As the league meetings get underway, one Cowboys notable is missing. Without Mike McCarthy there for any media Q&A, that leaves Jerry Jones to face the press. The Cowboys owner has been M.I.A. lately amid a handful of controversies both on and off the field, but the silence may end this week.
Elsewhere, an ex-Cowboy takes a shot at the team as he meets with reporters for his new club, and we learn that the Dallas front office tried to keep its struggling kicker in the building. Bills quarterback Josh Allen isn’t a fan of Trevon Diggs’s recent what-if scenario involving his brother, we get a glimpse into the day-to-day life of real-life cowboy James Washington, and the grades are out on which NFL GMs do draft-day trades the best.
