The Dallas Cowboys have hired Brian Schottenheimer as a consultant, filling the role Ben McAdoo had last year.

Schottenheimer will help offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn with opposing team analysis and leaguewide trends. 

Schottenheimer was the Seattle Seahawks' offensive coordinator from 2018 to '20. He has been with seven teams in his NFL coaching career.

Dak Prescott is confident in CeeDee Lamb as the No. 1 target for the Dallas Cowboys going forward.

The Cowboys have shuffled their wide receiver room -- trading Amari Cooper, losing Cedrick Wilson in free agency, re-signing Michael Gallup and adding James Washington.

"Yeah, there's no doubt he is," Prescott said.

"I think that's the best part of that move. You look at a guy like CeeDee and what he's done in his first two years, it's exciting. He hasn't really scratched the surface. Just for him to be the one, to be the main guy, I know he's going to be ready for it. I know he's already doing the things he needs to do that are necessary to have a great season."

The Dallas Cowboys have released La'el Collins, which will save them $10 million for 2022.

Collins signed a five-year, $50 million contract extension in 2019 that carried guaranteed money into this season. 

Over the past two seasons, Collins missed 21 of 33 games to injury or suspension. 

Michael Gallup and the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a five-year, $62.5 million deal.

The Cowboys traded Amari Cooper last week.

Gallup was set to hit the free-agent market next week, but he opted to remain with the team that drafted him in 2018 and rehab with the athletic training staff he trusts after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in January.

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to trade Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns for a 2022 fifth round pick and a sixth round pick.

The Browns had a need at wide receiver after releasing Odell Beckham Jr. in November.

The Cowboys planned to release Cooper if they were unable to trade him.

The Browns could now trade Jarvis Landry. 

The Dallas Cowboys are engaged in active trade conversations involving right tackle La'el Collins, according to a report.

Collins has struggled to remain healthy the past two seasons.

The tackle's cap number for 2022 stands at $15.25 million.

Jerry Jones is being sued by a 25-year-old woman who is alleging that the billionaire paid her mother hundreds of thousands of dollars in 1996 to conceal that he was the girl's biological father.

The lawsuit states that at the age of 1, the girl was bound to secrecy by a confidentiality agreement signed by her mother.

Jones denied in settlement documents that he was the biological father of the child.

However, he paid the woman $375,000 "in exchange for confidentiality" and had an Arkansas friend and lawyer named Donald Jack set up two trusts for the girl linked to her and her mother, keeping Jones' paternity a secret, per the lawsuit.

The Dallas Cowboys are likely to part ways with Amari Cooper via release or trade by the start of the new league year. 

Cooper is due to make $20 million in base salary that becomes fully guaranteed on March 20. Releasing him would save the Cowboys $16 million in cap space.

The fourth overall pick of the 2015 draft, Cooper has caught 292 passes for 3,893 yards with 27 touchdowns since being traded to the Cowboys from the Raiders midway through the 2018 season.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones is defending the team's culture amid voyeurism allegations.

Jones didn't comment on an ESPN report regarding a $2.4 million settlement the organization paid four cheerleaders after a voyeurism claim was made against a senior executive in 2015.

"I feel like we have a solid culture," Jones said. "You can always be better. You strive to get better every day in every area. So that'd be my comment."

According to documents obtained by ESPN and people with knowledge of the situation, the cheerleaders accused Rich Dalrymple, the Cowboys senior vice president of public relations and communications, of using his security key card to enter the back door of their locked dressing room during an event at AT&T Stadium on Sept. 2, 2015.

One of the women alleged she clearly saw Dalrymple standing behind a partial wall with his iPhone extended toward them as they were changing their clothes, according to people with knowledge of the events and letters sent by attorneys for the cheerleaders to the team.
