a 1st round pick for Amari Cooper which sparked a 7-2 finish to the season, a division title, and a playoff victory. This year, Cowboys fans are much more optimistic about the wide receiver group…

According to NFL Network reporter Jane Slater, Dak Prescott is seeking a $40 million per year contract extension after turning down an offer of $30 million per season. This report has incited a firestorm of reactions from Cowboys fans and members of the media but is it really a cause for concern? Is Dak out of his mind or are he and his camp just playing hardball?

The Ezekiel Elliott holdout came as a surprise to many, including apparently the Dallas Cowboys front office. Now that the August 6th deadline has passed, a date that was believed to be significant as an indication of whether or not Zeke would be willing to miss games this season, it appears that it could go on well into the 2019 regular season. That story line is one of many distractions…

Thoughts on Rico Gathers

August 6, 2019

0 comment

The long overdue headline “Rico Gathers cut from the Dallas Cowboys” has arrived with mixed reactions among Cowboys fans. Despite being a 6th round pick with limited football experience, fans were excited about the potential of the former basketball player to emerge as a mismatch in the passing game. It was worth a roll of the dice at that point in the draft but fast forward 3 years later and…

2019 Position Preview: Running Back

July 29, 2019

0 comment

When discussing Dallas Cowboys running backs, the conversation begins and ends with Ezekiel Elliott. The All-Pro running back has led the league in rushing 2 of his three seasons in the pros despite playing in only 15 games in each of those years. The year he did not lead the league in rushing, he still finished in the top 10 despite missing 6 games. Last season he caught over 70…

Don Meredeth, Roger Staubach, Danny White, Troy Aikman, Tony Romo… The Dallas Cowboys franchise has been fortunate throughout history in that they have rarely gone many years without a legitimate franchise quarterback. The current Dallas Cowboys quarterback, former 4th round pick Dak Prescott, has established himself as the next in line and is due for a significant pay raise. Prescott is not without his critics, but popular opinion is that…
