So much for all the critics! What do they all know anyways? Today, Cowboys rookie WR Dez Bryant, selected 24th overall, squashed all their doubt and uncertainly regarding the possibility of him looking to get paid top 10 money and becoming a rookie hold out.

Dez became the first first-round draft pick of the 2010 NFL Draft to sign a contact with his team. Bryant’s deal puts to rest all the naysayers and guarantees the rookie wide receiver will be on the practice field when the Cowboys open training camp practices in San Antonio on Saturday.

Bryant said in a statement,

This was very important to me to be able to get this done in time for the first practice. I want to help this team. I want to compete. I can’t wait to start playing football again.”

Bryant signed a five-year deal worth a reported $11.8 million dollars with $8.5 million dollars guaranteed. The contract is just shy of last year’s 24th pick, Peria Jerry, ($13.25 million), but has more guaranteed dollars than Peria’s $7.55M guaranteed.

Bryant also said,

This was my call. I told Eugene (his agent) that I wanted to be in camp on time. I just want to play football.”

And so here he is, signed and ready to play in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys. Forget the past kid, go out and make then say, “WOW!” Bryant is nor worried about playing time or even starting, but he wants to be on the field. “Don’t get me wrong. I would love to start, but I don’t care about it,” Dez said. “I just want to earn my playing time and do whatever it takes to help this team.”

Roy Williams, you have just been put on notice!

The Dallas Cowboys have finalized their training camp schedule for 2010, and it looks like they will split time between Texas and California. Two large states for one big team!

At that point, the Cowboys will head to Canton for the Hall of Fame game between the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Dallas Cowboys Star Report will be up and running again this season. I will be recording the 1st episode of Season 2 starting next week after the Denver Broncos preseason game. Watch out for it!

After months of speculation, it is official, Terry Glenn is no longer a Dallas Cowboy.

There were three players who missed the start of training camp. Both first round rookies, Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins who had not reached a contract agreement with the Cowboys and Glenn, who was asked to sign an injury waiver. For a brief moment on Friday it appeared as if all three would be signing and joining the team for practice on Saturday.

It was a very brief moment.

During the late afternoon practice, Cowboys Owner and GM Jerry Jones told the media that the Cowboys would be releasing the veteran wide receiver. It was a pretty cut and dry decision by Jerry and it does not appear that it had anything to do with the fact the Glenn had refused to sign the $500,000 injury waiver. It appears that the Cowboys are moving forward with the young receivers and hoping that they can step up and contribute along side veteran stand out Terrell Owens.

Good move? Bad move? Only time will tell.

Welcome back to a second season of the Dallas Cowboys Star Report. Last year didn’t finish up quite like we wanted. After an incredible 13-3 season, we whiffed against the Gaints in the Divisional Playoff game, and I won’t even go into how we lost that game. As the title suggests – FORGET THE PAST, it is time to move on. You should notice however, that it has taken me 6 months to forget the past and get on here and start season 2.

But the time is now and I strongly believe that this is the year the Cowboys not only return to the promise land, but they win it all. That is right, I think the Dallas Cowboys have assembled a team that will get by the NFC with little problems and not only win one playoff game, but win three. Making the first team in the NFL to win 6 Super Bowls overall. It is my opinion, take it or leave it.

For only the second time this season, the Cowboys lose, going down at the hands of last years NFC East Champs, the Philadelphia Eagles. Steven recaps the game and this time, the Fat Lady Sang early thanks to the smart play of Eagles RB Brian Westbook. The Cowboys offense struggles all day long and Tony Romo looks bad especially after he injured the thumb on his throwing hand.

In Cowboys news, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders head off to support our troops at the 65th USO Tour. Safety Roy Williams has been suspended for one game. Williams appealed the suspension, but it was upheld today. Here are the Panthers, still fighting for their playoff lives. How will the Cowboys handle this late season adversity.

The Good:
TE Jason Witten: In a game where not much went right for the Cowboys, Witten posted 8 catches for 113 yards. Week in and week out, Witten just gets it done.

The Bad:
QB Tony Romo: Romo has done almost nothing wrong this season, but against the Eagles he was not himself. For the first time in 17 straight games, Romo was held without throwing a single TD pass. He finished the game with 13 of 36 passing for 214 yards and no TDs with 3 INTs.

The Ugly:
SS Roy Williams: Williams was flagged for an illegal “horse collar” tackle against Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. This was his third such personal foul penalty called against him this year, earning him a one game unpaid suspension. Williams needs to remove this bad habit from his playing days.

Congrats to the Dallas Cowboys who clinch the NFC East Division Title by virtue of their 28-27 last minute comeback against he Detroit Lions. Steven recaps the game and says it isn’t over until the Fat Lady Sings! The Detroit Lions gave the Cowboys all they could handle, but in the end, TE Jason Witten catches the game winning touchdown pass from Tony Romo to atone for his fumble earlier in the game.

In Cowboys news, the Cowboys open up a waiting list for season ticket holders for the new stadium, WR Terry Glenn hits the practice field, CB Terrance Newman stays off the practice field and Terrell Owens has some words for ESPN’s Keyshawn Johnson.

The Good:
TE Jason Witten: Not only did Witten catch the game winning TD with 18 seconds left in the game, Witten became the first tight end to catch 15 passes in a single game since Kellen Winslow Jr. in 1983. Witten finished the game with 138 yards and that 1 TD.

The Bad:
Run Defense: The Cowboys defense was only allowing 80.2 yards per game to opposing offenses prior to the Lions game and they allowed the usually inept Lions rushing attack to net 152 yards on the ground. The defense will have to stiffen up as they face Brian Westbrook and the Eagles this week.

Steven recaps the 37-27 beating of the Green Bay Packers. Brett Favre gets knocked out of the game and QB Tony Romo continues to have a fantastic season, earning him NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this year.

In Cowboys news, the Cowboys vs Packers game becomes the highest rated cable TV show in 14 years. Not bad for a game that was not available to as many people as should have been. Plus Steven gives a preview of the upcoming game between the Detroit Lions. Steven says he would not trade places with Lions QB Jon Kitna for all the alcohol in Ireland.

The Good:
QB Tony Romo: if not for a Terell Owens bobbled pass in the end zone causing an INT by Al Harris, Romo would have been perfect, throwing 30 times and completing 19 passes, 4 of them for TDs. Romo now has 33 touchdown passes making him the Cowboys single season TD pass leader.

The Bad:
2 minute defense: Once again, the Cowboys allowed points right before the half. After taking a 27-10 lead, the defense allowed the Packers to go 74 yards on 8 plays to cut the lead to 27-17 just before the half.

The Ugly:
Finishing Off A Team: The Cowboys need to improve on finishing teams off. They need to get back to that killer instinct they had earlier in the season and put teams away when they have a chance.
