A collection of blog posts and articles highlighting the Dallas Cowboys free agency period, new signings, departures, and additions.
The Dallas Cowboys have many decisions to make with regards to which core players they will sign to long-term contracts and which players they will be forced to move on from. Signing Demarus Lawrence to a long-term deal represented the first domino to fall and QB Dak Prescott is likely the next man up. What has become apparent for the Dallas Cowboys is that the existence of the salary cap…
The dream of signing safety Earl Thomas was crushed earlier this month and the Dallas Cowboys have finally settled on free agent safety George Iloka as a consolation prize. Last season, the Cowboys had an opportunity to bring in Iloka along with several other free agent safeties who went unsigned prior to the 2018 season but they held back, likely hoping to acquire Thomas at some point. Now that Thomas…
The Dallas Cowboys have finally started to make a little noise in free agency. They had added some defensive line depth by signing DT Christian Covington and DE Kerry Hyder Jr. They had also brought back some additional depth pieces such as WR/PR Tavon Austin, OT Cameron Fleming, FB Jamize Olawale, LB Justin March-Lillard, DT Daniel Ross, and S Darian Thompson. Not to mention they also brought back out of…
The Dallas Cowboys had hoped to secure a long-term deal for DeMarcus Lawrence before the deadline to franchise tag him but the two sides were reportedly too far apart in their negotiations. Now for the second straight year Lawrence was tagged and this time he will not sign the tender. The Cowboys have until July 15th to reach a long-term deal or else D-Law would have the option to skip…
Dallas Cowboys fans across the nation are doing backflips after hearing the news that Jason Witten is back with the team. Jason Witten immediately addresses what was a clear need at the tight end position for Dallas but will his return make the Cowboys a better team in 2019? The simple answer is yes but there is still cause for gloom and doom fans like myself to be a tiny…
Football is a young man’s game. In today’s NFL, the way the salary cap is structured makes that statement all the more relevant. Players are not rewarded for what they have done in the past but instead are cast aside when their performance dwindles, health deteriorates, a younger and cheaper replacement becomes available, or if the team simply wishes to go in a different direction. In order to remain competitive,…
There is a large number of Dallas Cowboys unrestricted free agents that could potentially test the open market on March 14th when the NFL free agent signing period officially begins. This year the Dallas Cowboys are in the unfamiliar position of having significant cap space to work with but with expiring contracts to young stars such as Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliot, Amari Cooper and several others, some hard decisions must…
Unrestricted free agent Cole Beasley is a key figure in the Dallas Cowboys offense. He is Dak Prescott‘s most trusted WR and has come through time and time again in clutch situations. With his impending loss in free agency the Dallas Cowboys will be hard pressed to replace him so is it worthwhile for Jerry Jones and co. to ensure that Cole Beasley remains on the roster in 2019? Beasley’s…
Monday, July 16, 2018 is the deadline for the Cowboys to reach an agreement for a long-term contract with standout DE Demarcus Lawrence but reportedly that is unlikely to happen. It is all but certain that D-Law will play the 2018 season under the franchise tag. The Cowboys are trying to play it safe once again. It worked to their advantage in the case of Anthony Spencer a few…
Former Cowboy DT Terrell McClain may be on his way back to Dallas. McClain, who can play at the 1-technique spot, was a key component to the defensive line rotation in both the 2014 and the 2016 division winning teams. The Cowboys certainly need to address the interior defensive line and bringing him back would help but would it be enough? Certainly not! For years the Cowboys have been bargain shopping for free agent defensive tackles as a…
