    AUG 19 2 MOVES The Cowboys on Monday morning officially signed vet free agent defensive end Carl Lawson and to make room for him moved backup tackle Earl Bostick to the injured reserve

    AUG 15 DAVIS CUT The Dallas Cowboys are cutting 10-year veteran defensive tackle Carl Davis as part of the shuffle to make room for the last-24-hour acquisitions of Carl Lawson and Jordan Phillips.

    One more move will also be made to fit the two newcomers into the 90-man roster.

    Phillips was acquired late Wednesday via trade with the Giants, while Lawson was signed as a free agent after having three years ago signed a $15 million APY deal with the Jets.

    AUG 12 BEN TO BILLS The Bills have an injury issue at quarterback behind Josh Allen with Shane Buechele injured .. and it appears old friend Ben DiNucci is going to get a crack at helping the AFC East club.

    DiNucci was a 2020 seventh-round pick by the Cowboys and a project of coach Mike McCarthy that never quite worked out. He played in three games during his rookie season, his only three regular-season appearances during his career, which saw him on the Broncos practice squad last year.

    Mitch Trubisky is the other healthy QB on the depth chart in Buffalo.

    AUG 6 CONNOR SIGNS Former Cowboys offensive lineman Connor Williams - who has been dealing with a devastating knee injury during his time in Miami - is signing on in Seattle.

    The Seahawks are signing Williams to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million.

    Williams, a Coppell native, was a second-round pick out of Texas who began his NFL career in 2018 and became an almost-immediate starter.

    In 2022, Williams agreed to a two-year, $14 million contract with the Dolphins, where he moved from guard to center ... but then, after starting in nine games last season, Williams suffered an ACL tear in Week 14.

    There was some thought he might give up a comeback. This deal tells another story.

    MAY 19 CTE "I can virtually guarantee that I have CTE,'' Jason Kelce wrote on social media recently, the retired Philadelphia Eagles standout like always telling it like it is. "All the research would suggest I have some degree of it. I think it is entirely reasonable to assume I have some degree of that pathology.''

    Kelce waged "football war'' against the Dallas Cowboys for a football lifetime, and he may be right; he may pay a price. Read more on the story here ... with the hope that his openness might be of benefit to the generation of players coming up behind him,

    MAY 12 ERIN'S PHOTO We wish a Happy Mother's Day to Erin Andrews and moms everywhere. But we are a bit taken by the Fox reporter's choice of Mom's Day cards, in a sense, that she sent out this weekend.

    The veteran NFL sideline reporter recently welcomed her first child as Erin and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, are proud parents of a baby boy.

    And to celebrate? Andrews - to promote her clothing line, of course - posed for a notable pic with the New York Post, wearing a sweater and a smile ...

    And little else. Happy Mother's Day, Erin!

    MAY 7 ABSOLUTELY! Stephen Jones just popped up on Mad Dog Radio to endorse the idea of Dak Prescott and whether he can lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl,

    Stephen's full answer, in two big bites ...

    “Absolutely. I totally think Dak can lead us to a championship. He does everything the right way. He’s certainly the leader of this football team. He keeps everybody motivated in the offseason. He’s got everybody working out and doing all the things that it takes to put in the work to give yourself every opportunity to win a championship. ...

    "It just so happens that sometimes that old oblong football doesn’t bounce your way. And we’ve had some tough breaks and tough games there in the postseason. But we’ve won 12 games three years in a row. I think that’s right at the top in terms of what teams have done over a three-year period. And we’re hanging around the rim. We’ve just gotta go up there and grab it, to use a basketball term, and dunk it in. We’re hanging around the rim. We just got to get the job done.”

    No Contract Talks for Dak & Lamb; When's 'Passive' Become 'Trouble'?

    There's lots of truth in there. ... and one inconsistency: If a team believes its soon-to-be-free-agent QB is Super Bowl-caliber ... why wouldn't it find a way to pay him and to keep him?

    MAY 1 NO SALE, BUT ... Are the Dallas Cowboys really worth $10 billion if they were ever to be sold?

    A Miami Dolphins rumor seems to proves Jerry Jones right.

    No, Jerry isn't selling the Cowboys. Ever. (Even though some in Cowboys Nation, frustrated by the lack of Super Bowls in the last 30 years, have other wishes.)

    But if he did? Would they really be worth $10 billion?

    An offer has been made to Stephen Ross for his Dolphins. He's turned it down. The magic number is ... $10 billion. And we explain here why, as with Jerry and his Cowboys ... we get it.
