Cowboys have a first-round pick (unlike last year), it's sure to have some sizzle
The Cowboys' top pick, second-round defensive tackle Trysten Hill, was inactive for more games than he played (seven) and was credited by the coaches with six tackles in 121 snaps. Guard Connor McGovern, a third-round pick, missed the season with a partially torn pectoral muscle.
The Cowboys defense has not been difficult to figure the last few years, but Mike Nolan sounds like he will be introducing more. “I believe if you give yourself too much of doing one thing, that's easy for the best quarterbacks to dissect and take advantage of,” he said. “I do believe you have to have a good mix between man and zone … You don't want to create so much volume that you really don't have an identity but you have to have some kind of variety in order to be successful.

Dak Prescott decision: Cowboys have options, but clock is ticking
What is the best play for the Cowboys? Would Dallas use the franchise tag on Prescott? What are Prescott's options if he is tagged? Should Dallas consider drafting a QB?

Dak Prescott says he's 'confident' a deal is coming with Cowboys
Although the Cowboys finished 8-8 last season, missing the playoffs and ultimately costing coach Jason Garrett his job, Prescott had a career year, posting career highs in passing yards (4,902) and touchdowns passes (30).

Cowboys likely to use franchise tag on Dak Prescott as contract talks remain at impasse
With no long-term contract in sight, the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott are heading straight toward a situation in which the team will have to use its franchise tag on the star quarterback, league sources told ESPN. At this point, the franchise tag looks inevitable, according to sources, although neither side wants the tag to come into play. Dallas strongly prefers a long-term agreement, and it will continue to push to sign Prescott to an extension in the coming weeks. Prescott, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month, also wants a long-term deal. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said last month at the Senior Bowl that signing Prescott to a new deal was the franchise's No. 1 priority this offseason. Although the Cowboys finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs this past season, Prescott had a career year, posting career highs in passing yards (4,902) and touchdown passes (30).

Mike Nolan wants Cowboys defense to have 'swarming type of mentality'
Mike Nolan walks around The Star, the pictures on the walls keep stopping him. They are black and white and from some of the earliest days of the Dallas Cowboys, but he can't help but look at them. It takes him back to when he was 5 years old and his father, Dick, was a coach on Tom Landry's staff and Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith would hoist Mike on his shoulders and take him around the locker room.

Mike McCarthy's Cowboys staff blends familiar and new
For much of the past few weeks, Mike McCarthy's coaching staff has been in the get-to-know-you stage, introducing ideas on both sides of the ball that will ultimately define what the Dallas Cowboys will look like in 2020.
NFC East makeover: Coaches who will reshape the division in 2020
It's a new day in the NFC East, with lots of new coaches and hope for improved results. It's necessary after the way this once-proud division stumbled through the 2019 season a combined 16 games under .500, its worst aggregate record since becoming a four-team division in 2002.

If Jason Witten moves on, Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett know the feeling
Witten is set to be a free agent in March. He had a conversation with Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy about joining the coaching staff, but he was not offered the chance to coach tight ends. The 37-year-old tight end is the franchise leader in catches (1,215) and receiving yards (12,977) and No. 2 in touchdown receptions (72), one shy of Dez Bryant's record.

Longtime Cowboys LB Sean Lee says he'll play in 2020
While a return to the Dallas Cowboys for an 11th season is not out of the question, Lee is set to become a free agent in March. Lee, who will turn 34 in July, played in every game last season and was credited by the coaches with 109 tackles, which was second on the team.

Reports: Sean Lee To Play In 2020
Word surfaced Monday morning that Sean Lee has made a decision on his future, as he told ESPN.com he intended to come back for another year. His agent, Mike McCartney, also confirmed to NFL Network that Lee was returning, extending his NFL career into an 11th season. The question of where he will play is another matter. At the age of 33, Lee is one of the longest-tenured Cowboys on the team's roster. He was drafted No. 55 overall in the 2010 NFL Draft and has been a fixture for the Dallas defense for the past decade. Only injuries – which, regrettably, have been substantial – have kept him out of the lineup.Ironically, it was Lee's clean bill of health that helped him enjoy a bit of a resurgence last year. He started the 2019 season as the Cowboys' strong side linebacker and a backup to Leighton Vander Esch, but he stepped into a starting role when Vander Esch went down with a neck injury. Lee started 13 games, including the last nine in a row, and tallied 109 tackles with a sack and an interception.

Cowboys: Projected 2020 cap space: $74.0 million, What they need to do.
1. Lock up Dak Prescott. Quincy Carter, Anthony Wright, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner, Chad Hutchinson, Quincy Carter, Vinny Testaverde, Drew Henson and Drew Bledsoe. Those are the quarterbacks the Cowboys started between the end of Troy Aikman's run and the beginning of Tony Romo's.
2. Transition tag Amari Cooper on the way to an extension. Given how aggressively the Cowboys restructure deals, they can create plenty of cap room to retain Prescott and at least one of their other star free agents without much effort.
3. Rebuild the defensive line around DeMarcus Lawrence. Beyond re-signing their stars on offense, the Cowboys have major work to do up front on defense.
4. Sign a star defensive back. The Cowboys don't appear to have much interest in retaining cornerback Byron Jones, who is likely to get something close to top-of-the-market money in free agency
5. Find a solution at tight end. Jason Witten returned to the Cowboys after a year here at ESPN and basically re-created the season he had before retiring; he caught 63 passes on 87 targets for 560 yards and five touchdowns in 2017, then returned with 63 catches on 83 targets for 529 yards and four touchdowns last season.
