Finally, I’m here to report actual football news from Cowboys training camp. It has been a crazy week since the players and owners agreed on a new CBA. So many players have been released around the league. Free Agency has not disappointed as players have been changing teams quickly. Add in some trades and those with Twitter accounts know how much it’s been on fire with updates this week. Onto the Cowboys as they got into the news [...]

Last night, the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a  very reasonable 4 year, $32 million dollar contract with left tackle Doug Free. Free, who was an unrestricted free agent, will get $17 million dollars of that deal guaranteed. The deal is a great one for the Cowboys and it would appear that he gave the Cowboys a hometown discount based on much higher deals for offensive linemen in the NFL. The savings could give the Cowboys some added flexibility to go [...]

Updating this post with this breaking news on wide receiver Roy Williams: [blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/#!/AdamSchefter/status/95920030000218112"] A total misfit from day one, Williams scored a huge payday in Dallas and never lived up to his hype, his ego or his cost to the team in money and draft picks.

Players will report to San Antonio on Wednesday for physicals, starting with the rookies early in the morning, and the first practice will be Thursday. By league rule, the first three practices will be conducted without pads, so the first padded practice should come Saturday. The Cowboys will hold walkthroughs from 10-11 a.m. and [...]

According to the Associated Press, people familiar with the negotiations told them that the NFL and players have reached a deal to end the lockout. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the process is supposed to remain secret and no formal announcement has been made. Owners overwhelmingly approved a proposal last week, but some unresolved issues still needed to be figured out to satisfy players. The sides worked through the weekend, finally finishing the [...]

By now, every Cowboys fan knows that the team selected offensive lineman Tyron Smith with their 1st round draft pick earlier this year, but did you know that it had been 30 years since the last time the Cowboys drafted that position with their first round pick? It’s true, the Dallas Cowboys selected offensive lineman Howard Richards with their first round selection 1981. That was the year that we were all was introduced to Indiana Jones and “Raiders of the Lost Ark” [...]

Over the years the Cowboys have drafted some of the very best players that have ever played the game. Players like Bob Lilly, Roger Staubach, Bob Hayes, Randy White, Tony Dorsett, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin just to name a few. All these players have helped make the Cowboys what they are today, which is one of the most successful and popular franchises in NFL history. I started to think about some players that were not drafted by [...]

After getting an earful from Hall of Famer Deion Sanders over the weekend, Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant countered Deion’s critical statements by saying that he’s ready to move on from any negative perceptions that exist about him. Sanders, a former mentor to Bryant, told Atlanta’s WCNN on Tuesday that the Cowboys are more concerned than he is about the young player. “It’s hard to talk to a person when they have millions, man, because there is [...]

The Washington Redskins ranked second in the NFL behind Dallas in overall worth, but are considered to be the most profitable franchise in [...]

So far, this NFL Lock-out has been a huge drain on the fans this year. There’s been no off-season trades, no free agents signings, and nothing to get very excited about. The players don’t seem to care as most of them are enjoying life laying out on private beaches, living large at night clubs and casinos, or spending countless hours on the internet chatting with friends or having fun playing online blackjack or poker. The owners [...]

Bill Bates started his career while playing as a safety for the University of Tennessee. While he was there he was named second-team All-Southeastern Conference his junior and senior seasons, and developed a reputation as the team’s hardest hitter and quickest tackler. Bill Bates was much smaller than other safeties in the league and for that reason he was not drafted in the NFL Draft. However, the Cowboys were so impressed with his sheer determination [...]
