The Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with offensive line coach Paul Alexander and promoted Marc Colombo to the position.

Alexander was named the offensive line coach in the offseason after a 24-year stint with the Cincinnati Bengals. He replaced Frank Pollack, who moved to the Bengals in the same role.

Colombo has been the assistant offensive line coach since 2016 after a 10-year career as a player, including six with the Cowboys, five as the starting right tackle.

The Dallas Cowboys have sent their 2019 first round pick to the Oakland Raiders for Amari Cooper.

The Raiders now own three picks in the 2019 draft as they previously acquired a first rounder from the Chicago Bears.

The Dallas Cowboys are conducting due diligence on Amari Cooper in consideration of a trade.

Cooper is believed to be on the trade block by the Oakland Raiders.

Washington and the Indianapolis Colts have also reached out to the Raiders on Cooper.

The Cowboys traded first-, third-, sixth- and seventh-round picks to the Detroit Lions in 2008 for wide receiver Roy Williams.

Cooper is in the NFL's concussion protocol, but the Raiders are on a bye this week and don't play again until Oct. 28 against Indianapolis.

If the Seattle Seahawks are put up for sale, Jeff Bezos has been linked as a potential candidate to buy the team.

Bezos is the richest man in the world as the founder and CEO of Amazon.

“Someone like that,” Jones said of Bezos, “I’d carry him piggyback to get him to the NFL.”

Along with Bezos, also mentioned were Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers; Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle Corporation; Joe Lacob, owner of the Golden State Warriors; and Marc Benioff, co-CEO of Salesforce.

Allen never married and had no children. His younger sister, Jody Allen, reportedly does not have interest in running either the Seahawks or the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers, both owned by her brother, but she has not shared her wishes publicly. 

Jerry Jones has denied a report that the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to an extension with Jason Garrett.

Garrett signed a five-year, $30 million extension in January 2015.

“I don’t know where Jeff is getting his information,” Jones said on his weekly radio show on 105.3 The Fan, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. “He’s pulling one out of the air there as far as any knowledge. My response should not in any way indicate that I’m thinking about it or whether it’s going to be there, it’s just not something that I would have visited with anybody about, least of all Jeff.

“I happen to know that I’ve never spoken to another soul about that as far as that is concerned.”

There have been calls for the Dallas Cowboys to re-sign Dez Bryant as they struggle to be productive in the passing game, but Jerry Jones doesn't believe he'd fix anything.

Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that the Cowboys haven't had a No. 1 receiver in "several years."

The Cowboys released Bryant in April in part because he was due to make $12.5 million in 2018.

"I'm basically giving you my definition of a No. 1 receiver, and it is Julio Jones. It is the guy we played the other night [DeAndre Hopkins]," Jones said. "Those are the guys. There's not but about a handful of those in the NFL."

The Cowboys opted to replace Bryant with a committee approach at wide receiver, but through five games, none of the six on the 53-man roster has reached 200 yards.

Jason Garrett explained his decision to punt in the Dallas Cowboys' overtime loss at the Houston Texans.

Jerry Jones had publicly questioned the decision by Garrett.

"We were being outplayed there, not out-efforted but we were outplayed," Jones said Sunday. "But it's time for risk at that particular time. That's not second-guessing, but we were taking some risk too at certain points in the game."

On Monday, Garrett relayed the message to Jones during their Monday meeting.

"We talked about the thought process behind that and why we made the decision like that based on how we were playing on defense in particular and what the details of the circumstances were," Garrett said.

Garrett was asked if he still felt supported by Jones and offered a one-word answer: yes.

When the Houston Texans drafted Deshaun Watson in the first round last year, he hoped to emulate Dak Prescott's immediate impact with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Texans and Cowboys play in Week 5.

"It's cool," Watson said. "Dak is a friend of mine. We're boys. We talk whenever we see each other. We want the best for each other and he's a guy that I can watch and try to improve my game because we have similar things we do.

"We both can run, throw from the pocket and do some good things, have great leadership of the team. He's a guy that, of course he's one of the quarterbacks I look at as my time as I’m growing in this league."

The Houston Texans' Week 5 game on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys has the highest average ticket price on the secondary ticket market, according to data from TicketCity.

The rematch of the 2017 NFC Championship between the Eagles and Vikings ranks second at $305.

1. Cowboys at Texans: $394
2. Vikings at Eagles: $305
3. Falcons at Steelers: $247
4. Colts at Patriots: $233
5. Raiders at Chargers: $198
