Kevin Gray sits down with Voch Lombardi for a deep dive into the biggest questions surrounding the Dallas Cowboys heading into the 2026 season. Is this the best Cowboys roster we've seen in years?

Are the Dallas Cowboys finally doing things differently?

Kevin Gray is joined by The Athletic's David Helman to break down the state of the Cowboys heading into the 2026 season.

Helman explains why he believes the Cowboys deserve credit for changing the way they operate, from moving on from Micah Parsons to hiring Christian Parker, bringing in Quinnen Williams and changing the coaching structure under Brian Schottenheimer.

But is it enough?

David breaks down the Cowboys' revamped defense, Caleb Downs, Christian Parker, Quinnen Williams, Von Miller and the biggest remaining concerns at linebacker and cornerback.

He also explains why the Cowboys could have a TOP 5 offense with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens — and why he believes Dak has finally earned widespread respect as a quarterback capable of leading a team to a championship.

Plus, Helman gives his thoughts on George Pickens' contract situation, the Cowboys' chances of winning the NFC East, Jerry Jones and the pressure surrounding this team, and what would actually make 2026 a successful season in Dallas.

The Cowboys have some BIG roster decisions to make after Preseason Game 2.

Jeff Cavanaugh and Kevin Gray break down the latest Cowboys roster battles, including the impressive debut from rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham and what his performance could mean for Dallas' defense.

They also dive into the complicated wide receiver decision involving Camden Brown and Jonathan Mingo, including whether the Cowboys can afford to keep both players on the 53-man roster — and why Brown could be claimed if Dallas puts him on waivers.

Plus, Jeff and Kevin discuss Malik Davis' strong performance, the running back competition, the Cowboys' lack of depth at cornerback, offensive line concerns and which positions could force Dallas to look outside the organization before Week 1.

Cowboys vs. Cardinals preseason Game 2 is a HUGE opportunity for players fighting to make the 53-man roster.

Jeff Cavanaugh and Jesse Holley break down the biggest roster battles to watch when the Cowboys take on the Cardinals, including the competition at wide receiver, running back and cornerback.

Camden Brown is one of the hottest names coming out of the first preseason game, but Jeff and Jesse explain why he's still far from a lock and why Jonathan Mingo remains very much in the conversation.

They also discuss Malik Davis, Jaden Blue, Israel Abanikanda and the crowded competition at cornerback, where several players are battling for just a few roster spots.

Plus, Jeff and Jesse explain why Cowboys coaches could be evaluating players around the league as roster cuts approach — and why making the initial 53-man roster doesn't necessarily mean a player is safe.

Who needs to make the biggest statement against Arizona?
