The Cowboys have called Arlington home since 2009. They will call it home until at least 2055.
The Cowboys and the city of Arlington are finalizing a lease extension at AT&T Stadium, Mayor Jim Ross told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The original lease was set to expire in 2039, but will be extended by 16 years.
“A huge project that will hit the agenda next week is we’re extending the Cowboys’ lease here in Arlington to 2055,” Ross told the newspaper. “That is a phenomenal deal, because that means the small business around the entertainment district, and everybody else, has now 30 more years of having the Cowboys here in Tarrant County and the Cowboys here in Arlington. We are super stoked about what’s going on, and we have tremendous momentum.”
Despite its age, AT&T Stadium remains one of the marquee venues in the NFL.
It hosted a Super Bowl in 2011, NBA All-Star Weekend in 2010, the NCAA Men’s Final Four in 2014, a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2015 and became the new permanent home of the Cotton Bowl in 2010.
The Cowboys committed $295 million to renovate the stadium in anticipation of the FIFA World Cup.
The stadium will host nine matches this summer, the most of any venue in the tournament.
Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren appears headed to being a late first-round draft pick later this month.
McNeil-Warren has become a popular top-30 visitor.
He is currently visiting the Dolphins in Miami after recent visits with the Patriots, Browns, Cowboys and Falcons, according to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report. McNeil-Warren will head to Pittsburgh after finishing in Miami today.
McNeil-Warren earned second-team All-American honors last season when he totaled 77 tackles, three forced fumbles, two interceptions and seven passes defensed.
Dane Brugler of TheAthletic.com ranks McNeil-Warren as his 23rd-best player in the draft, third among safeties.
Cornerback Brandon Cisse is among the prospects making the rounds with the draft a little over two weeks away.
Jordan Reid of ESPN.com reports that Cisse recently visited with the Cowboys. He’s also set to meet with the Seahawks.
Cisse played two seasons at North Carolina State before transferring to South Carolina for the 2025 season. He had 27 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and an interception while building a profile that has led many to project him as a second-day pick this year.
The Cowboys signed Cobie Durant to go with Shavon Revel, DaRon Bland and Caelen Carson at corner. The Seahawks parted ways with Riq Woolen this offseason, but the Super Bowl champs have Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe set to return.
The Cowboys are often in the spotlight and that should be the case when the first round of the draft gets underway in a couple of weeks.
Dallas currently holds the 12th and 20th overall picks, which gives them a lot of options when it comes to moving around the draft board to get the players they covet the most in this year’s class. They could also try to look to 2027 in deals for future assets and team owner Jerry Jones said the team will “absolutely” be considering all of those possibilities before and during the draft.
“When you’ve got the kind of assets or the kind of ammunition we’ve got in this draft, you should look at all machinations,” Jones said, via the team’s website. “It’s one thing to sit here right now, it’s another thing to sit and look at it three hours into the draft and see what you got there. So all of that is a possibility. This is an obvious statement, but nothing — no amount of skill, no amount of knowledge — can beat having a lot of draft capital, having a lot of picks.”
The Cowboys have eight overall picks, but lack a second-round selection after sending theirs to the Jets in the Quinnen Williams trade last season. A move down with one of their first-round picks could get them one, but it’s just one of the paths the team could take later this month.
Former Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell is set for a busy week.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Bell is visiting with the Jets on Tuesday. He’ll then head to Indianapolis for a meeting with the Colts and a Combine medical recheck.
Bell tore his ACL in a November game last year, which is why he’ll be heading for another medical check this week. He had 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns before his injury and 151 catches for 2,166 yards and 12 touchdowns over his entire run with the Cardinals.
Rapoport adds that Bell is also slated to meet with the Raiders and Cowboys ahead of the draft later this month.
