Brian at Phin Phanatic is reporting that Ferguson has been traded to Miami for a swap of 6th round picks this year and a 6th round pick next year. So, Dallas basically gets the first pick in the 6th round and a 6th rounder in 2009.
Hey, we cannot complain. Ferguson just wasn’t needed after the [...]

A reader asked me to opine on this rumor today. It’s an easy one in my opinion. Jason Ferguson, a nose tackle who injured his bicep in the first game of the 2007 season, is a good player coming off a pretty serious injury.
The Cowboys had surprising, at times amazing, play from Jay Ratliff. The [...]

In what has been a very pleasant day in Dallas Cowboys land, we now get word from Nick Eatman that offensive tackle Flozell Adams has signed a six-year deal with the team. This ensures Adams will retire as a Cowboy.
This news comes after the Cowboys decided to give Marion Barber a high tender of $2.8 [...]

Read the middle of this story and tell me why Star Telegram reporter Clarence E. Hill Jr. doesn’t owe all of us die-hard Dallas Cowboys fans an apology. Here, let me pull out the problematic statement he makes as fact in his article that ran on Feb. 27.

Running back Marion Barber
Contrary to earlier [...]

The Star Telegram is a horrible newspaper. I mean what the hell! They report that Marion Barber will get a first round tender, scare all of us half to death, and it’s bull shit?
Yeah, to say I am mad is saying it lightly. And they are supposed to be the “media” that reports facts. I [...]

OK, folks, this makes no sense. The Dallas Cowboys will give Marion Barber a first-round tender for $2.017 million. This means if Barber gets an offer the Cowboys cannot match, the Cowboys gets a 1st round draft pick.
But for only $500,000 more, the Cowboys could have gotten a 1st and 3rd round pick for Barber [...]

When I say “The Day” I mean free agency starts if players, whether restricted or unrestricted, are tendered or signed. We have Flozell Adams, Marion Barber, Chris Canty, Keith Davis are among some of the Dallas Cowboys who may not be on the team this season.
There is absolutely no word about Marion Barber’s future. We [...]

Safety Keith Davis will test free agency instead of seeking a contract with the Dallas Cowboys.
Davis told a PR firm that he would like to continue playing in Dallas, but he wants to see what offers he gets from other teams. He has played five seasons in Dallas and has performed best as a special [...]

It was late at night when I saw a quick piece on ESPN in which Jerry Jones was pressed on the Darren McFadden scandal. I call it a scandal because many rumors have Jones considering trading away our Barbarian running back Marion Barber. I think there is a minority of fans that support trading Barber. [...]

Team
1st Round
1. Miami Dolphins -Chris Long, DE, Virginia
Hey, I know about the rumors that the Dolphins want to get rid of this pick, and I am well aware that the Cowboys are invoked as the taker more than any other team. But I can fight it. I will fight it. Glenn Dorsey’s stock has [...]
