Former Dallas Cowboys defense end DeMarcus Lawrence needed just two words to convince former teammate Dante Fowler to sign in Seattle. The pair will face their former team sometime during the regular season, the exact date will be announced later this week. With 2026 games set to be revealed, the Cowboys will attempt to win their fifth-straight Thanksgiving Day game.
If Dallas intends to keep their streak alive and are destined to have a successful 2026 campaign, the impact of third-round rookie Jaishawn Barham will go a long way towards turning around a porous defense. Despite their flurry of defensive moves, a recent offseason report card gave Dallas the lowest grade among their divisional rivals — a concerning matter considering the major defensive makeover is now complete according to a Dallas insider.
The offense on the other hand has received very little attention this offseason which has now put into questions the depth at the skill positions. That correlates well with a recent 53-man roster projection that takes aim at the offensive side of the ball. One person Dallas won’t have to worry about is guard Tyler Booker who seems destined for a breakout season. One person the Cowboys do have to worry about is Eagles QB Jalen Hurts who received high praise from Cowboys Hall-of-Fame QB Troy Aikman.
The NFL continues to leak upcoming games and the latest round highlights a heavyweight AFC matchup between the Broncos who will travel to Kansas City to cap Week 1 on Monday Night Football. Two playoff hopefuls in Cincinnati and Atlanta will face off against each other in Madrid, Spain in the NFL’s continuing effort to expand the game. Also, as team media groups continue to get creative in revealing their schedules, the NFL does not require pre-approval for any videos clubs come up with.
