Cowboys' Ram reacts to contract hold rumors – Patrick Walker, Dallascowboys.com
Will the Cowboys' star wide receiver get a new contract this offseason?
It's unclear whether he'll ultimately help speed up the end game, but what he said next leaves no room for interpretation, with no one outside the building saying he'll help speed up the endgame either way. It should give a sigh of relief to anyone who was wondering whether he would be able to participate. The most important Cowboys season in recent memory.
“It's about winning. I'm looking forward to winning and going out there with my guys and achieving this goal again,” he said after returning the declaration. “…That's right, I'm going to Dallas!”
Lamb, a former first-round pick of the Cowboys in 2020, will enter the final year of his rookie contract in September. Arrival will be owed around $18 million with his fifth-year option unless a new contract is agreed upon by then.
He is one of three high-priority extension players for the Cowboys, along with two other All-Pro talents: quarterback Dak Prescott and linebacker Micah Parsons. The latter has declared that it wants Lamb and Prescott to secure new contract extensions first and will wait for significant progress in negotiations.
“We know they have to finish CeeDee Lamb,” Parsons said in mid-February. “I think that's the priority right now, but if they're ready to talk about a contract and get a deal done, I'll be very excited. I'm ready to be a Cowboy for life. . This is the team I wanted to be with [pre-draft]. This is a team that I want to win a championship with, and what's meaningful to me is what's meaningful to me.
NFL Draft prospect J'Tavion Sanders talks about his preparation for joining the NFL, citing Cowboys as best fit – DJ Siddiqi, Forbes.com
A local prospect might consider himself a member of the Dallas Cowboys.
Sanders explains why his past experience as a defensive end will help him continue to develop as a tight end in the NFL.
“Absolutely,” Sanders said in a one-on-one sit-down interview. “I played defense in high school and played against tight ends. Just understanding how tight ends like to block and the certain language they use.”
Unsurprisingly, Sanders has cited his hometown Dallas Cowboys as one of the best candidates for him.
He also mentioned a number of teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs, as teams that could fit his skill set.
“The Cowboys would be a good fit,” Sanders said. “The Dolphins, the Chiefs, they've won back-to-back Super Bowls, the Eagles, the Broncos, the Bills.”
Sanders met with the Cowboys last week on a Top 30 visit, and Dallas is less than an hour away from Denton, where Sanders was a star on both sides of the ball in high school. The top 30 visits are private meetings with prospects.
Let's take a quick look at how Dallas could address their needs in the draft.
The Cowboys are in dire need of a running back after Tony Pollard left for the Tennessee Titans. The move makes third-year back Rico Doodle (385 career rushing yards) the top option in Dallas' depth. But that's not the first round issue. The offensive line.
Longtime left tackle Tyron Smith has been traded to the New York Jets to protect Aaron Rodgers, leaving the high-profile Dallas team. The Cowboys also signed center Tyler Biadasz with the rival Washington Commanders.
Dallas also needs a legitimate No. 2 or No. 3 receiver to play next to CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. And Micah Parsons could use some help to balance out the pass rush. Dallas did little to address these needs in free agency, leading some to wonder what team owner Jerry Jones meant when he said the Cowboys would be “all in” this offseason. There will be. The pressure is on in the draft.
Dream fantasy draft pick
Trey Benson. In the spirit of baseball starts, the Florida State running back looks like a solid double or triple as a second-day draft prospect, even if it's not a home run. He has the size to handle early down work and is explosive in a straight line. Benson also shows the skills needed to be a solid receiver out of the backfield, although he's not a matchup-dominant route runner. The Cowboys need talent at running back, and Benson can provide that. If he is drafted by Dallas on Day 2, the attention of the draft board will skyrocket. — Matt Harmon
Former Cowboys first-round flop Taco Charlton makes a big splash in the UFL – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports
Things finally seem to be looking up for a Michigan man.
Lately, Charlton has been trying his luck in the UFL (he is one of nine former Cowboys to participate in the spring pro league). It's safe to say things have been going well so far, especially with his recent performances as a Birmingham stallion.
On Sunday, Charlton accomplished something he couldn't do in the NFL: a multi-sack game in the UFL.
In 60 NFL games, Charlton's single-game career high was one sack, which he accomplished on 11 different occasions. pro football reference. In his second UFL game, Charlton finished the day with three sacks instead of one or two. and 3 tackles for loss.
Many on social media are already calling for him to be named Defensive Player of the Week.
Even better, Charlton made his final sack of the game against the Michigan Panthers at the opponent's 14-yard line with a chance to tie the game with 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Charlton had other plans when he sped past his left tackle unblocked, but the left tackle got busy with the inside rusher and made a huge mistake on the game-clinching play.
