Get a load of these numbers: Trevon Diggs has allowed a 157.2 passer rating in coverage in 2025, the highest among 616 cornerbacks with at least 20 targets in a season since 2020.

A perfect passer rating is 158.3.

That's right: QBs throwing at Diggs achieve near-perfection in their rating. …

Yeah, he sucked at the end.

He coming...

#Cowboys pre-June 1 releases to watch:

Logan Wilson - opens $6.55M

Malik Hooker - opens $7M

I think Logan Wilson might get a look from hopefully a new DC
Malik is gone
I have to think they will try to move Steele off the roster any way they can

The Cowboys have a big hole in their secondary, which shouldn't be possible considering the resources spent on the defensive backfield. According to Spotrac, Dallas is the only team in the league with over $20M allocated to cornerbacks and safeties this season.

re: Steele. He had some promise but it hasnt panned out. We probably go the FA way to fix that. I don't see a #1 pick on a OT. After we get done with those two, there is a massive drop until the 4th round

Dallas CowboysEmpty heading

The Cowboys are eliminated from playoff contention, but they've come out of a pretty sideways season in good shape under Brian Schottenheimer. Through the past six months, they've dealt with football adversity (the Micah Parson summer drama) and much more serious, real-life adversity (the tragic death of Marshawn Kneeland). And where the team is after all that, and some of the less difficult on-field tumult, showed on Christmas Day.

Playing Washington was very much a spot to roll over. Dallas had been knocked out of the playoff picture the weekend before, and was traveling across the country on a short week to play on a holiday in a meaningless game, after getting beaten up pretty good by the Chargers.

The Cowboys responded with a 3023 win that was sealed with its offense grinding out a first down to put the Commanders to bed without giving them a shot to tie it at the wire.

"I think we got the right culture," Schottenheimer told me postgame. "And when you have guys like Jadeveon Clowney, you know, f---ing 12 years in the league, Dak Prescott, 10 years in the league. I mean, these guys out there putting it all on the line just shows you that the love for the game and one another is real."

Also real: Dallas is in good shape going into 2026. Dak Prescott is coming off a fantastic year ("If we're winning more games," Schottenheimer said, "he's probably in the MVP conversation). The team does have a decision to make on George Pickens, but also the prospect of bringing him back opposite CeeDee Lamb. Youthful offensive and defensive lines are impressive. Demarvion Overshown is back, and they have two first-round picks (their own and the Packers', thanks to the Parsons trade).

There's a lot to work with.

That's where i thought he might end up. He and Parsons were buddies. Betting he was in the rooting section

There goes a bunch of money for us

They actually got him off waviers. They take over the rest of his contract.

True, at low risk for sure. From ESPN:

Dak Prescott is already penciled in to start at MetLife Stadium. But others like Javonte Williams, who continues to battle with a shoulder injury, might be in doubt. Oh, and his backup, Malik Davis, is dealing with an eye injury. Jaydon Blue is being looked at for some carries.

You might look at Kenny Clarke as a FA also. His deal is over $20m next year. Not sure we can afford that. I hope we can though. Otherwise that Parson deal looks a bit worse and we have a hole next to WIlliams

That doesn't sound like a guy whose leaving.

Cowboys DT Kenny Clark was candid yesterday on what the defense needs in the offseason:

“I just think we need a bunch of dogs. A bunch of guys who truly love and care about football and not just going on the football field expecting to make plays. Going home and doing the right…

If Dallas wins today, Rams and Dolphins lose, we could drop two spots, 13 to 11. However if Dallas wins, that 8-8-1 record COULD move them all the way to 18 IF Baltimore, Carolina, Detroit, Minnesota and NY Jets lose.

I think I got that correctly

Jayden Blue looking good early

Clowney having one heck of a game

Mafah is in at RB!

Blue will never be a power runner but he has quick all over him.

He was always going to be a change of pace back.

Green Bay down 6-0 to Minihaha right before the half

In case we lose

Minn up on GB 13-0 at the half. Pack not on fire going into the playoffs. Looking better for teh GB pick

Dolpins playing after us as are the Rams
-----

If we win

Carolina is already 8-9, bad for us

Detroit comes up next vs Chi

Baltimore vs Pitt is late game tonight

Minn beating the Pack 13-0 at the half. This is a good on two factors as it lowers TWO draft choices. Come on Vikings

NY Jetts next game vs Buffalo

Phil Mafah not doing himself any help. Second penalty in sparse action

The Rams one is wrong, Brain Fart. I depends on Atlanta WINNING today, assuming we lose

Didnt realize Mafah had a "shoulder injury that kept him out all year"

Atlanta up 16-10 over NO. If NO losoes and ATL hold on, drops us one slot

Carolina will be happy.

Milton throws another INT. Not really impressed with out backup QB

Umm, wow, that's embarrassing

OMG I have NEVER seen this before 🔥🔥

Colts ran a fake punt on 4th down they converted

Next play, on 1st & 10, they left the punt team on the field!

And ran a fake punt again!

Texans had no clue what was happening and had too many men on the field

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! pic.twitter.com/WSm91nTDt0

Surprised they didnt keep doing that. You think the Texans would have adapted?

Given it's now three scores, we can nearly set the Cowboys in no worse than at draft #13. 3:30 left, ATL still up on NO, we could drop to 12. Patriots lose to Miami, that will drop us to 11. Lets hope the Pats rest all their starters

Atlanta wins, moves us down to the 12th spot. Come on New England, lose to Miami!

Minnesota beats Pack. Pack go into the playoffs on a 4 game losing streak. If they get beat in the wildcards, very good we end up with #20 also. If Tampa Bay wins their wildcard, we could get 19 as all the other teams would have a better winning percentage regardless

Giants go from tie at 1, drops to #5 with the win over Dallas.
