JOHN HANCOCK / Special to DMN
As the Cowboys celebrate 50 years in the NFL, writers of The Dallas Morning News rank the five best and five worst free-agent signings in the franchise's history.
Tom Landry moved White to linebacker his first two years in the league. That experiment never worked. Once White was moved back to the defensive tackle position he played in college, his career took off.
Rayfield Wright's career as an offensive lineman landed him in the Hall of Fame. It's an honor that would have been impossible to predict from his start.
With ESPN producing a film on the life of Vince Lombardi, it might be time to do a look at the life of Tom Landry. Which actor would you pick for the famous fedora?
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has taken a more judicious approach to free agency the last several years and has been pleased with the results, writes David Moore.
And to think, Jimmy Johnson really wanted linebacker James Francis in the first round, only to see him go to Cincinnati. So the Cowboys were stuck with the all-time rushing leader Emmitt Smith.
Greg Ellis is available with Oakland having cut the veteran defensive end/outside linebacker. While he may not be an every down player anymore, could he still help a team like the Cowboys?
The NFL draft is April 22-24, but it's never too early to start thinking what the Cowboys might be looking for in the first round. Dallas owns the No. 27 pick.
After years of getting by on minimum-wage kickers, the Cowboys splurged on Mike Vanderjagt. He seemed the right choice. The Vanderjagt who kicked for the Cowboys was a pale imitation.
Jerry Jones calls coach Wade Phillips "one of the best talent evaluators I've been around, period." So, the Cowboys will be on the lookout for "Wade" guys in free agency, writes Gerry Fraley.
If a team wants to make a run at Miles Austin in restricted free agency, they now know they would have to part with their first- and third-round picks for the Pro Bowl wide receiver.
La'Roi Glover played in all 64 games during his four seasons with the Cowboys. His decision to play for Dallas instead of the better teams that courted him was a coup.
Despite the NFL's Final Eight Plan, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is confident he can pursue free agents and that his chances to acquire them aren't compromised.
Owner-general manager Jerry Jones gave Terrell Owens the 3-year contract. The more security Owens has, the more likely he is to become a disruptive influence.
On the field, it was hard to argue with what Terrell Owens did. You cannot separate the production from the distraction when talking about his time with the Cowboys.
Let’s take a look back at last year’s draft picks that ended up making the final roster, spent the year on injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list or practice squad, writes Todd Archer.
