Cowboys News: Jerry Jones smears Bengals in testimony, Micah’s camp stance
With four open roster spots of the 90 players allowed to attend training camp, it was inevitable the Cowboys would fill additional openings. Half the work is now complete as the team singed two defenders from the UFL. Both players have previous NFL experience and one is even a former first rounder. All of those roster moves overshadowed the fact that Jerry Jones testified on Monday and he threw another team under the bus to make his point.
Planning on attending training camp? The team announced their itenerary for California yet the times for practice are still to be determined. Elsewhere, Pro Football Network revealed their top-10 players under 25 and a couple of Cowboys made the list. While the names who just missed the cut are part of this teams core, there are concerns about five players whose contracts were just named as the worst on this team. Micah Parsons runs a youth football camp, a journalists casts doubt on the Cowboys offseason”All-In” plan, and quarterback Dak Prescott names his best friend. All of that plus more in this edition of Cowboys news and notes.
A year removed from attempting to get through an NFL season with the least amount of linebackers possible, the Cowboys have apparently learned their lesson and added another name to a growing group by signing the leading tackler of the UFL.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had to testify about the ongoing legal matter regarding the Sunday NFL Ticket product. The trial is an important one for fans who aren’t in the local market of their favorite team. It seeks to break up the one-size-fits all package and potentially allow fans to purchase a team, a week or even each individual game. In response, Jones said that would be a financial windfall for a team like his, and detrimental to a less popular team like the Bengals.
Ouch.
Training camp is roughly a month away but the team announced a few major details that could be helpful for those who plan to watch the Cowboys practice in Oxnard. The official team charter will depart on July 22-23 and all players are required to check in on Wednesday, July 24. The team will have its longest stay in California as the team is not expected to return home until August 22.
The talk in Dallas has been about the contract statuses of quarterback Dak Prescott, wideout CeeDee Lamb, and edge rusher Micah Parsons. A closer look at the Cowboys cap reveals the pitfalls of just handing out money can have on a team. Five of the worst contracts the Cowboys are currently dealing with.
Dallas made a couple of moves today poaching two defenders from the UFL. After hitting on players such as wideout/returner Kavonte Turpin and All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey, going back to the well to add depth at thin positions may end up becoming smart business.
The Cowboys have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL so it is not surprising to see two current players named among PFN’s top 25 under 25 list. What may be even more surprising is the list of players who guys who just aged out.
Cowboys Hall of Fame wideout Micheal Irvin has never shied away from the spotlight but a recent announcement about his personal life reveals a heartbreaking battle that lies ahead for him and his family.
Last season, Dallas had question marks about which player would emerge as the primary tight end for the Cowboys offense. A year later, TE Jake Ferguson is clearly the starter and the second-round pick used last season on Luke Schoonmaker probably makes him the leader for the backup job. With pocket knife-like versatility behind them, the battle for the remaining spots will be a great training camp battle.
