Reports are coming out that Dallas signed DE Marcus Dixon out of Hampton to a three-year, $1.1 mil contract.  The undrafted Dixon is listed at 6′4″, 294 lbs. and a gifted pass rusher.  His character and history are two different pictures, a before and after story that really isn’t too pleasant.  But several teams seemed [...]

Dallas had the 92nd overall pick in the third round today, but opted to trade it to the Lions.  Unfortunately, the G-men were then able to choose Mario Manningham with the 95th pick.  The Cowboys elected to trade their 100th pick as well, to Oakland, and didn’t actually take their fourth pick in the draft until number [...]

With the 22nd overall pick in the ‘08 NFL Draft, the Cowboys chose RB Felix Jones out of Arkansas. Now the question will be whether they keep their 28th pick also or trade it for a veteran player. With the possibility of Adam Jones playing this year for Dallas, they might [...]

The latest news has Marion Barber’s agent involved with contract talks with the Cowboys and reportedly asking for a $40-60 million, long-term deal.  Although Barber did have a great season in ‘07, making his first Pro Bowl and rushing for 975 yards, he technically wasn’t the starting RB(except for one game), so the Cowboys have only [...]

The Cowboys are going to get more nationally televised games this year than usual with three NBC Sunday nighters, one CBS afternoon game, one ESPN Monday night game combined with one NFL Network game, making a total of six.  There may be at least one more scheduled later in the season, possibly another Thursday night or Sunday night [...]
