Cowboys Acquire Guard Holland From Broncos

Oct 23, 2014 10:40 PM

The Cowboys have acquired guard Montrae Holland from the Broncos for a fifth-round draft pick in 2010, according to Dallas Morning News. Holland will fill in at left guard while Kyle Kosier recovers from a foot injury. "We think to come in there and get a guy who started and has as much experience as he has is an opportunity for us when we look initially at our backup situation," owner Jerry Jones said. "We don't have those kinds of starters on the team. That was a plus for us."

Witten On Bennett: He's Got To Figure It Out First

Oct 12, 2014 6:54 AM

Martellus Bennett, a rookie tight end for the Cowboys, recalls a rather harsh response after asking Jason Witten for help early in training camp. "I'm not going to be [beep] doing this all the [beep] time. You've got to know what the [beep] to do." "He says it all the time, 'Jason doesn't like me,'" Witten said of Bennett. "It's not that I don't like him. It's just that I'm letting him figure it out. He's got to figure it out first, and once he does, obviously that's where I come along." "He's got a good position coach that pushes him, obviously. When he's ready for it, I'll definitely be able to talk to him and push his buttons. But you've got to figure it out first, and he's well on his way to doing that."

Sep 30, 2014 11:25 PM

Cowboys' receiver Terrell Owens says that he 'could have done more' in the team's playoff loss to the Giants last year, according to The Star-Telegram. Owens missed the final game of the regular season with a high ankle sprain but returned in the Cowboys? 21-17 divisional loss to the Giants two weeks later. "I feel I made the most of the opportunities," Owens said. "It was just like when I played in the Super Bowl with the [Philadelphia] Eagles, I told the coach if I am on the football field to treat me as if I am 100 percent. I don?t think they [were] considering what I did in the game. ... I felt like I could have done more."

Sep 7, 2014 11:58 AM

Cowboys linebacker Zach Thomas is eager to put his history of concussions behind him, according to The Associated Press. "They labeled me with that, as prone for concussions," Thomas said.

"I wouldn't be here if it was going to be a problem," Thomas said. "Trust me, there's no difference between 12 and 13 years to me. I could have retired and did all that."
