This past weekend’s rookie minicamp was just the first step for a slew of Cowboys hopefuls. But one undrafted free agent has already reached the end of the road, as offensive lineman Sidney Fugar became the team’s first cut of the 2026 offseason. The constant churn of life in the NFL indeed goes on, with edge rusher Dante Fowler also finding a new football home on Tuesday, and an ex-Eagle could be looking to land in Dallas and reunite with a former assistant.
Also Tuesday, Stephen Jones took to the airwaves and reiterated the front office’s position on franchise-tagged wide receiver George Pickens, suggesting that clubs hoping to work up a post-draft trade proposal should save themselves the trouble. But Jones didn’t waste a chance to once again insist that the Cowboys won the Micah Parsons deal, more than eight months after the fact.
The rest of today’s headlines feature three numbers you should keep in mind as they pertain to Dak Prescott’s upcoming season, and could Dallas still pull off a trade to get Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks? One well-respected voice within Cowboys Nation says yes.
We take a trip around the NFC East today, too, checking in on the Giants’ two new interior defensive linemen they hope will soften the blow of losing Dexter Lawrence. The Eagles are extending their notorious head of sideline security, and Cooper DeJean makes a Derby appearance with his DCC girlfriend. And in Washington, the Sonny Styles pick was actually years in the making… and new safety Nick Cross reveals all the considerations that went into choosing jersey number, including mocking up options with artificial intelligence.
Around the rest of the league, a jury needed just two hours to declare Stefon Diggs not guilty in his criminal trial, Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor is recuperating at home with pancreatitis, the replacement-referee stalemate may be avoided after all as a vote is called for, and former defensive end Marcellus Wiley hits back against multiple accusations of sexual assault… including one that allegedly occurred during his year with the Cowboys.
