Cowboys | Jaydon Blue will not make team Sun Aug 30, 03:34 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue was waived Sunday, Aug. 30, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Blue created buzz earlier this offseason and appeared to be line for a role as a space back to utilize his speed and playmaking ability, if not part of a committee to backup Javonte Williams. The team tried him as an early down between the tackles back in the preseason, and he was predictably devoured, looking like a poor fit for the role. Another team could take a chance on the 2025 fifth round pick, but Blue's reputation off of the field could give them pause. |
Cowboys | Dallas cuts two players Sun Aug 30, 03:29 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released Sunday, Aug. 30, according to sources. The team also waived TE Michael Trigg but plan to sign him to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
| Footballguys view: Trigg had a good preseason, showing off his receiving ability, but he wasn't impressive enough to make the Cowboys feel like he would be claimed if they tried to slip him through to the practice squad. Trigg was a draftable talent on the field, but had many questions off of the field. If there is word around the league that he is changing his ways, Trigg could get claimed. |

Cowboys | Phil Mafah let go by Dallas Sun Aug 30, 03:01 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Phil Mafah was released on Sunday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Malik Davis is the clear #2 back with both 2025 draft picks - Mafah and Jaydon Blue - released today. Davis is worth drafting in deep leagues simply because of the quality of the Cowboys offense and running game. |

Cowboys | Von Miller signs with DAL Mon Aug 17, 01:18 PM
Free-agent LB Von Miller (Commanders) signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, Aug. 17, worth $5.5 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal can be worth as much as $7.5 million with incentives.
| Footballguys view: As previously noted, Miller will join a pass-rush rotation that features Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, and potentially Sam Williams, James Houston, and Marist Liufau. Even if he's no longer able to handle an every-down role, the Cowboys believe Miller can be a difference-maker in spot duty. |

Cowboys | Von Miller signing with Dallas Mon Aug 17, 12:45 AM
Free-agent LB Von Miller (Commanders) is expected to sign with the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Miller enters his 15th season with more sacks (138.5) than any other active player. He recorded nine sacks last season for the Commanders -- his highest total since 2021, when he finished with 9.5 while splitting time with the Broncos and Rams. In Dallas, Miller will be asked to be part of a pass-rush rotation that features Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, and potentially Sam Williams, James Houston, and Marist Liufau. Miller might not be the every-down player he was with the Broncos, but the Cowboys believe he can be a difference-maker for new coordinator Christian Parker. |

Cowboys | Three-year extension for Quinnen Williams Mon Aug 10, 04:44 PM
Dallas Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Cowboys Monday, Aug. 10, worth $105.9 million.
| Footballguys view: Williams was sent to Dallas at the trade deadline last season in a deal with the New York Jets. In return, Dallas sent Mazzi Smith and a pair of draft picks away. The Jets first selected Williams with the No. 3 overall pick in 2019 out of Alabama, and he has earned four straight Pro-Bowl nods while dominating on the defensive line. He had 1.5 sacks and 21 total tackles in seven games with the Cowboys last season. |

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson impressing in camp Fri Aug 7, 01:40 PM
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson has shown a 'clear connection' with QB Dak Prescott on intermediate and seam throws during training camp, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: This might be more newsworthy if it was about a player who wasn't already fantasy relevant last season. In fact, Ferguson was the #1 tight end in fantasy leagues for a bit thanks to a spike in target volume when CeeDee Lamb was hurt. By the end of the season, Ferguson was a non-factor, so this is good news if you have been drafting him in spite of the second half swoon. |

Cowboys | Groin injury for Jaishawn Barham Fri Aug 7, 01:21 PM
Dallas Cowboys LB Jaishawn Barham (groin) suffered a groin injury Thursday, Aug. 6, but the injury is not believed to be serious, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Barham is in the same mold as #5 overall pick Arvell Reese - a defender who can rush the quarterback from the edge and also handle off-ball linebacker duties. He had been flashing in his first camp, with some observers speculating that he could push free agent signing Dee Winters for a starting job at inside linebacker. The other projected starting inside linebacker - DeMarvion Overshown - is coming back from ACL surgery, so the depth Barham could provide if the missed practice time from this injury doesn't set his development back from its strong early pace would be valuable for this defense under new coordinator Christian Parker. |

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue sought as receiver Fri Jul 31, 11:49 AM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is wanted to be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I think what we feel like we have in Jaydon when you're playing defenses that are trying to change the math and cheat to really elite receivers, which we have, there's usually a favorable matchup in that regard,' Schottenheimer said.
| Footballguys view: Blue has carried over his excellent spring and should be able to parlay that into a dedicated offensive role as a true change of pace to Javonte Williams and dangerous speed threat in space. He would share work with Phil Mafah or Malik Davis on early downs if Williams goes down, but if he pops in his limited work, he would be the more valuable back to roster if Williams goes down. Blue is moving into the draftable in the late round range of typical drafts. |

Cowboys | George Pickens produced big plays Fri Jul 17, 01:01 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens tied the franchise's single season record with five games of 125-plus receiving yards in 2025, and his 10.4 yards per target ranked second in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: While CeeDee Lamb attracts a lot of attention from defenses, Pickens broke out in 2025 with 93 catches, 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. His 10.4 yards per target ranked second in the NFL, and his 2.27 yards after first contact per possession topped all receivers with 100 or more targets. For his career, Pickens averages 16.0 yards per catch. He's currently being drafted as WR10, four spots behind Lamb. |

Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb dealt with drops Thu Jul 16, 12:40 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb's eight drops were tied for the second most in the NFL last season.
| Footballguys view: Lamb is coming off his worst statistical season since his 2020 rookie campaign. He dealt with an early-season ankle issue and never quite took off, finishing with 1,077 yards and three touchdowns. Usually an after-the-catch standout, his 322 yards after the catch were down for his standards, too. But Lamb is still a game breaker. His 571 receptions are the fifth most in the NFL since 2020 and already the third most in Cowboys history, as he passed Dez Bryant last season. Based on his WR6 ADP, fantasy investors are in on a Lamb rebound. |

Cowboys | Deadline passes for George Pickens Thu Jul 16, 12:23 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens will play on his one-year tender offer after the deadline for a long-term contract for tagged players passed Wednesday, July 15.
| Footballguys view: This was an expected conclusion after the Cowboys announced before the NFL draft in April that they did not plan to hold talks on a long-term contract with Pickens. The former Steeler has already signed his franchise tender, putting him under contract for the 2026 season. He said last month that he was prepared to play this season on that tag. Last year, his first season in Dallas, Pickens delivered the best year of his career, establishing career highs in catches (93), yards (1,429), and touchdowns (9). He's being drafted as WR10. |

Cowboys | Charles Snowden suspended three games Tue Jul 14, 04:49 PM
Dallas Cowboys DE Charles Snowden has been suspended for the first three games of the 2026 NFL season, but is eligible to participate in all preseason activities, including games. His suspension will take effect as of the roster reduction to 53 players, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday, July 14.
| Footballguys view: Last season, Snowden posted a career high in sacks with three for the Raiders in 15 games played. Snowden played in 15 games for Las Vegas, adding 28 tackles, five tackles for loss, and his first career interception. Heading into his fifth season in the NFL, Snowden is tied with James Houston and Sam Williams as the second-most experienced pass rusher on the Cowboys' roster. The Cowboys will manage without him during the suspension. |

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson tops charts at TE in Big D Mon Jul 13, 12:23 AM
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson is the unquestioned starter at tight end heading into the 2026 season, with TEs Luke Schoonmaker, DJ Rogers, Brevyn Spann-Ford and Princeton Fant battling for the primary backup job.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson is an overlooked fantasy asset. He set career highs in catches and touchdowns last season on the same number of targets as he had in 2023. In fact, Ferguson has handled a 17 percent target share each of the past three seasons, and he's coming off a 2025 campaign in which he ranked third among tight ends in receptions, touchdowns, and end-zone targets (10). He finished the season as TE4 overall, and his nine top-12 fantasy weeks tied for second-most at the position. He's being drafted as TE11 this year, which seems like a nice discount. |

Cowboys | George Pickens working out with teammates Fri Jul 10, 04:27 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens is working out with QB Dak Prescott and other offensive teammates in Utah, according to DLLS Sports' Clarence Hill Jr.
| Footballguys view: There was some early offseason concern about Pickens not playing on his franchise tag, but that doesn't appear to be an issue anymore. He was at OTAs and is practicing with teammates before training camp. Entering his age-25 season, another strong campaign could set him up for a monstrous contract in 2026. Pickens was a steady WR1 with Dallas last year, and could hopefully pick up where he left off. He's being drafted at the 2/3 turn in fantasy drafts, a fair cost given his upside. |

Link to story Cowboys | Jaydon Blue locked in and ready to go Mon Jul 6, 12:07 AM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue admitted he 'wasn't really there' in his rookie season of 2025, but he is 'ready to go now'. The former University of Texas star enters the season in a battle to be the primary backup to RB Javonte Williams. 'I didn't start off like I should have,' Blue said. 'Maybe if it was not practicing the right way or just on a maturity level, I think I wasn't really there. But just learning from all the vets, having the offseason that I've had, I think I'm ready to go.'
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys need much more from Blue in Year 2. He's the ideal complement to Williams, but his rookie season was a dud. Blue only had 129 yards and one touchdown on 38 carries in 2025. He didn't make his debut until Week 5. This year, the Cowboys believe Blue's ability as a pass catcher would make him the perfect match with Williams. What Blue could bring in the passing game would also add another element to what should again be one of the NFL's best offenses. The price is right. Blue is being drafted as RB70 outside Round 20. |
