With the schedule release tonight, a reminder on the Cowboys opponents: Home – New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons. Away – New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings
Andy Dalton is viewing the Cowboys as the start to his career's second half. Mike McCarthy's history with QBs, talent on the offense, the chance to win, plus staying close to home played a part in his decision. “I believe I'm a starter in this league, and I feel like I could bring a lot to the table,” Dalton said. “I know I'm on a one-year deal. I understand the market's going to be a little bit different next offseason. For me, I'm trying to set myself up and put myself in the best position.”
The Cowboys have agreed to a one-year deal with backup offensive tackle Cameron Erving, according to a source. The Cowboys did not pick up the 2020 option for Cameron Fleming, and he signed a free-agent deal with the New York Giants. Erving spent the last three seasons with Kansas City and started eight games for the Chiefs in 2019.
Speaking on 1310 The Ticket in Dallas, Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones likened the addition of Andy Dalton to an NFC East rival. “To have a guy like Andy Dalton come in here - not unlike what Philly had with Nick Foles when Carson Wentz went down – to be able to take control and win games, win huge games for you if that's what you need is really important,” Jones said. “Certainly you can lay your head on the pillow better at night knowing you have someone like Andy Dalton.”
