McCarthy stated, 'He just needed a reset for his family, frankly I had just went through the same thing in '19. I thought it was really good for him, personally, really good for his family, and look what it did. It springboarded him right back in as an offensive coordinator.'

The last 11 Super Bowl champions finished with an average scoring-defense rank of 5.3. Recent winners fit that pattern too, highlighting the importance of defense in championship success.

Jordan has been one of the hottest names in the personal coaching world for the past decade-plus. He founded Trench Performance, a private company specializing in training defensive linemen. Through Trench Performance, Jordan has worked with a long list of current NFL players that includes Micah Parsons, Maxx Crosby, Von Miller, Myles Garrett, Abdul Carter, Nolan Smith, and Danielle Hunter.

Running back is where people might think Dallas spends, but as true fans, we know better. Over five years, the Cowboys spent about $13 million at the position, and that includes returns, depth backs, and one-year flyers. Ezekiel Elliot, Ronald Jones, Corey Clement, Rico Dowdle, and Javonte Williams. None of these deals were meant to define the offense, they were meant to fill touches.

The National Football League Alumni Association (NFL Alumni) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Cancer Prevention and Control have expanded the "GEAR UP Against Cancer" campaign to Dallas and several other markets across the country. The initiative aims to increase public awareness of lung cancer's impact, emphasize the importance of regular screenings for adults at high risk for developing lung cancer, and create a deeper understanding of the unique needs of cancer survivors.

Shortly after his playing career ended, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo followed Troy Aikman into the television booth in 2017. At first, Romo drew high praise for his work alongside Jim Nantz. Especially when he started accurately calling what the offenses were going to run. As good as his playing career was, even though his postseason record was less than great, Romo seemed to have found his calling.

This is Witten's first foray into the collegiate coaching ranks, but he has a Texas state championship under his belt at the high school level so he has succeeded where he has been so far, and it stands to reason that will continue. It goes without saying that Witten and Murray being on the same team once again is cool and tugs at our nostalgia, sorry if you are an Oklahoma State or University of Texas fan, though.

The playoffs start this weekend, and while the Cowboys didn't make the tournament this season, a number of former Cowboys are playing for playoff teams this weekend.

The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl LX champions, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 to cap off a dominating playoff run that ended with them hoisting the Lombardi trophy for the second time in franchise history - and in familiar fashion. It was the Seahawks "Legion of Boom" defense that won Super Bowl XLVIII with a 43-8 rout of the Denver Broncos, and while the 2025 Seahawks defense doesn't have quite as cool of a nickname, they were equally impressive.

While the majority of stories all week will be related to those two teams, reality is that this week brings with it a ton of NFL-wide stories. Players, coaches, and all sorts of league figures do tons of media appearances across Radio Row and Super Bowl coverage at large. It stands to reason that one of the more visible members of the Dallas Cowboys will say something interesting.

Kamara production didn't come out of nowhere one season. He has been consistent at both of the stops in his college football career. As a redshirt sophomore at James Madison in 2023, he put together a season where he had 53 total tackles, 18.5 tackles for a loss, and 7.5 sacks, while forcing four fumbles along the way. He was a defender living in the backfield. After that season, he followed head coach Curt Cignetti to Indiana through the transfer portal. Even then, nobody was rushing to get him. He entered the portal ranked 997th and 99th among defensive lineman.
