Cowboys News: Great replacement theory as Quinn leaves, Diggs and Parsons speak up

Who is going to replace Quinn at the top of Dallas’ defensive coaching totem and what other vacancies could open up on the staff? | From @ArmyChiefW3

A flurry of Cowboys news sends two rivals competing for the same meal as the inevitable finally happened and Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn accepted the head coaching offer from the Washington Commanders. Both NFC East teams will now scramble to fill roles currently open on both defensive staffs but should the Cowboys be worried about coaches being poached from the other side of the ball too? Before getting too far ahead, rumors are swirling about who could become the next defensive coordinator in Dallas. Evidence suggests the team can go in multiple directions but one player already has his preference.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently commented about the club being “all in,” but what does that look like? Star pass rusher Micah Parsons fires back at those who believe he threw his teammates under the bus. Salary cap decisions loom in the wideout room. Early draft candidates for No. 24 and much more in the latest edition of Cowboys news and notes.

Cowboys News: ‘Dak Prescott trade’ thought exercise, and is McCarthy safe?

Early onset of the offseason means questions about McCarthy, a look at who wants Quinn and wondering what kind of compensation could come in a Prescott trade. | From @ArmyChiefW3

Reacting as if the sky is falling is a popular move once a team with high hopes has a season end abruptly as it did for the Cowboys on wildcard weekend. Once doubt starts to creep in, thoughts you may not have had a few days ago could make you wonder about the future of your favorite football team. Like most pain, time will heal the wound but the memory won’t be forgotten. After taking time to allow you to collect your thoughts and gather the most pertinent information, questions can start to be asked. A popular inquiry would be the immediate status of head coach Mike McCarthy. Some may even question if a move at quarterback may be warranted.

While many may have had the questions above cross their mind, rational thinking allows you to double-check if saying those things out loud, or on Twitter, is a good idea. What is a good idea is getting to know the available players in this year’s NFL draft as well as where Dallas will be picking. Speaking of picking, multiple teams without head coaches sure seem to like Dallas defensive coach Dan Quinn. Will someone pick him in the coming days? Lastly, as the season comes to a close with exit interviews and parting words among teammates, how many people are expected back in Dallas? All that and more in the latest edition of Cowboys News and notes.

Cowboys News: Parsons, Prescott snubbed by peers, offer Quinn can’t refuse?

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and pass rusher Micah Parsons were left off the NFLPA All Pro list. Cowboys a betting favorite against Green Bay. | From @ArmyChiefW3

The end of the regular season brings individual awards and recognition for jobs well done. And while there’s certainly competition across every position group of the league, the NFLPA’s choices for their All-Pro team left two of the Cowboys’ best players out in the cold.

Meanwhile Dallas looks to have developed some much needed depth in a crucial position group, and right in time for the games that matter most. Attrition rate is something head coach Mike McCarthy talked about in training camp and that focus is now paying dividends. Staying on the topic of coaches, Dallas will once again have to sweat out the possibility another team snatches up Dan Quinn. This cycle includes his old stomping grounds and an opportunity that might be too good to pass up. All that and more in this edition of Cowboys news and notes.

Cowboys News: Replacement levels, milestones, contract talks

A few Cowboys can reach milestones in the regular season finale and a former GM thinks Dallas could run the table. | From @ArmyChiefW3

The season’s final week carries massive playoff implications, yet the hope is for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott to play the minimum number of snaps possible. While the outcome of the game is of utmost importance, a few members of the team can reach significant milestones that would make even the greatest coaches in Cowboys history envious.

The revival of one of the greatest playoff rivalries in NFL history has a former front-office personnel guy singing the Cowboys praises. History may suggest he is correct.

Becoming more efficient in contract negotiations would make life easier, and the decisions Dallas makes to create more cap space may be the reason an off-season divorce happens. Also, could the Cowboys style of offense be the reason for success or will it become their fatal flaw? Finally, as the information about this week’s opponent continues to trickle in, all signs point to a team ready to begin their offseason; Dallas beware. All that and more on this edition of Cowboys news and notes.

Cowboys News: Loss of a legend, newest signing speaks, can offense be fixed?

The Dallas Cowboys got back to practice but the injury woes continue. The organization lost a real-life cowboy and former player, while the world wonders if the offense can be fixed. From @ArmyChiefW3

For the second consecutive week, the Cowboys will travel to California. The Monday night matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers allowed the Cowboys to push their typical Wednesday practice to Thursday and the extra day of rest may have come at the right time. 17 players popped up on the first injury report of the week although, looks can be deceiving from at this point in the schedule.

Los Angeles should see a few familiar names return, but unlike the current betting line, early-week predictions sway in the home team’s favor. Menawhile, the passing of former Cowboys fullback Walt Garrison sent many to social media to express their sorrow for a key member of Dallas’ first Super Bowl victory. Garrison was a champion on and off the field.

Here are the latest in Cowboys news and notes, including how much information former Cowboys and now current offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is divulging about his former squad?

Cowboys News: Takeaways as fights break out in final day of padded camp practice

The Cowboys released some frustration and energy on Wednesday, plus some looks at the biggest roster battles as the team closes out camp. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys have just one day left in Oxnard, CA, as their 2023 training camp journey comes to an end. On Thursday the final preparations will be made for their Friday flight to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in the second of three exhibition games. Following Saturday’s contest, the club will fly back to Dallas to hold their final few practices before the third contest and then get to the business of whittling down the roster for the start of the regular season.

But on Wednesday, the club let the emotion loose. Practice was intense and eventually led to fights that included star defender Micah Parsons throwing hands at offensive linemen. That’s fights, plural. Here’s a look at all of that action, along with the latest in news and notes from the day.

Cowboys News: Training camp kicks off, roster predictions, what’s at stake in 2022

2022 training camp kicked off in earnest for the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday with their first practice of the year. Getting to watch the Cowboys do actual football activities for the first time since their wild-card loss in January is a sight for sore eyes. Head coach Mike McCarthy took to the podium to talk about many of the offseason questions, including the direction of the offense, Ezekiel Elliott’s thirst for football knowledge and his own weight loss.

Meanwhile there are highlights of the drills and 11-on-11 work for fans to consume. Also, the finale of several lists and expectations for the upcoming season were released and of course Cowboys players figured prominently in them all, whether positive or negative. Take a spin through it all here in the latest edition of news and notes.

Cowboys News: How Prescott stands out, ’22 training camp gets a charge

Dallas rookies who can start in 2022, big concerns alongside high rankings and looking back on an integral Cowboys staffer in the 1990s. | From @CDBurnett7

With training camp around the corner, the Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers announced joint practices. Fans into that sort of thing are wondering if it will live up to the hype of Connor Williams and Aaron Donald going toe-to-toe and sharing some extracurricular contact after the play.

A titan during the rise of Dallas in the 1990s, Larry Lacewell was the scouting director during the Cowboys’ golden age. He has unfortunately passed away. The safety position was once neglected by Dallas, but the position a strong spot on the 2021 defense. Offensive lineman Tyler Smith is expected to start while wide receiver Jalen Tolbert could be picking up the slack early in the season. On the other side of the ball, John Ridgeway could be a big piece for Dan Quinn in rotating his defensive linemen and keeping them fresh. Here’s a look at the latest news and notes.

Cowboys News: Latest Joseph updates, including mock to protect from worst-case, Pollard pub

Cowboys news and notes full of potential draft targets, 7-round mocks, Kelvin Joseph latest news, and much more. | From @AsaHenry_55

Shocking news broke earlier in the week that police wanted to interview Dallas Cowboys cornerback, Kelvin Joseph, in reference to his association with a murder committed on March 18 in Dallas. On Friday both Joseph’s attorney and the Cowboys released statements regarding the situation.

With less than two weeks until the NFL draft, how does that impact the Cowboys plans? Check out a 7-round Cowboys mock draft that takes the potential corner need into account, and still delivers a draft Cowboys fans should be thrilled to have. Plus, four prospects to target should Dallas trade-up in Round 1, eight players that are “sleepers” at pick 24, and a ranking of the Cowboys positional need.

News, Notes: Schultz tagged, no anger for Anger, 3 Cowboys named underrated FA

Dallas has 21 free agents and apparently the league doesn’t think too highly of any, but they are too low on three of them. Tag fallout, combine rearview and more. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys made their first two moves of the offseason, and showed their hands on a couple other question marks. As the first deadline of the 2022 league year came and went, there was action around the league when it came to the franchise tags and what others were doing could have played a role in how Dallas navigated their own decision.

While Dalton Schultz was the headliner, the Cowboys also made a move at the wide receiver position, resigned themselves to not being able to make another and still left fans up in the air about the biggest decision of them all, what is happening with Amari Cooper. And while fans are ticked off Dallas is spending on Schultz instead of (potentially) Cooper, he is one of 3 Cowboys to be named underrated free agents.
