Los ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÏÂÔØÈë¿Ú llegaron a Oxnard para iniciar su campamento de entrenamiento 2025 con altas expectativas y una fuerte presión sobre sus hombros en torno al rendimiento que se espera de ellos.

Heading into his fourth NFL season, Cowboys guard Tyler Smith is eligible for an extension and has a chance to break records for his position. That said, he's focused on controlling what he can control at camp, knowing the rest, like an extension, will come in due time.

As the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÏÂÔØÈë¿Ú walked off of the tarmac in Oxnard for their 2025 training camp, they do so with a ton of expectations, and with a lot of pressure tied to how they perform.

Don't miss any of the action with our daily updates: news, notes and more throughout the Cowboys' regular season and offseason.  

Today, we conclude this series with the biggest question of all: Will these changes that include new head coach Brian Schottenheimer help the Cowboys get back to the playoffs and compete for a championship?

As the Cowboys prepare to leave for Oxnard, California, on Sunday, Mickey Spagnola breaks down some of the big questions the team must answer before the regular seasons begins.

Right now, Jimmy Johnson is a master of the "keys." Not only is the Hall of Fame coach and recently-retired broadcaster spending his time in the Florida Keys, but he's got one key component for the Cowboys to have success in 2025.

I am SO amped to see how this season unfolds, beginning with training camp. In your minds, where does this team stack up (so far) with the 2023 team at this same point. Barring injuries, it doesn't seem like the Cowboys are far off, and that 2023 team was doing well (undefeated at home) until the end. Thoughts?

After a waiting game between 30 second round draft picks, Donovan Ezeiruaku has signed his rookie deal with the Cowboys just days before the start of training camp.

Today's question is about Dak Prescott, and what it will take for him to return to the type of season that had him as the NFL MVP runner-up just a few years ago. 

It's been a long journey for Solomon Thomas to get to playing for his hometown team in Dallas, and his story is one that's motivated by the life lessons he learned from his late sister, Ella.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer almost got through the offseason down time with no concerns, writes Mickey Spagnola in his weekly Mick Shots. Plus, remembering a true leader in Pettis Norman, Dak Prescott's ranking, a trip through the Hall of Fame and more!

I've always categorized offensive linemen as either "road graders" (great for the run game) or "dancing bears" (better for pass protection). What kind of line do we have in your opinion? I feel like the identity of the offensive line should dictate what kind of offense you have. Curious if you think this line is built better for the run or the pass.

As we get near the end of the series, let's look at Micah Parsons. There have been so many talks about his contract situation this summer but what will he do on the field? And what will it take for him to win Defensive Player of the Year. 

As the Cowboys have closed the books on the offseason program and get ready for training camp, let's take a closer look at the rookie class. Today, we focus on Shemar James.

With the Cowboys heading to training camp next week, All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons isn't fazed by not having a contract extension done like he had hoped, and is instead motivated to work harder to prove himself. 

In light of the situation with Chargers' second-round pick Tre Harris planning to hold out from training camp, do we have a similar situation looming with our unsigned second-round rookie, defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku? How detrimental would that be to both Ezeiruaku's development and the Cowboys' defensive plans? 

Today, the 20-Questions series will focus on newly-acquired receiver George Pickens and what kind of impact he could make in his first season with the Cowboys. 

As the Cowboys have closed the books on the offseason program and get ready for training camp, let's take a closer look at the rookie class. Today, we focus on Tommy Akingbesote.

Having read the articles dealing with the projected running back competition, why is Hunter Luepke being overlooked? It seems for what Brian Schottenheimer is trying to promote, Luepke fits the bill – blocking back, short-yardage threat, out-of-the-backfield receiver and a backup at the tight end position. Despite limited opportunities, he has proven he is an asset.

Today, we take a closer look at the running back position and take a guess as to who might start in Week 1. 

With the Cowboys heading to Oxnard, California for training camp on July 20, we examine five things to keep an eye on in the early goings of their time on the West coast.

As the Cowboys have closed the books on the offseason program and get ready for training camp, let's take a closer look at the rookie class. Today, we focus on Ajani Cornelius.

I was just talking with a friend about how this team needs more "dogs." You know, those players like Michael Irvin who are wired differently. Obviously, though, we can't see all the dynamics of the locker room, practice field, cafeteria, etc., so who do you see as the new top dogs on this team?

Get ready for the upcoming 2025 season with the Cowboys' official Training Camp Preview, your comprehensive source for scouting reports, position breakdowns and more.

As the Cowboys have closed the books on the offseason program and get ready for training camp, let's take a closer look at the rookie class. Today, we focus on Ajani Cornelius.

Given Jaydon Blue's elite speed, pass catching ability and illusiveness, do you see the Cowboys potentially bulking him up to make him more of an every-down running back? Or will he always be looked at as a change-of-pace guy? The Cowboys have had 5'9" backs before (Emmitt Smith), but they were considerably thicker.

Today, we'll take a look at the new culture that has been established by this new coaching staff. The biggest question is if it will actually translate to on-field success. 

After being the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys last year, Mike Zimmer appears to be reuniting with former Cowboys great Deion Sanders again at Colorado. 

As the Cowboys have closed the books on the offseason program and get ready for training camp, let's take a closer look at the rookie class. Today, we focus on Shavon Revel.

It's now obvious that waiting to re-sign top players is the modus operandi for the Cowboys. We've seen it with CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, Zack Martin, Ezekiel Elliott and now with Micah Parsons. But why? Parsons seems eager to sign. And in the end, these players get what they want anyway, and everyone seems happy. Is there any kind of advantage to dragging the process out? 

The Cowboys will call Oxnard their summer home for training camp through 2030 after signing a five-year extension.

As the Cowboys have closed the books on the offseason program and get ready for training camp, let's take a closer look at the rookie class. Today, we focus on Phil Mafah.

It seems to me that Dak Prescott struggles a bit when throwing the deep ball. I rarely remember him hitting someone in stride as they streak down the field. I feel like the majority of his deep throws (40 yards or more) either fall short, or the receiver has to make an acrobatic catch. What is your take on that?

Pettis Norman, one of the most influential players - both on and off the field - passed away this week at the age of 86. 

Today, we continue the series with a closer look at Brian Schottenheimer's offense.

Let's have a little fun on this holiday. If you were commissioner Roger Goodell and you were looking to expand the NFL, what cities do you believe would be the best fits for future franchises and why? This has been a topic of conversation within my family for many years, specifically after the relocation of the Rams and Chargers to Los Angeles. 

Today, we'll continue the 20-Question series with a focus on a pair of first-round picks in Tyler Guyton (2024) and Mazi Smith (2023) and which player needs to have a bigger leap this season.

Do you see Brian Schottenheimer dialing up the physicality at training camp? Or will he maybe take a more conservative approach? I know the days of beating the heck out of each other during camp are over, but with that said, I don't ever want to see another Camp Cupcake again. Is there a happy medium?

Today, we'll continue the series with a look into what to expect from the backup QB position.

As the Cowboys have closed the books on the offseason program and get ready for training camp in late July, let's take a closer look at some of the new players. Today, we focus on Saahdiq Charles.

In his Friday column, Mickey Spagnola gives us his annual choice for the Cowboys' Mr. Relevant. The player, or players, who need to take another step up this season for the team to find success.

My biggest question/concern is that Mazi Smith is being written off as a Day 1 bust, but he will now be dealing with his third defensive coordinator in three years with each having a different concept on the 1-tech position. Stopping the run and applying pressure to force turnovers seem right up Mazi's alley. Am I not seeing the big picture? Is another year under another coach too much to ask of Mazi? 

Today, we'll continue the series with an annual question on the player who is ready to make the biggest leap, even good enough to land his first career Pro Bowl.

People seem focused on re-signing Micah Parsons, but what about DaRon Bland, who will need a new deal in 2026, and possibly Tyler Smith? Both could command around $20 million annually. And now there's George Pickens to worry about as well. You can't keep everybody, so how do the Cowboys manage this? Who stays and who goes?

How important is a good start for the Cowboys this year? In 2024, they missed the playoffs and had a losing record. Do they need to get off to a good start to get confidence and momentum after last season's struggles? Or does the previous season have no effect on the next season?
