![]() ![]() There should be at least a couple of additions at some point, probably UDFAs. The rest of the bunch is basically the core of the annual competition for the remaining wide receiver slots on the 53-man roster. Fans keep hoping for him to be incorporated more in the offense, but his usage has been limited. KaVontae Turpin should be back with the team on the strength of his return skills. Tolbert is the leading contender for the third starter’s position, having played the most of any of the remaining WRs. That would leave the WR3 job open, and even if Gallup stays in Dallas this fall, there is no guarantee he would get it. It would be nice to get some additional draft capital for a player you are moving on from. (There are those weird cap machinations again.) A trade seems very unlikely, which is not to the team’s advantage. This is the first year of his extension that they can release him and get a cap benefit, especially if he is designated a post June 1 cut. The team made the gamble that he would return to form with a five-year contract extension, but so far that has been a losing bet. He simply has not been a consistent producer for the team since his injury late in 2021. The reason for not listing the three starters the Cowboys typically use with 11 personnel is that there is a sense that Gallup will be released or possibly traded. Cooks is on the final year of his deal (with two void years, one of the many cap manipulation tools team use) and will probably be allowed to play it out before the team makes any decision on him hanging around longer. An extension for Lamb could net nearly $13.5 million in cap space as well. Lamb is going to get a new deal at some point, and if the team gets its act together they will do so before things drag out and animosity might set in. All names taken from the latest depth chart at Ourlads.ĭepth: Michael Gallup, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Martavis Bryant, Jalen Cropper, David Durden, Racey McMath Now it is time to take a look at the players who he will be throwing most of his passes to this fall, and where there might be a need for additional talent. We know Dak Prescott will be back as the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. Offensive backfield and specialists review is here. The Cowboys should make Gilmore a priority.This is the second in a series detailing who is currently under contract and the decisions the team has to make. Only Cooks and Lance are a certainty to return. Last season, they had five players who’d made it that far: Cooks, Stephon Gilmore, Jayron Kearse, Dante Fowler Jr. ![]() The goal of the Cowboys is at least to make it back to the conference title game. He’s seen up close and personal what winning looks like. Basically, Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris, who can’t even get off the bench, but his stops have included the Suns, Lakers and Heat. Which is why the list of speakers during a recent team meeting was short. Jason Kidd, a coach on thin ice, has made the point that precious few players on his roster have won anything. Washington if a recent win felt like a playoff game, he smiled and said he had no idea. What you can’t find in the draft: players who’ve won championships in the big leagues. Certainly cheaper ones, and maybe even one who can break a tackle or two down at the goal line. Running backs don’t mean what they used to, either, which is why losing Tony Pollard doesn’t hurt all that much. He’s just not on both wheels all that much. Seems to me that Dak and CeeDee Lamb ought to make their families aware of the difficulties they’re creating.īesides, Barkley’s great when he’s healthy. Makes a mess for the QB and WR that they might not be able to clean up. But when you’re the brother of the Cowboys’ embattled QB - or the mother of a Cowboys wide receiver - you can’t be throwing hot sports opinions into a public forum. Might not work out, but you can’t say he’s asleep at the wheel. ![]() Regular readers of this space may recall that I’m on record about my admiration for Howie Roseman, the Eagles’ general manager. The have the best front office in the NFL. Speaking of Dak: Did you see the latest outburst from his brother, Tad? Reacting to the Eagles’ signing of Saquon Barkley, he tweeted, “So, if it wasn’t clear already, it is now. ![]() A valid concern, too, particularly considering the brevity of the postseasons around here. For instance, most readers seem well-acquainted with Dak Prescott’s record, particularly in the playoffs. When it comes to the won-loss records of players, on the other hand, we’re only interested in pitchers and quarterbacks. ![]()
