Getty Images The members of the Competition Committee agree that replay review for pass interference needs to go. They aren’t entirely on the same page as to why it failed, however. Last Friday, Cowboys executive Stephen Jones (a member of the committee) attributed the problems with the rule...

Getty Images The Cowboys have not signed a high-profile free agent to a megacontract since 2012 when cornerback Brandon Carr arrived on a five-year, $50.10 million deal. But they spent more on the free agent market this offseason than they have in recent years. Defensive tackles Gerald McCoy...

Getty Images Another day, another day with no news about Dak Prescott. The Cowboys quarterback remains unsigned more than a year after the sides began talks for a new deal. Who knew it would take this long? “Dak, obviously, is the elephant in the room,’’ Cowboys executive vice president...

Getty Images Defensive end Taco Charlton moved on to his third team in four years earlier this offseason when he signed with the Chiefs shortly after being waived by the Dolphins. That’s more movement early in a career than you usually see from a first-round pick, but Charlton underwhelmed...

Getty Images The notion that the Giants’ 2020 offense will look a lot like the Cowboys’ 2019 offense shouldn’t have been a surprise, given the presence of Cowboys’ 2019 head coach Jason Garrett in New York. But plenty of folks still seemed to be shocked by Tuesday’s disclosure from Giants’ 2020...

Getty Images The Giants are going to run Jason Garrett’s offense, which is no surprise given the former Cowboys head coach now is the Giants offensive coordinator. Second-year quarterback Daniel Jones said the “differences are in the verbiage and how we’re going to call certain things.” What...

Getty Images The Giants likely won’t see the field until training camp. They have a second-year quarterback. Yet, their offense isn’t going to look a lot like it did last season. Instead, it’s going to look more like the 2019 Dallas offense with former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett now the...

Getty Images The Cowboys expect to have DeMarcus Lawrence at one defensive end spot this year, but it’s not clear who will be lining up across from him in Dallas. Randy Gregory and Aldon Smith are two possibilities, although each of them needs to be formally reinstated from suspension by the...

Getty Images Lately, I’ve asked for questions and answered 10 of them on Sundays. This past Sunday, I could say I took a break in deference to Mother’s Day. The truth, however, is that I forgot. So let’s do it today. At first I thought it made sense because things would be starting to slow...

Getty Images The recent explosion in quarterback contracts has made one dynamic incredibly clear: The longer a team waits to pay a quarterback, the more expensive it will be. That’s what the Cowboys currently are facing with Dak Prescott, a fourth-round pick in 2016 who has started 64 of 64...

Getty Images Tua Tagovailoa was the second quarterback selected in last month’s draft, and he has yet to play a game. Dolphins fans, though, are buying in. Literally. Tagovailoa has the NFL’s two highest-selling jerseys since the draft, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN reports. Tagovailoa’s aqua...

Getty Images Replay review for pass interference is dead. That’s been firmly established. But here’s the lingering question: What will the league use to avoid another Rams-Saints NFC Championship debacle? “There’s options that we’re going to be reviewing,” Cowboys exec and Competition...

Getty Images DeMarcus Lawrence signed a five-year, $105 million extension a year ago. Statistically, last season was the worst among the four seasons he has played all 16 games. The Cowboys defensive end finished with only five sacks. The only seasons he had fewer sacks came in his rookie...

Getty Images A whole generation of Cowboys fans have no idea the Cowboys used to consistently contend. Their team, of course, hasn’t reached the NFC Championship Game since 1995. That was the Cowboys’ last Super Bowl season. In the past 24 seasons, only Dallas, Detroit and Washington have...

Getty Images Five teams pursued Andy Dalton after the Bengals released him. One of those reportedly was the Jets. Rich Cimini of ESPN reports the Jets “flirted with” Dalton before he signed with the Cowboys, and the interest was “mutual.” The Jets need a veteran a quarterback and should sign...
