Mike MoraitisNov 13, 2026
Moraitis named four Cowboys as the team's biggest disappointments halfway through 2026, and forecast that DeMarvion Overshown's time in Dallas is ending, with a short prove-it contract rather than the long-term deal sought ahead of 2027 free agency. Moraitis also suggested Jake Ferguson is tracking toward barely clearing 200 receiving yards after 600 in 2025.

Clarence Hill (Speaker 0) predicts the Cowboys will pay George Pickens and use the franchise tag on DeMarvion Overshown next offseason, and that four Texas Longhorns will be top-15 picks in next year's NFL draft. He also says Overshown and 'Flournoy' will have big years.

McCarthy · Hit 100
