The Cowboys officially begin their 2017 season this Sunday at home against the New York Giants. As it is officially the season that means the team needs new team captains, and we found out who they were on Wednesday:
Team captains are voted on by the players, and NFL teams are permitted to have up to six. In previous season’s the Cowboys have rolled with only five, but this year they hit the maximum and even tried to go beyond the league limit.
The Cowboys called the league to petition to have seven captains.
