I think I’d like to do that. I think I’d be pretty good at it. Front Office Sports reported over the weekend “FOX Sports is targeting New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton as a candidate to succeed Troy Aikman should the former Dallas Cowboys star bolt for Amazon.

Colin Cowherd: "Sean Payton has a home in Dallas, he used to be on the Cowboys staff, has relationships there, spends a lot of time there, and Jerry Jones loves him. I think Dallas is the #1 choice. Sean Payton has three years left on his contract so the Cowboys would have to trade to get him.

Dallas Cowboys player Micah Parsons is collecting more trophies. The rookie linebacker has been named PFWA's Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year. Parsons, the 12th selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, played in and started 16 games in his rookie season.

Sean Payton’s retirement from the New Orleans Saints ignited social media speculation that he’s returning to the Dallas Cowboys.

Micah Parsons, of course, fits into the equation as well because of his versatility to play DE and LB, but overall the lack of depth at the position should be one of the Cowboys top priorities to upgrade this offseason. Linebacker With Leighton Vander Esch and Keanu Neal both free agents, Micah Parsons becomes pretty much the only LB the Cowboys can count on in 2022. As good as he was as a rookie, even he is going to need help, and there is always the defensive end question with him.

The first half Cowboys offered the promise of being at the level of one of the final four teams standing. However, the second half of the year ultimately showed the truth that Dallas just wasn’t good enough nor consistent enough for the biggest stage. That scenario played out over wild-card weekend when the Cowboys bowed out with a subpar performance against a San Francisco 49ers team that is playing their best football and will now play for a spot in Super Bowl LVI.

The Denver Broncos reportedly narrowed down their head coaching search to three finalists. Among those are front-runner and Dallas Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn, Green Bay Packers Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, and Los Angeles Rams Offensive Coordinator Kevin O’Connell. Quinn, the only candidate with previous head coaching experience, has spent one season as the Cowboys defensive coordinator.

During his weekly appearance on KRLD-FM in Dallas on Friday, Jones was asked about the contracts of two of those players – wide receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. But Jones talked about only one – Cooper – and expressed some criticism of the former Alabama All-American’s performance in 2021. The reason those contracts are being discussed is because they have two sides to them,” Jones said.

DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant and the brother of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott are currently in the middle of a little Twitter spat over Bryant writing publicly that Prescott should solicit the advice of his former teammate Tony Romo to help him be able to read defenses better. Bryant made it clear that he wasn't taking a shot at Prescott, saying that Dak earned his new contract, but that he just believes that the quarterback could be even better if he reached ou...

Prescott’s brother, Tad Prescott, took to Twitter to defend his brother, while also firing some strays in the direction of Dez Bryant and Aaron Rodgers. Tad was upset about the criticism his brother faced, firing off a comparison between Dak’s performance in the NFC Wild Card and that of Aaron Rodgers in the NFC Divisional Round. Both quarterbacks struggled in the game on their home field, yet Tad is wondering why Rodgers still gets considered as an MVP candidate while Dak struggles to be consid...
