Over the past month, Cowboys have been teasing a potential change in approach to free agency. If they actually do it, who are the biggest fish that would be a good fit? A look at Tier 1 free agents in @TheAthletic's top-150, and possible fits in Dallas www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Last year, the two words that became the banner of the Cowboys' offseason came from Jerry Jones. "All in." This year, it appears that slogan has evolved, delivered to the masses by Stephen Jones today here at the Combine. "Selectively aggressive." Buckle up.

mock draft szn, so let’s get into a seven-round Cowboys mock (fwiw, I don’t see some of these players being available where they were picked, which is why I had to pick em when they were there in the simulator 🤷🏽‍♂️) Addressing DL, RB top priorities ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

i have never felt more impassioned to boycott all things Mavericks than right now, even more so than the night of the trade. Kicking fans out because they express their opinions at a sporting event, without profanity or belligerence? Coach can't be accountable with a postgame press conference? YIKES

As a lifelong Dallasite, I'm appreciative to be able to offer my perspective on the Luka Doncic trade. You can't truly grasp the depth of Mavs' fans' heartbreak and devastation until you understand how central Dirk Nowitzki is to it all ⤵️ 🚨 www.nytimes.com/athletic/611...

I thought being in the business squeezed out all of my sports fandom. Then Joe Burrow came along.

another layer to this mess is that for my generation, Dirk was basketball. Period. Luka became an extension of that — not just because he was a Euro the Mavs traded for on draft day, but the one-season crossover, embracing the city, on-court talent, etc. All of that is gone.

Cowboys unrestricted free-agent tiers: Who do they need to bring back most? Tier 1: Priority free agents. Tier 2: Actively pursue, but extend at right terms. Tier 3: Nice if things work out but no sweat if they don’t. Tier 4: Move on. *Bonus tier ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/610...

to people blaming/dunking on pro-Palestinian voters who withheld their vote, save it. Instead of blaming the voters, maybe the candidate should have had a stance worth supporting. It wasn't any different under the other administration. Just packaged prettier and moving at a different speed.

One thing we often do in big moments — good or bad — in sports is we look for comparables. We look for precedence. But the Luka Doncic trade is truly unprecedented. And no, the Herschel Walker trade doesn’t come close to matching it in absurdity ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/610...

easy to pile on the Giants, especially with the behind the scenes commentary, but idk how much Saquon would have elevated that team or if he'd be set up to succeed this way. the real mockery should be for contending teams that needed a RB and didn't pursue him in free agency.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys: 5 priorities as he begins big new role ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/608...

In many ways, Brian Schottenheimer is a “safe” hire for Cowboys head coach. But this is also incredible risky by Jerry Jones. Jerry’s running out cards to play to keep the Cowboys’ fanbase engaged. The risk for fan apathy has never been higher ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/608...

things are heating up for the Cowboys with their coaching search, and an agreement could certainly come together soon, as in the next day or two. But Commanders and Eagles play at 2pm Sunday, if you're looking for another window when the news could drop.

Troy Aikman on ESPN talking about the Cowboys moving on from Mike McCarthy: “I love the Dallas Cowboys. I played there for 12 years. I wish them well. But to say it’s a coveted job… I’m not sure that I would agree with that.”

Whether you thought the Cowboys should extend Mike McCarthy or that they should move on, most would agree that the way the Cowboys reached a conclusion was unnecessary and messy. Bad for optics. Bad for the process of finding the next coach. Just... bad ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/605...

Until last week, all the Los Angeles Rams thought about was what they had earned: From a 1-4 start, to the playoffs. But fire changes a person’s world fast. From an improbable rise to a crisis much bigger than football, this is the story of the 2024 Rams: www.nytimes.com/athletic/605...

Jerry Jones has been constantly effusive in his praise, and more so his respect, for Mike McCarthy the past few months. And yet it appears he’s on the verge of handling this in one of the most disrespectful ways possible.

The 2024 Cowboys seasons was one of the more absurd campaigns, for a franchise that is no stranger to absurdities. What contributed to that? From botching big contracts to personnel decisions, off-field distractions and injuries, it was a mess, from the start ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/604...

Whether the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys changes for 2025 is unknown. What is clear, however, is that the general manager will be the same person it’s been since 1989. Jerry Jones. @saadyousuf126.bsky.social has more ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/603...

This industry constantly reminds us how brutal it can be and that nothing is promised. Somehow, I’ve managed to squeeze out eight years covering my hometown NFL franchise, the last two as a full-time beat writer. Sincere thanks to all who have supported me. Never taken for granted.
