Let’s start at the top. Jerry and Avon are similar in a ton of ways. First off, they are both straight gangsters in their own right. Jerry bought the team and then immediately fired the only coach the Cowboys had ever known in Tom Landry. Landry is a legend and a personal hero of mine, but you have to admit that takes balls.

The Dallas Cowboys’ approach to this offseason has been no secret. They have searched for bargains in the open market, adding youthful and athletic players with presumably high upsides but very little production to this point in their professional careers. Defensive End Benson Mayowa fits this blueprint to a “T.” The former Seattle Seahawk, but more recently former Oakland Raider, joined the Cowboys after the Raiders failed to match the Cowboys’ offer sheet to Mayowa during free agency. The questions surrounding the Cowboys’ pass rush and defensive end situation are clear, but the addition of Mayowa seemed to not mean much for the immediate future at first.

This weekend, ESPN released there offseason grades for all 32 NFL teams. The Dallas Cowboys ranked last in the NFC East and 25th in the entire league with a “C” grade. As I have said before, you have to take everything you see on media outlets such as ESPN and NFL Network with a grain of salt. These people are apart of the national media, and are the same people who left the Oakland Raiders off of the “top offensive lines” list while including the Green Bay Packers. Yeah, that was bad on NFL Network’s part.

The Super Bowl has become the single biggest sporting, entertainment, and social event on planet Earth. Each year millions of people huddle around their televisions, or maybe just attend the party, to witness the grandest stage the NFL has to offer. Because of this, it comes with no surprise that cities and franchises bid inconceivable amounts of money for the right to host the Super Bowl in their own stadium. This past week, the league announced the three lucky (or unlucky if you live there and hate traffic) cities which will be hosting the Super Bowl through 2021. Houston and Minneapolis were confirmed for the next two seasons, while Atlanta, South Beach, and Los Angeles won the bidding war and the right to host a Super Bowl as well.

As fans, we love to read, watch, tweet, analyze, and do anything we can to get our hands on any possible information about the Dallas Cowboys. We stream the Cowboys’ war room on draft night, we travel to or watch training camp online, and we salivate over the insight which those close to the organization provide us about events as trivial as OTA’s. OTA’s are interesting to me. There are no pads, there is limited contact, and the main goal of the practice time is to keep everyone upright and healthy for when actual football is ready to be played. With all that being said, I refuse to believe any time the team is together and lining up as an offense or defense is meaningless.

OTA’s are finally getting started this week which means that position battles and fights for roster spots are about to kick off. Of course, the real battles won’t be decided until Training Camp opens up in late July and the team has a chance to evaluate the players while they play actual football. For a few Cowboys veterans, however, the battles have already begun. Last week, I discussed the ever fading chances for Darren McFadden to make this roster and have an impact in 2016. McFadden is going to have to compete with the 4th overall pick in this years draft, a new free agent addition who is clearly the better scheme fit, and now another 6th round pick who seems to have all the youth, athleticism, and breakaway speed which McFadden lacks.

Normally, I caution all Cowboys fans to take a national media outlet’s rankings or analysis with a grain of salt. The same is true with NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks’ list of the top 10 teams with the most talent on their roster. Rounding out his list, as the number 10 most talented team according to Brooks, are our Dallas Cowboys. Despite a 4-12 season a year ago, Brooks is on board with most of Cowboys Nation’s optimism about the current roster.

Dallas Cowboys fans go through a lot of trends over time. For a while, there was a loud crowd which yelled for Tony Romo’s head and wanted for the team to start over and rebuild, beginning with a change at the quarterback position. Then came the “Jason Garrett claps too much” crowd, who criticized Garrett’s robotics on the sideline and during post-game pressers. This offseason, however, has seen an incredible rise in the “I hate Terrance Williams” fan club. It makes sense.

The Dallas Cowboys 2nd round selection of Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith left most in complete and utter shock. After being regarded as a potential top 5 pick in the 2016 NFL draft for most of his final collegiate season, Smith tore both the ACL and LCL in his knee during the Fiesta Bowl last New Years Day. It was a heartbreaking scene. One that could have brought even the most sworn hater of the Fighting Irish to sadness. But while tearing those ligaments presented Smith with a long enough recovery, it is the nerve damage in that same leg which is creating the biggest obstacle.

The Dallas Cowboys’ offseason moves haven’t exactly displayed much faith in running back Darren McFadden. After signing former Washington Redskins back Alfred Morris during free agency, the Cowboys then used their number four overall pick to select Ohio State’s workhorse, Ezekiel Elliott. To make matters worse for McFadden, the Cowboys added yet another running back in the sixth round when they drafted Eastern Michigan’s Darius Jackson. There’s no way McFadden is loving his chances to be a Cowboy come September at this point. However, I do believe there is hope for the NFL’s fourth leading rusher from a season ago.
