Cooper Kupp says Rams are looking to trade him ‘immediately’; could the Cowboys be a fit? :: Dallas Morning News
With word coming down that he’s actively being shopped, Kupp could fit in nicely behind CeeDee Lamb in the Cowboys passing attack. While the Rams have expressed a willingness to absorb some of a $29.7 million cap hit in order to move Kupp, it seems unlikely that the Joneses will fork out what it would take to get 2021’s Offensive Player of the Year.
Myles Garrett trade odds for 31 NFL teams :: Dawgs by Nature
Very shortly after Garrett announced his desire to be traded out of Cleveland, Vegas put up odds for all 31 teams on where he might wind up. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Cowboys lead the list at 4/1 odds. (Philadelphia and Washington are up there, too.) Garrett specifically says he wants to go contend for a Super Bowl, and while Dallas has been a mix of contender and mess lately, a move this big seems unlikely for Jerry Jones after the year he’s had. Which is exactly why it will remain a tantalizing possibility to so many…
Report: Cowboys to hire RB coach with ties to Alvin Kamara, Austin Ekeler :: Cowboys Wire
Derrick Foster will come to Dallas fresh from working in New Orleans with Alvin Kamara for a year. Prior to that, he helped lead Austin Ekeler to his best three years of production with the Chargers. Now he’ll be tasked with turning around a Cowboys ground game that was near the bottom in most categories last season.
Cowboys hire David Overstreet as their cornerbacks coach :: ProFootballTalk
Overstreet was with Matt Eberflus in both Chicago and Indianapolis, so his addition to the Dallas defensive staff shouldn’t be a huge surprise. The Dallas native is the son of the late David Overstreet, who chose the CFL after the Dolphins made him first-round pick in 1981 and then joined Miami for the 1983 season before losing his life in a 1984 car accident.
Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons explains why he almost quit football :: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Parsons is no stranger to hard work, but he says the grind at Penn State nearly drove him to quit the game just two months in. “I was in a 4 a.m. group, like when we had to have, like, morning workouts at 4:00 a.m. Like, I was in that era of, like, like, pain and suffering, like, before they kind of like, tweaked it out,” he said on his podcast, talking of the pre-NIL days. “Yeah, it’s sweet now, bro.”
Anti-Jerry: NBA’s Mavs show Cowboys fans the flaws of a professional GM :: Cowboys Wire
Mavericks GM Nico Harrison defended the Luka Dončić trade by citing things like culture, fit, defense, and conditioning as reasons. It was a move that made Jones and the Cowboys look good. But unlike Jones, Harrison doesn’t have the benefit of eternal job security on his side; that no doubt contributed to the highly controversial roster move. Say what you will about Jones and the Cowboys’ unique power structure, but the man has to weigh the long-term value of a superstar player in a way that Harrison did not. If anything, maybe that leads to a lack of aggressiveness in making offseason moves to help the Cowboys win now.
Ranking Dončić-to-Lakers among biggest Cowboys, Mavs, Rangers, Stars trades :: Cowboys Wire
Dallas sports has seen its share of stunning blockbuster trades. The Cowboys’ acquisition of Lions wide receiver Roy Williams in 2008 was one, as was the trade for Amari Cooper 10 years later and getting Joey Galloway eight years before. Landing Charles Haley was the final touch the dynasty needed, but nothing will likely ever compare to the 1989 deal that sent Herschel Walker to Minnesota for a truckload of draft picks that kickstarted three Super Bowl runs.
Lance Zierlein 2025 NFL mock draft 1.0: Giants land Travis Hunter; Bengals add WR for Joe Burrow :: NFL.com
The network’s draft analyst thinks the Cowboys will look to their D-line in the first round. He picks Mississippi defensive tackle Walter Nolen, who he says will be a disrupter on all three downs. In this mock, Dallas leaves Jalon Walker, Luther Burden III, Nic Scourton, and Emeka Egbuka on the board to grab Nolen.
WATCH: Cowboys return ace KaVontae Turpin dominates Pro Bowl… on defense?!? :: Cowboys Wire
Turpin put his blazing speed to good use on defense during the NFC-AFC flag football game, bagging both Joe Burrow and Russell Wilson for sacks and preventing a touchdown by chasing down Brian Thomas Jr. at the goal line. The return specialist thought he’d be taking home the MVP trophy but says he had fun moonlighting on the other side of the ball.
Super Powers: What 1971 Cowboys had the current Cowboys need :: The Mothership
The Cowboys’ first Super Bowl-winning squad boasted a stellar offensive line who paved the way for 25 rushing touchdowns that season. (Dallas had just six this year but played three more games.) They also had a linebacker corps with two future Ring of Honor members. And, of course, they got MVP-caliber play from their quarterback, as Roger Staubach was the runner-up for the regular-season award. Come closer to that on those three fronts, and the 2025 Cowboys will be well on their way to a sixth Lombardi Trophy.
Washington owner Josh Harris says Commanders will remain team’s nickname :: The Athletic
Despite a vocal contingent of fans who want to return to their former nickname, the Cowboys’ longest-standing rivals will remain known as the Commanders, says the team’s owner. The name isn’t exactly a fan favorite, but many inside and outside team headquarters began embracing the moniker over their 12-5 regular season and two road playoff wins last month.
