Jeff Cavanaugh - Trust the Tape

It's the opening day of NFL free agency and a grand total of ONE team has made zero moves. Care to guess who it is? Indeed, the Jones family is on spring break and 31 other teams have done something today. Let's talk about their plan and the options they have to get better this offseason

The Cowboys are Derrick Henry haven't been linked strongly leading up to free agency but you should probably put it on your radar. There's interest, and it's very possible. The Cowboys also have restructured the contract of Zack Martin to give themselves room to operate with the salary cap this year. Between that move, Dak Prescott, Tank Lawrence, Michael Gallup and Brandin Cooks, 2025 could be th...

Is it possible that free agent RB Tony Pollard is going to be coming back to the Cowboys? Of course it is. Let's talk about how. The Chargers have released LB Eric Kendricks who has big long ties to new DC Mike Zimmer. Should you be ready for him to make his way to Dallas? Probably. But there are a couple potential catches there. Plus how the free agency market could dictate the Cowboys draft plan...

We've got Cowboy updates flying at us from the NFL Draft combine in Indianapolis. Let's talk about what we're learning about what Mike Zimmer wants in his defensive front seven, what Will McClay thinks about the players they're scouting in those spots and about the plan for Trey Lance with Dallas this season. Also we know who the Cowboys are having their formal meetings with out in Indy and it's e...

Dallas Cowboys news of the day revolves around Mike Zimmer's contract which has been revealed to be a one year deal. Sounds like it's going to be an uncomfortable season in 2024. The idea continues to be floated by beat writers that the Cowboys also might not extend Dak Prescott this offseason, opting instead to just restructure and push some of his money back again. Let's talk about what these th...

This is my first look at a complete free agency plan for the Dallas Cowboys to get them ready to draft. They currently don't have a starter at left tackle, center or the third cornerback spot. What are we going to do about it? The depth and talent they have at linebacker and defensive tackle is definitely not enough to compete. We can fix that. I'll give you the names and contracts to do it. Runni...

We've got an article in the Dallas Morning News today from David Moore about Dak Prescott and what the Cowboys are thinking about his contract situation. It's widely assumed that Dak is going to get an extension to lower his salary cap number this year so they can be 'all in'. If that happens Dak will likely be the highest paid player in the NFL. But David Moore is bringing back up an alternative...

So I'll run you through why I'm fine with Dan Quinn leaving and the names to know for who will be the Cowboys next defensive coordinator.

Jerry Jones used the words "all in" 5 times when talking to the media at the Senior Bowl yesterday. Let's talk about exactly what he means when he says that. I have one takeaway for sure, and a few that are speculation. Jerry KNOWS that's what his fan base wants to hear about another disappointing season. The actual translation of his words? Let's work though it.

I've got a 3 pack of Dallas Cowboys content for you today. I've got my top free agent target for the Cowboys.

I got a comment on a video the other day that was a really good point about a way I've failed at trying to get the Cowboys to build their football team. What positions are the most valuable and what does it mean for how you put together a roster? Run stopping, linebackers, running backs, the 'least valuable' positions still matter. How the Cowboys offseason needs to be geared to correcting these t...

Why Jerry Jones made this decision and how it looks for Mike going in to 2024. Plus what's going to happen with Dak Prescott and Dan Quinn this offseason.
