Locked On Cowboys - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys face a pivotal offseason decision: Is Trey Hendrickson the answer to their pass rush woes, or a risky luxury? With the Cincinnati Bengals letting Hendrickson walk, questions swirl about his fit in Dallas, given his elite sack production, but concerns over age, injury history, and run defense. Should the Cowboys break the bank for Hendrickson, or focus on bolstering depth across their battered defensive roster?

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool dissect Hendrickson’s recent Defensive Player of the Year-caliber performance, weigh his $25 million price tag, and compare his impact to other free agent options like Max Crosby and Joey Bosa. Key topics include Dallas' need for new defensive starters, free agency strategy, and the balance between star power and roster depth. Will the Cowboys prioritize splashy moves or smarter spending to rebuild for the 2026 season?

The Dallas Cowboys face a major draft dilemma: can they afford to take explosive Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love at pick 12, despite his elite talent? Despite Love potentially being the top offensive prospect of the 2026 NFL Draft, positional value concerns and overwhelming defensive needs make this a risky move for Dallas. 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool debate the value of running backs in the first round, examine the Cowboys’ roster construction, and break down recent contracts—like Javonte Williams’ deal—and looming decisions at key positions. 

With holes across the defense and no second- or third-round picks, the hosts argue that Dallas must prioritize shoring up edge rusher, linebacker, and cornerback before considering another premium resource at running back. Is Jeremiyah Love still too tempting to pass up, or will the Cowboys play it smart and target their biggest weaknesses?

Caleb Downs' draft stock faces a major shakeup after reports of a torn meniscus and potential degenerative ACL, sparking speculation that the Dallas Cowboys could land the Ohio State safety at pick #12. Can the Cowboys afford to risk another injury-prone star, given Jerry Jones' aversion to "project players"? 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down the medical red flags, shifting consensus boards, and how Downs' situation—mirroring cases like Caleb Farley and Malachi Starks—might reshape Dallas' draft priorities.

Jermod McCoy’s status also comes under fire, with injury setbacks possibly removing him from Dallas’ first-round board and narrowing cornerback options to Avieon Terrell and Mansoor Delane. The hosts discuss free-agent alternatives like Alontae Taylor, the critical need at edge rusher after Donovan Ezeriuaku's hip surgery, and the ripple effects for the defense. Will injuries derail Dallas' draft plans, or can smart strategy and timely signings keep their playoff hopes alive?

Dallas Cowboys navigate NFL Combine uncertainty as top prospects skip drills and test agents’ new strategies. Could recent shifts in participation redefine draft stock? 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool spotlight rising names like Kenyon Sadiq, Monroe Freeling, and Caleb Banks, and examine the ripple effects on Cowboys’ first-round targets.

Insightful breakdowns include safety standouts Thieneman and McNeil Warren, the threat of slipping stars like Caleb Downs, and whether taking risks on uncertain prospects pays off for the Cowboys.
