With free agency opening Friday, The Dallas Morning News' Cowboys writers look at the five best and worst free agent signings by the Dallas Cowboys since 1993 when unrestricted free agency began. No. 5 best: Terrell Owens The deal: Three-year, $25 million, $5 million signing bonus Reason he was a good signing: Production ... but if it was only that simple. After he was released by Philadelphia after playing only seven games in 2005 following...
DeMarcus Ware and Shawne Merriman will be forever linked because of the 2005 draft. Ware went to the Cowboys with the 11th overall pick. Merriman went next to San Diego. While Merriman got out to the faster start, Ware has been the better player. There is no debate about that. And look at how the teams have handled their star outside linebackers. The Cowboys signed Ware to a six-year, $87 million deal with $41 million...
Jeff Pearlman of SI.com writes why Charles Haley should be in the Hall of Fame and blames Haley's bipolar disorder as one of the reasons why he did not get elected last month. Some highlights of his column: "Is Charles Haley one of the elite defensive ends of all time? Undoubtedly. Is he the man who made the difference between the good-yet-jewelry-deprived Cowboys of Aikman-Emmitt-Irvin and the brilliant-and-ring-adorned Cowboys of Aikman-Emmitt-Irvin? Undoubtedly. Most importantly, is...
Jerry Jones promises change for the Cowboys in 2010. He said there will be 10 or 11 new faces on hand and that he wants his players "nervous," as in worried about their jobs. Couple of points here: Why only 10 or 11 new faces? Make it more. The Cowboys have six draft picks and with some trades might be able to add selections. In free agency, they are limited some by the "final eight...
Our earlier post about the little joke New Orleans coach Sean Payton played on the Cowboys and Jerry Jones is a good one. Jones will get him back. But I don't think he was upset. How do I know this? Well, let's just say Jones and Payton were spotted at another establishment in Indianapolis later that evening. The two were talking and laughing and a sharing a drink with other Cowboys staffers. It was not...
Sports Illustrated's Peter King had a funny anecdote from the NFL Scouting Combine in his Monday Morning Quarterback column, featuring Jerry Jones and Sean Payton. It seems Jones wanted St. Elmo Steakhouse to reserve a bottle of his favorite wine, Caymus Special Selection cabernet sauvignon, for the team's annual dinner at the fine establishment. Payton and the Saints had a dinner there the previous night and wanted the same wine. They won out. Click here...
Interesting that the NFL is considering a change in the overtime format after Brett Favre lost a playoff game in which his team (Minnesota) did not get the ball in the extra time. Anything for Favre, it seems. The Dallas Cowboys have benefitted from more than being hurt by the current first-score-wins arrangement. In the last 20 seasons, the Cowboys are 8-9 in overtime games, but the opponent had the first at-bat and scored in...
With free agency set to begin at 11:01 p.m. Thursday, we will take a look at the five best and five worst free agent signings in Cowboys' history. And since unrestricted free agency did not start until 1993, we mean 1993. Later today we'll have the fifth-best and fifth-worst signings, according to our crew, which means we will have missed something and you guys will call us out on out. The countdown will continue until...
Jerry Jones sees a need for "obvious improvement'' in the offensive line heading into next season. When asked about left tackle Flozell Adams, the Cowboys owner paused for 14 seconds before he formed an answer. "If we could have a season like that out of him (again) this year, it would be great,'' Jones said. "I was very pleased with his season. "But certainly, that's the question mark. That's when you have decisions to make...

All of those Tashard Choice for Antonio Cromartie trade scenarios could be moot pretty soon. The Detroit Free-Press is reporting that the Lions are speaking to the Chargers about a deal to acquire the San Diego cornerback....
Jerry Jones expects to see 10 or 11 new faces in a contributing role in 2010. When asked if the changes he mentioned could impact Roy Williams' role as a starting wide receiver, the Cowboys owner answered with, "a big no. "I'm optimistic about Roy Williams,'' Jones continued. "We've got to do some things to help Roy, to help his game. We've got to do some things with the way we get him the ball...
Did anyone truly believe the only reason Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dropped in on the Winter Olympics was to watch the Flying Tomato win the halfpipe? Jones was asked Sunday if his recent excursion to Vancouver was a scouting trip to prepare a future bid for the Summer Olympics that would be staged around the Metroplex and at Cowboys Stadium. "Hey, I'll tell you what,'' Jones said. "Truthfully, we are looking at possibly doing one...
Jerry Jones wants everyone to know he's not comfortable. The Cowboys owner doesn't view last season as a rousing success. He sees a team that should have advanced deeper than it did in the playoffs given it had so few injuries. He sees a team that lost 34-3 to Minnesota in the second round. Remember how fingers were being pointed after the Cowboys ended the 2008 season with a 44-6 loss to Philadelphia? "I want...
Adam "Pacman" Jones will work out for NFL scouts March 19, a source told NFL.com. The cornerback will hold a pro day-style workout in New Orleans following Tulane's pro day. Jones, a 2005 first-round draft pick by the Tennessee Titans, recently worked out for the Cincinnati Bengals and generated interest from that team, according to the source. Jones was not picked up for the 2009 season after being released by the Cowboys on Feb. 9,... |
