Dallas Cowboys Face Tough Decisions in Releasing Players and Free Agency
The day following the Super Bowl marks the official beginning of the off season in the NFL. That means that as of midnight Monday morning, teams can now release players to begin preparation for the NFL draft, trades, and free agency. However, if a new collective bargaining agreement is not reached by the March 3 deadline, teams must do all their releasing prior to that date. That means that if Dallas wants to rid itself of any unproductive players, it must do so by the deadline. Unless, of course, team owner Jerry Jones knows something we don’t. (more…)
The Ultimate Plan to Solidify the Dallas Cowboys’ Secondary

Dallas Cowboys Could Pursue Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha in Free Agency
With all the negative talk about the Dallas Cowboys’ secondary this season, it’s tempting to discuss the possibility of team owner and general manager Jerry Jones pursuing free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. I’m not a huge fan of meddling with the Dallas cornerback squad, especially since it includes two former Pro Bowlers. Of course, the whole reason for this speculation is the here-and-now attitude of Jones and Cowboys fans. It’s not like this is a new concept for Jones, either. Do we really need to revisit the Terrell Owens and Pacman Jones episodes? Here’s how Asomugha might fit: (more…)
Why the Dallas Cowboys Should Not Draft LSU’s Patrick Peterson No.9 Overall
With the 2010 season over for the Dallas Cowboys, we now turn oh so prematurely to the NFL draft. There are already a ton of “experts” listing players they think would be good fits for the Cowboys to take with the 9th overall pick in April. I’ve already heard LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson’s name so many times I hate it. Don’t get me wrong; Peterson is a great player who will probably be at least a decent pro, but to say he’s the guy to take before the combine or anything is ridiculous. Also in Peterson’s defense, the same applies for any player that’s already being placed in the 9th slot on mock drafts. However, this article is the first of the draft genre, and it explains why the Cowboys should not take Peterson with the No.9 pick. (more…)
Randy Moss Trade to Vikings Won’t Greatly Affect Cowboys
[picappgallerysingle id="4665084"]The Cowboys play the Vikings in Minnesota on October 17. Until early Wednesday morning, it appeared Dallas might easily revenge their playoff loss as Brett Favre and the Vikings’ passing attack have looked awful through three games. Now there’s a new spin on the story. Randy Moss has been traded back to the Vikings, his old team, and he is the newest factor in the equation. Moss began his career in Minnesota, putting up ridiculous numbers through seven seasons with quarterback Daunte Culpepper. Moss put up at least 1,200 receiving yards in six of those seasons, and his since put up even better numbers in New England. With Sidney Rice still out for the Vikings following hip surgery, Moss provides Favre with the big-play receiver he’s been lacking this season. A seemingly winnable game just got a lot tougher for the Cowboys. (more…)
