In this short video preview, Emmitt Smith discovers that his ancestor, a slave girl named Mariah, was sold in 1826 [...]

I’m sure we have all watched over the last week as the 2010 Free Agent class has made their rounds. Some teams have made a splash like Chicago signing Julius Peppers and Chester Taylor. Other teams have been quiet like our very own Dallas Cowboys. I like how Jerry Jones has approached Free Agency. He’s letting things settle down before he starts making some phone calls. I read on DallasNews.com that Jones is getting ready [...]

It’s been pretty quiet this week as far as Cowboys news goes, but here’s a few things that might interest some of you. To begin, the Oakland Raiders have released ex-Cowboy Greg Ellis after a dismal injury-plagued season. one-year stint on the West Coast. he still has some money coming to him from the guaranteed $10 million dollars he received from the Raiders. It looks like it might be the end of the road for [...]

  Well after what has seemed to be an eternity, I have decided to crawl out of my off-season hole and get back into the real world. I apologize to my co-writers and to our Lone Star Struck fans for not blogging about our Cowboys. Ever since that loss to the Vikings, I have been in, what I did not want to believe, a depressed state of mind. I have finally realized that loss affected me [...]

Terrell Owens is now a UFA which means unrestricted free agent. Anyone can pick him up for however much money he and his agent agree to. He is an example of the joys of free agency which give hope to struggling teams looking to improve their team by going after experienced players for lucrative contracts. According to Sports Illustrated, Cowboys wide receiver, Patrick Crayton, has stated that he would welcome the return of Terrell Owens [...]

Help could be on the way for the Cowboys as the official start of free agency begins in a little less than an hour. As expected, the Arizona Cardinals released safety Antrel Rolle this afternoon to avoid ponying up a $4 million roster bonus. Expect the Cowboys to take a long, hard look at bringing Rolle in to fill the ever-vacant safety position. Rolle is a young 27-years old, and played cornerback for the first [...]

Only a few hours before Free Agency starts, the Cowboys have made offers to the following players as reported by DallasNews.com… Miles Austin, First Round Tender Sam Hurd, Second Round Tender Corey Procter, Second Round Tender Jason Hatcher, Second Round Tender Pat McQuistan, Original Draft Pick Junior Siavii, Original Draft Pick Marcus Spears, Original Draft Pick Stephen Bowen, Second Round Tender Pat Watkins, Original Draft Pick Duke Preston, Original Draft Pick Gerald Sensabaugh, Second Round [...]

Today is a big day for the Cowboys as they must tender offers to their 13 restricted free agents by the 11:00 pm CST deadline tonight. You can be sure that both wide receiver Miles Austin and safety Gerald Sensabaugh will both receive high tenders from the Cowboys and that neither will be going anywhere. Clarence E. Hill of the Star-Telegram speculates that Austin will receive the highest tender possible — a one-year salary of $3.168 million [...]

Every offseason we go through the same drought. After five years you would think one would be used to it. Every now and again you will find a story the media has brewed up to stir some controversy. Nine times out of ten those stories are speculation and hype that never develops. The most interesting subject this offseason will no doubt be the salary cap issue and how it affects free agency. The draft is [...]

Over the next few weeks leading up to the draft, I will put together a Cowboys Draft Series covering prospects and positions that I feel the Cowboys will be most interested in come the first round on April 22. The main factors for choosing the prospects to watch include the Cowboys’ position in the draft and players that fit their schemes on offense and defense. This week I will focus on the wide receiver position. [...]
