The Cowboys' offseason is long, let's not rush into it... Malik Hooker was the Colts’ first-round pick in 2017, even after being unable to participate in combine drills due to recovery from injury. The Ohio State product was nonetheless ranked the second-best safety of that draft class behind only Jamal Adams. In 35 games as a pro, Hooker has been in on 121 tackles, intercepted seven passes, and recovered two fumbles. He missed the majority of last season with a torn Achilles tendon.

👀 Nick Ralston The Dallas Cowboys Fullback Pulling 18 Wheelers!!!
One of the first things I saw when watching Ralston is how much he loves to block. There were many instances of him peeling off to take on a defensive end setting an edge and not just moving him, but blowing the end back or onto the ground. Unafraid to take on the bigger players, Ralston as a lead blocker is violent and in one instance took on two defenders at once and won. He will shed his first block and look for another block to make to seal off lanes. He has soft hands in the passing game which gives him some viability at tight end and in the passing game out of the backfield. In short-yardage situations, Ralston gets low and gains tough yards, both for first downs and at the goal line. He also plays special teams and gets downfield faster than his 40 time would make one think and looks to blow up blockers and returners alike.

Dallas Cowboys declining fifth-year option on LB Leighton Vander Esch + Others on NOTICE
FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys will not pick up Leighton Vander Esch's fifth-year option for 2022, according to his agent, Ron Slavin, which will make the 2018 first-round pick an unrestricted free agent after the upcoming season. Vander Esch's injury history is the biggest reason. He missed 13 games over the past two seasons, starting with a neck injury that required surgery in 2019 and cost him seven games. He missed six games in 2020 because of a broken collarbone. If the Cowboys had picked up the option, the $9.1 million would have been fully guaranteed. Before officially deciding to decline the option, executive vice president Stephen Jones said during draft weekend that the team would still like to keep Vander Esch beyond 2021 if they did not add the fifth year, but it will depend on how he plays. Vander Esch's best season came as a rookie, when he was named to the Pro Bowl after the Cowboys selected him No. 19 overall. He had a franchise-rookie-record 176 tackles in 2018

T.J. Vasher signs undrafted free agent deal with the Dallas Cowboys + MORE | UDFA
DALLAS — Texas Tech wide receiver T.J. Vasher signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Dallas Cowboys, his agency told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero Saturday.

FRISCO, Texas – A full breakdown of the Cowboys' fourth-round draft pick (No. 115 overall) Saturday: Name: Jabril Cox Position: Linebacker College: LSU Height/Weight: 6-3/230 The Rundown: Based on pre-draft projections, Cox might prove to be a steal in the fourth round. Many observers had him ranked as early as the second round. A graduate transfer from North Dakota State to LSU last year, Cox's lone season with the Tigers was quite productive. He finished third on defense with 58 tackles (6.5 for loss) and 3 interceptions in just 10 games. Prior to LSU, Cox helped lead North Dakota State to three FCS national titles. How He Fits In: The Cowboys began the week in need of linebacker depth, now they've added two of the nation's top prospects at the position: Cox and first-round pick Micah Parsons. The Cowboys believe Parsons can play all three linebacker spots and possibly help as an edge rusher. Cox has versatility, too, having thrived in a multiple scheme at LSU. His 8 pass breakups

Best defensive player This is the one the Cowboys are really hanging their hat on. It wasn’t universal, but a broad consensus of analysts had Parsons as the best defensive player in this draft. The Cowboys brass said they had Parsons graded as the top defensive player ahead of both corners. If you want your football team to somewhat stick to the “best player available” theory, and given the Cowboys desperate need for an improved defense, then this seems like a reasonable pick.

Texas -- Having seen their top choices at cornerback go at picks Nos. 8 and 9, the Dallas Cowboys traded the 10th pick within the NFC East to the Philadelphia Eagles and selected Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons at No. 12 in the NFL draft. Dallas also received a third-round pick, No. 84 overall, from the Eagles, who used the No. 10 pick on Alabama receiver DeVonta Smith, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.

The Cowboys and Patriots could make a move on draft day, but it most likely won't be for Stephon Gilmore. They could, however, have their eyes on the 15th pick and JC Jackson, who had 9 interceptions in 2020.
Read full storyAre The Dallas Cowboys Targeting Jaycee Horn Over Patrick Surtain?
Horn finished with 16 tackles, six pass breakups, and two interceptions in seven games with the Gamecocks in 2020. In 13 appearances with the Crimson Tide, Surtain posted 38 tackles, 12 pass breakups, and one interception. Surtain (No. 16) ranks higher than Horn (No. 21) on the B/R NFL Scouting Department's final big board, and the difference in their overall grades is marginal. Both are considered good enough to become immediate starters at the next level. If someone like Florida tight end Kyle Pitts unexpectedly falls to No. 10, then the Cowboys should consider drafting the best player available. If the first round plays out as expected, then Horn or Surtain would be the obvious choice. Dallas allowed 227.6 passing yards per game and ranked 26th in opponent passer rating (100.4) last year. The draft presents the front office with a cost-effective way to upgrade at cornerback ahead of the regular season

Dallas Cowboys Can Rashawn Slater Play Guard? Upgrade over Connor Williams???
The staff of DallasCowboys.com has tried to narrow down a few names that could be targeted for Dallas, either with the current pick or perhaps a trade. Today's featured player is Northwestern offensive tackle, Rashawn Slater. Name: Rashawn Slater Position: Offensive Tackle College: Northwestern Height/Weight: 6-4/315 Did You Know? His father, Reginald, played in the NBA for eight seasons with the Raptors, Nuggets, and Timberwolves. Where He's Projected: Slater has been pretty routinely ranked as the number two offensive tackle in the draft behind Penei Sewell. Assuming that sentiment is shared by NFL front offices, where Slater is drafted may very well be affected by where Sewell is drafted. If the Bengals decide to take Sewell with the No. 5 pick then Slater will go to the next team that wants to prioritize the long-term future of their offensive line and protect their quarterback. That boils down to him probably being drafted anywhere from the No. 6 pick to about the No. 13 pick.

✭ Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Sean Lee Announces Retirement | Michael Gallup Trade Rumors
Sean Lee retired Monday after the linebacker spent all of his 11 mostly injury-plagued seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. The 34-year-old said in a letter released by the club that it was "my time to walk away." Lee is eighth in team history with 995 tackles. A second-round pick out of Penn State in 2010, Lee led all NFL linebackers in interceptions through his first six seasons with 12, despite missing all of 2014 after tearing a knee ligament in the first offseason practice. Lee is fourth among Dallas linebackers with 14 interceptions and holds the club record for tackles in a game with 22 against the New York Giants in 2016, his only All-Pro season. Injuries ending up defining Lee's career. He missed the final 10 games of 2012 with a toe injury and five of the final six games the next year with hamstring and neck issues before the season-ending knee injury in the 2014 offseason. Could the Cowboys use Michael Gallup to trade up in the draft?
