The latest out of Dallas:
- Cowboys defensive end Tyrone Crawford has spoken to the league the last couple of weeks to argue for the reinstatement of suspended defensive lineman Randy Gregory, Clarence Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram tweets. Crawford’s believe is that it is best for Gregory to be around the team as he looks to get his personal life and football career back on track. The Cowboys are hopeful that Gregory will be allowed to play in 2018, but they are not banking on him playing.
- The Cowboys not interested in adding a veteran tight end to make up for Jason Witten retiring, Jon Machota of the Dallas News tweets. Instead, as exec Stephen Jones has said in the past, the team wants to give the opportunity to the tight ends already on the roster. Not counting UDFA’s, the Cowboys’ TE depth chart is comprised of Geoff Swaim, Blake Jarwin, fourth-round pick Dalton Schultz, and Rico Gathers.
- Kansas head coach David Beaty believes defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. fell to the Cowboys in the fourth round because of his weight and lack of quickness at the combine and pro day (link via Jori Epstein of the Dallas News). Assuming Armstrong gets his conditioning in order, Beaty believes the Cowboys have a tremendous steal on their hands. In 2016, Armstrong had a breakout year with ten sacks for the Jayhawks.
I like the picture
Cowboy rumors and it’s a cheerleader
Better than Jones
Is Rico Gathers any good?
Hadn’t played football since middle school before Dallas took him in the draft. Massive for a tight end- 6-6, 285. And given his background as a basketball player, albeit a defensive oriented one, he has the skills to stick around. But, if you’re looking for Witten’s successor, I’m not optimistic.
Decent to good hands, but no blocking skills to speak of.
I’d bang the cheerleader
Anyone would.
Shocking.
Not a statement very becoming for the future Mayor of Knox County, TN…
