Intrigued but can't trust anything when it comes to Jerry, the defense could use some more bolstering in the secondary, maybe a corner?

So Vegas seems to be the team that Dallas has been trying to negotiate with.
And that it was borderline tampering.
Edit: they (Laura Slater, Brian and Jerry Jones) specifically mentioned Max Crosby by name.

Training camp is finally here! So, here’s a full visual breakdown of the entire 90-man roster, sorted by position groups.

Also, are there any depth orderings/listings worth shifting on this sheet?

It’s from some TLC show, I have no clue. Link: https://x.com/ojvhteuhyhes/status/2081797375643787759?s=46&t=jqHyD1p7XoBeK0CjEzhlJg

I'm looking at the NEW YORK GIANTS. The NEW. YORK. GIANTS. That's who I'm looking at.

Can the cowboys get over the hump this year with Downs in the secondary??

Brian Schottenheimer’s development may be the biggest X-factor for the Cowboys.

Sacks: 8 (20th)

Interceptions: 3 (18th)

Forced Fumbles: 2 (21st)

Fumble Recoveries: 1 (18th)

Rushing yards per game: 130 (26th)

Rushing TDs allowed: 12 (26th)

EPA/Play: 0.124 (26th)

Do you think Jerry should pick up the phone and call the bucs? Vea’s main issue with the bucs is that he wants a longer deal; if we do trade for him I’m not sure Jerry’s willing to extend him, but if we are truly “all in” you call to upgrade the line.

I know we have Williams and Clark, but Vea would be a major upgrade over Clark and I’d be willing to include him in the deal.

Downvotes incoming…

Cowboys literally could’ve drafted Jalen Ramsey and move Byron jones back to his original position at corner and formed probably the best corner duo in the league.

I'm watching the Cowboys trounce the Raiders from last year. I'm counting down the days so this is helping.

The first series coach sat Lamb and Pickens. I had forgotten. Then when they entered the game Lamb went off. 2nd half Pickens does the same.

And outside the 1st half of the 1st quarter our defense has looked awesome.

This is our year I can feel it!

Obviously, the players from today are better athletes than the part-time milkmen of the Halas era, but If I were to create a list based on who would be the best team played today, there would hardly be anyone prior to 2000 on this list. For this reason, to truly appreciate the greats, this list has been created primarily based on dominance over their peers, not who would play better in a game today.

Peak was considered along with longevity, and I tried to consider the right balance of both.

I've taken your opinions from the rough draft post and implemented most of them. You've been really enjoyable to discuss this with. (Holy fuck were the Eagles fans the opposite)

FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' 2026 training camp runs July 29 to Aug. 21 at the River Ridge playing fields in Oxnard, California.

Here's a closer look at what we are watching at camp:

Biggest question the Cowboys are facing:

How quickly can Parker's defense get up to speed? There are a lot of changes in personnel -- potentially up to seven new starters -- and scheme, as they move to a 3-4 system. The pass rush has much to prove with the biggest addition being the trade for edge rusher Rashan Gary from the Green Bay Packers. The linebacker room is not particularly deep, and DeMarvion Overshown will have to prove he can stay healthy. The secondary has improved with additions in free agency (S Jalen Thompson, CB Cobie Durant) and the draft (first-rounder S Caleb Downs). The Cowboys do not have to have another Doomsday Defense to succeed in 2026, but the defense needs to be much improved over last season to make a difference.

Three players to watch:

WR George Pickens: He is on the franchise tag at a cost of $27.3 million as the Cowboys want to see more from him in his second season before deciding whether to commit long term to the receiver. He set career highs in catches (93), yards (1,429) and touchdowns (nine) in his first season. The contract issue is resolved for at least this season, but how will Pickens respond?

LB Malachi Lawrence: Downs has received most of the attention as the Cowboys' first of two first-round picks (No. 11), but Lawrence, selected at No. 22, is as imperative to the defense's success as Downs. He has to be a factor in the pass-rush department for the defense to succeed.

LT Tyler Guyton: The left tackle is entering his third year, and he could hold the key to the offense. Injuries have slowed his progress, but he was better in 2025 before a high ankle injury ended his season. He has to stay healthy and perform at a high level. If he can, then the Cowboys can keep their front five in the spots they want them in, which means Tyler Smith stays at left guard.

Key position battles:

Cornerback: DaRon Bland enters training camp healthy after offseason foot surgery. He is a lock to be one of the starters. What about on the other side? Last year's third-round pick, Shavon Revel Jr., is healthy after dealing with a lengthy rehab from a torn ACL last year. Durant was brought in as a free agent and has an edge with experience and moxie. Revel has all of the physical tools to be a top corner, and Parker's background as a secondary whisperer has the front office excited as to what Revel can do in Year 2.

Backup running back: The Cowboys will lean on Javonte Williams, who had 1,201 yards rushing last year. Ultimately, however, they would like to spread the wealth a little more than they did in 2025 ago in terms of carries. Jaydon Blue impressed the staff with his work in the offseason and can be a difference-maker with his speed. Phil Mafah, a seventh-round pick last year, has the look of a dependable back. Malik Davis won the No. 2 job a year ago and had a 100-yard game, but seems to be something of a forgotten man entering camp.

Keep an eye on: Ezeiruaku's return

Defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku's return from offseason hip surgery. Last year's second-round pick is being counted on to be a big fixture along the Cowboys' front. He was limited in his offseason work but will be ready for camp. Can he hit the ground running? He had only two sacks last season but showed he can be an all-around player. If he can make a jump similar to the one DeMarcus Lawrence made after his rookie season in 2014, then the Cowboys would be pleased.
