The player who stands out in NFL trade rumors is Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby.

The Dallas Cowboys are positioning themselves to be big spenders during NFL free agency, with contract restructures over the weekend clearing significant cap space.

The NFL announced that the Dallas Cowboys will play in the first game in Rio di Janeiro during the 2026 NFL season.

On Thursday afternoon, the NFL announced that the Dallas Cowboys will play a 2026 regular-season game in Rio de Janeiro. It will be the team’s first trip abroad for a game since 2014 when the team made the trip to London to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Klayton Adams helped transform the Dallas Cowboys' run game in 2025. He says it also helps create explosive plays on offense.

Both of those games were played in Sau Paulo, but the Cowboys will play in Maracana Stadium. This is the NFC's year to go international, as teams with nine home games are selected for the contest first. The league will announce the team's opponent, and week of the game, later this spring.

The NFL has already played two games in Brazil, but those took place in São Paulo at Corinthians Arena, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 6, 2024, and the Los Angeles Chargers bested the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 5, 2025. Both were season openers, and both were decided by one score.

Pickens and Parsons aren't identical situations. But each inspired more confidence from the Cowboys on the field than off, and each have prompted questions from the Cowboys about their value relative to a quickly-growing market.
