Cowboys weigh Porter Jr. debut against Texans after strong practice

Porter, acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers, must pass a second practice session to ensure he is physically ready. Owner Jerry Jones confirmed the trade reflects a 'win-now' strategy and expressed interest in a long-term extension, despite Porter currently being on the final year of his rookie deal.

Cowboys Owner Rejects Schottenheimer's Apology After Rio Collapse

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones rejected head coach Brian Schottenheimer's explanation for the team's 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro.

The game, which ended on a last-second field goal, became the most-watched international NFL game in history, intensifying scrutiny on the coaching staff.

Cowboys' Run Game Stalls as O-Line Struggles Without Smith

The Dallas Cowboys' rushing attack is failing due to poor offensive line play, not the running back. Without All-Pro guard Tyler Smith, the team ranks last in run-block win rate. Coach Brian Schottenheimer has not ruled out using star receiver CeeDee Lamb in the run game, a move that has drawn criticism from fans and analysts.

Cowboys Prioritize Rest Over Rio Field Concerns Ahead of Historic Ravens Clash

The Dallas Cowboys are traveling to Rio de Janeiro for the first-ever NFL game in Brazil, facing the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasized a strict rest protocol during the 10-hour flight to ensure players are ready for practice, dismissing concerns about the playing surface as standard outdoor variables. While players expressed excitement about the historic venue, analysts note the Cowboys' defense remains vulnerable against mobile quarterbacks, a potential weakness against Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.

Insider Claims Milton's Cowboys Exit Was About Focus, Not Talent

Insider Claims Milton's Cowboys Exit Was About Focus, Not Talent

Dallas released quarterback Joe Milton III after preseason struggles and an insider’s claim that Milton was “focused on the wrong things,” suggesting a focus gap more than lack of talent. Milton flashed at times but went 8-of-15 for 92 yards in the final preseason game, while Sam Howell performed better. The move comes with Dak Prescott still the starter, Milton on a low-cost rookie deal, and no draft capital returned after Dallas previously acquired him. Emari Demercado was claimed off waivers on the same day.

Cowboys’ Defense: Early Strides Under Parker, Still Awaiting a Real Test

Dallas’s defense is showing progress in training camp under first-year coordinator Christian Parker, with loud, detailed on- and off-field communication and a focus on mastering fundamentals. Coach Brian Schottenheimer is impressed by Parker’s emphasis on giving and receiving information and the defensive unit’s vocal leadership, but Parker cautions that they haven’t faced game-speed pressure yet. The team made offseason upgrades after a rough 2025 season and could add more pieces before Week 1, while a joint practice with the Rams will serve as an early stress test for the still-developing unit.

Cowboys keep Pickens status under wraps as franchise tag looms

At the NFL Owners Meetings, Dallas declined to update negotiations with George Pickens after placing a non-exclusive franchise tag that would cost $27.29 million in 2026. Stephen Jones wouldn’t comment on the status of talks or Pickens’ attendance at voluntary offseason workouts, while Brian Schottenheimer said he spoke with Pickens but didn’t secure any assurances. The Cowboys have used the tag before and expect Pickens to be with Dallas long-term; the team plans to move him around the offense and work with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb in the offseason as they prepare for year two.

Cowboys pursue a natural, pure draft approach as Pro Day circuit rolls on

Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer says Dallas is set up to 'draft natural, draft pure' in the 2026 NFL Draft after a strong free-agency period, with two first-round picks. He’s increasing his role in the draft process, studying prospects across Pro Days (Miami, Texas) and aligning with new DC Christian Parker to target players who fit the scheme. The team plans to avoid reaching for needs, instead aiming to draft the best available talent while continuing to add depth at several positions, staying open for business as scouting continues.

Schottenheimer Draws a Line as Cowboys Navigate Pickens Contract Saga

Schottenheimer says his relationship with George Pickens won’t change amid ongoing contract talks, while Dallas plans to use the franchise tag as a placeholder with a July 15 deadline. The front office—led by the Joneses—will drive the negotiations with Pickens’ reps, and no move by Schottenheimer can alter that dynamic. He wants Pickens back, and teammates have publicly supported his return, but the business side could create distraction if Pickens skips portions of the offseason program, a scenario the team hopes to avoid based on past experience with Micah Parsons.

Schotty: Bond with Pickens stays intact amid franchise-tag talks

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer says his relationship with George Pickens won’t change regardless of contract talks or the expected franchise tag, noting it’s part of the business side as CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott’s deals were handled. The tag would be a placeholder around $28 million for 2026 while a long-term deal is pursued, with a March 3 deadline to use it. Pickens had a standout 2025 season with 1,429 receiving yards, 93 catches and nine TDs.

Cowboys name Christian Parker new DC, vowing to fix the defense

Dallas named 34-year-old Christian Parker the team's new defensive coordinator after a lengthy, exhaustive interview process that sourced him from the Eagles. He’ll implement a 3-4 look and assemble a staff aligned with Vic Fangio’s philosophy, with head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressing confidence in the fit. Parker said he’s ready to learn from the right people and help Dallas rebuild a historically weak defense for 2026 and beyond.

Cowboys target Christian Parker to lead defensive unit

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly pursuing Christian Parker to become their new defensive coordinator on Brian Schottenheimer’s staff. Parker, who has been the Eagles’ defensive backs coach and pass game coordinator for the last two seasons, also previously coached with the Broncos and Packers; the Packers had shown interest in him for their DC vacancy, but Dallas appears to be the frontrunner after the team’s poor points-allowed season.
