News: Elliott feeling well but not happy, Cowboys WR best trio in NFL?

News and notes for all things Dallas Cowboys on June 15, 2020.

It was the usual kind of sleepy Monday the NFL fan endures every June, right up until news came down Dallas Cowboys players had been diagnosed with Covid-19. The one whose name was publicly leaked? Running back Ezekiel Elliott, who can’t escape an offseason unscathed.

Elsewhere, there’s just a month left to get a deal done with quarterback Dak Prescott, the debate of who has the best receiving corps in the game has just begun as the countdown to kickoff continues.

It was only a matter of time before this happened. Not Elliott specifically, but a big-name NFL player to come down with the coronavirus that is impacting lives globally. It’s not the first, nor it will be the last instance of a player testing positive around the league. It is however, a firm reminder of the unprecedented situation facing the NFL and its employees.

Elliott, fortunately, was asymptomatic and only thought to be tested because someone he knew had tested positive.

Futurama: Why Cowboys are regarded as having dynasty-capable talent

Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report ranked the seven best teams set up for the future entering 2020. The Cowboys ranked 4th.

There’s no doubt plenty of reasons to be excited to be a Cowboys fan entering the 2020 season. During the offseason, they revamped the coaching staff after parting ways with Jason Garrett, added key veterans during free agency, and had an excellent draft in April.

Just recently, Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report ranked the seven best teams set up for the future heading into the new season, and the Cowboys came in at No. 4. Dallas ranked second in the NFC behind the San Francisco 49ers. The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens held down the top two spots respectively.

It isn’t hard to see why the Cowboys landed on this list when examining their moves over the last several months.It started with the signing of former All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy who spent 2019 with the Carolina Panthers, and will now take over duties at the 3-tech as an upgrade over the departed Maliek Collins. His teammate from a year ago, Dontari Poe, would join shortly after to play alongside him at the 1-tech. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, a savvy veteran safety who played his best ball under new Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy in Green Bay, was added as an upgrade to Jeff Heath who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders.

They also added former All-Pro defensive end Aldon Smith, who was just recently conditionally reinstated after a five-year hiatus.

In the draft, the Cowboys saw a massive infusion of promising young talent. It all started with the selection of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb at 17, who along with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, give the Cowboys one of the most dangerous receiving cores in the league.

In the second round, Trevon Diggs was taken at No. 51, a long and physical corner with excellent ball skills who could be CB1 in 2020.

In the third round, they added defensive tackle Neville Gallimore, a 300-pound wrecking ball that will add depth to the Cowboys interior pass rush playing both the 1-tech and 3-tech.

The fourth round saw the Cowboys double up on young soldiers.

First, they took another ball-hawking corner in Reggie Robinson, who will be in the mix with for playing time early. Also, they took center Tyler Biadasz out of Wisconsin who can compete with Joe Looney and Connor McGovern to take over starting duties with the retirement of Travis Fredrick.

In the fifth round, the Cowboys may have gotten their best value for any draft pick by selecting edge rusher Bradlee Anae, and two-time first-team All-Pac-12 performer out of Utah. A technician with a history of violent tackles, Anae will be heavy in the mix for playing time opposite DeMarcus Lawrence.

Finally, in the seventh round, the Cowboys added more competition to the backup quarterback role by taking Ben DiNucci out of James Madison. As people start to take in DiNucci’s film, more and more are becoming intrigued at his ceiling.

Of course, all of this new talent is being added to a roster that was already loaded.

Quarterback Dak Prescott is coming off a career season with 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns. Ezekiel Elliott finished fourth in rushing, second in all-purpose yards, and tied for first in 100-yard games for all running backs last season. Amari Cooper set career highs in yards (1,189), touchdowns (8), and yards per catch (15.1) a year ago. Zack Martin and Tyron Smith each made the Pro Bowl and La’el Collins was snubbed, grading out as one of the best right tackles in the league in 2019.

That takes care of the offense, but defensively, the Cowboys aren’t too shabby either. DeMarcus Lawrence, despite his sack numbers taking a dip, was one of the better edge rushers in the league last season. Linebacker Jaylon Smith took a step back last year but did manage to finish tied for sixth in the league with 142 tackles. Alongside him will be Leighton Vander Esch, who’s fully recovered from neck surgery, and Sean Lee, who filled in nicely for Vander Esch and registered also 90 tackles last season.

The secondary is the weakness of the roster, as there hasn’t been anyone who has already proven greatness. Xavier Woods will move to strong safety with the addition of Clinton-Dix. The rest, Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis and Anthony Brown, will all battle it out for snaps and a future with the club.

Back to the defensive line, Randy Gregory will more than likely be reinstated with the new CBA no longer punishing players for positive marijuana tests.

The Cowboys are young and talented and could very well be good for the foreseeable future.

Cowboys News: DeMarcus Lawrence working, Dorance Armstrong faces pivotal year

DeMarcus Lawrence is putting in the work so his stats match his talent. Dorance Armstrong faces pivotal third season.

Many will say former All-Pro DeMarcus Lawrence had a down year in 2019 with only five sacks. The Dallas Cowboys top pass rusher is now putting in the work this offseason to put his name back at the forefront of the league’s best coming off the edge. Dorance Armstrong was a raw pass rusher with plenty of upside coming out of Kansas in 2018. Now, with him being unable to consistently make an impact, and added resources along the defensive front, he faces a crucial third season.

The Cowboys landed potential impact rookies CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, Bradlee Anae, and more via the NFL Draft, but who will stand out the most? Amari Cooper is coming off of a career year despite dealing with nagging injuries, but with capable weapons alongside him in the passing game and health, he could have his best season yet. Piecing together the Cowboys defensive line, CeeDee Lamb’s chances for 1,000 yards and a 2021 mock draft are discussed in the news and notes.

Cowboys shut out of PFFs top 25 under 25, but young talent plentiful

The Dallas Cowboys have the makings of an offensive juggernaut for years to come. If they are able to sign Dak Prescott to a long-term extension before things get too contentious, and that should happen as long as both sides keep negotiations just …

The Dallas Cowboys have the makings of an offensive juggernaut for years to come. If they are able to sign Dak Prescott to a long-term extension before things get too contentious, and that should happen as long as both sides keep negotiations just business and not too personal, the quarterback will have a vast array of weaponry at his disposal for the next several years.

Prescott will be 27 through the entirety of the 2020 season, and based on his progress over the first four years of his career, Dallas should have one of the league’s better QBs as long as the Cowboys can make keep happy financially satisfied. His posse is even younger than that, with the top six weapons all checking in under the age of 26. Three of the players are under the age of 25, which is the cutoff for Pro Football Focus’ annual look at the best young talent in the NFL. For the second consecutive year though, the Cowboys were shut out of the rankings.

This year’s omission is hardly as big of an insult as it was in 2019, when RB Ezekiel Elliott was left off the list after leading the NFL in rushing for the second time in three seasons. PFF’s metrics have no love for volume stats, like many in the analytical community. That misses Elliott’s workhorse value and dominance in other advanced metric calculations like value over average and yards above replacement.

Still, Elliott aged out as he’ll play the 2020 season at Age 26, along with two other young weapons, WR Amari Cooper and TE Blake Jarwin. Both players signed long-term deals with Dallas this past offseason, but both have easy outs for the club after the 2021 season.

The true youth movement happens behind them, however.

WR Michael Gallup, 24, ascended to elite-No. 2 receiver and potential No. 1 receiver in 2019, he just hasn’t been asked yet to shoulder the load on his own, but his numbers say that’s a distinct possibility. He more than doubled his yard production to 1,107 and tripled his touchdown receptions to six.

https://www.facebook.com/silverbluelive/videos/543551676445655

Tony Pollard, 23, figures to be a key weapon for Dallas moving forward and not just a backup for Elliott. His balance is surreal and he played a slot-receiving weapon option during his time at Memphis. Along with being the primary kick returner, Pollard should be an X-factor for Dallas for the next several seasons, with big-play ability and playing the matchup-nightmare role when all of the focus is on the bigger names.

One of those bigger names will be CeeDee Lamb, who will play his rookie season at the tender age of 21. Lamb is the most likely player to crack PFF’s list over the next several seasons as a potential alpha receiver in the league.

The Cowbys have an out with Cooper’s contract and Gallup’s ends after the 2021 season as well, but at least one of the two will be paired with Lamb for the next handful of seasons and all three will have at least two seasons together to wreak havoc on defensive backs across the league.

The collection of young talent in the Cowboys offense is augmented by still having a relatively young offensive line, with all projected starters under the age of 30 and signed for the foreseeable future.

So while PFF’s metrics ignore Dallas’ youth movement, the rest of the league certainly won’t be able to afford to.

Dez Bryant tweets support of CeeDee Lamb rocking the 88

One of the most misunderstood sentiments around the career of Dez Bryant was that he wasn’t a good teammate, but anyone who has really paid attention knows that is far from the case. Bryant was a Dallas Cowboys fan long before he heard his name …

One of the most misunderstood sentiments around the career of Dez Bryant was that he wasn’t a good teammate, but anyone who has really paid attention knows that is far from the case. Bryant was a Dallas Cowboys fan long before he heard his name called during the 2010 NFL draft and his reverence for the star should be unquestioned. His passion is his defining characteristic, and many unfamiliar with witnessing the such don’t fully grasp how that can manifest itself during stressful situations.

This isn’t to say that every Bryant outburst was well-timed or well-received, just that it came from good intentions. Since being away from football, and now working to come back after two years out of the league, Bryant has spent time on social media being highly supportive of other NFL players, so it should come as no surprise he is extending his best wishes to the newest Cowboys receiver, CeeDee Lamb.

Even as Lamb is now going to wear Bryant’s famed jersey, No. 88, there’s nothing but love emanating from Bryant’s Twitter handle.

There should be no shocker there, but part of Bryant’s signing off on the coronation is the realization that with owner Jerry Jones convincing Lamb to don the 88 (the player originally announced he wanted to wear No. 10) is the fact it means Bryant will not be returning to sport it for the Cowboys.

After suffering an achilles injury trying to mount a comeback with the New Orleans Saints in 2018, Bryant spent 2019 out of football. He’s been training with NFL quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott in an effort to catch the eye of an NFL team this offseason, but with the shutdown of football hasn’t had the opportunity to workout for any coaching staffs.

Hopefully when the country opens back up Bryant will have the chance to latch on and further his career until he is ready to walk away from the game on his own terms.

Rewind: Twitter went wild over slide, Cowboys’ shocking selection of CeeDee Lamb

Remember that time during the 2020 NFL Draft when the Cowboys were about to be on the clock and everyone was nervous they’d screw it up but then they walked away with the draft’s best receiver and all of Cowboys Nation unified like never before?

[jwplayer MY4dAg6e-ThvAeFxT]

The Dallas Cowboys created the biggest buzz of the 2020 Draft’s first round when they selected CeeDee Lamb from Oklahoma. Thought by most to be long gone from the board before Dallas even approached the clock, the buzz started building around Pick No. 11.

The reaction around the internet, as fans were watching the league’s organizations go through the first virtual draft in NFL history was electric and wild. It turned out to be the highest-viewed draft in history, by a whopping 35 percent.

Nothing could compare though to the build up and reaction to Dallas having Lamb  fall in their laps; the tension build up seemed to traverse the internet into every Cowboys fans devices.

2020 Draft: Contract details for 7 picks, where it leaves Cowboys’ salary cap

The Cowboys already know how much money is going to their rookie class, and here’s where it puts the club in regards to the cap.

[jwplayer a3S0wsVC-ThvAeFxT]

The NFL rookie contract is no longer a source of consternation and fatigue. Starting with the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), a rookie wage scale was put in place, outlining basically every parameter for each pick based on round and selection number. Each year, the amount goes up from the previous year, but the increases are predetermined basically taking out the most important leverage an agent had for the highest of draft picks, but looking out for those in the middle rounds.

The 2020 NFL Draft is hardly different, though with a bigger bump thanks to the most recent CBA, and based on where the Dallas Cowboys selected their seven players, we know what their salaries are going to look like.

The Cowboys will award roughly $7.4 million worth of 2020 cap space to it’s seven drafted rookies. That includes their 2020 base salary, as well as the prorated signing bonus that is spread evenly across all four years of a rookie contract.

That amount, however, is not how much cap space the rookies will take up; it will be considerably less.

During the offseason, team’s cap compliance is based on what the top 51 players of the 90-man roster come up to. Only when things are whittled down to 53 players for the start of the league year does everyone count.

So when Dallas signs these players, whether tomorrow or right before training camp, they will replace people already included in the calculation. The change in the team’s total salary number will be the difference between the rookies and the salaries at the bottom of that top 51.

The bottom seven players almost all make the minimum salary on each team, which thanks to the new CBA was bumped up to $610,000 per man.

7 x $610,000 = $4,270,000 removed from the total team salary to make room for the $7,376,668 means Dallas will add a net total of around $3.1 million.

Dallas entered the draft with around $10 million in cap space, but that will likely increase to $17 million once Travis Frederick retires. If the club chooses to make things official after the June 1 deadline, the remaining signing bonus allocation will be split between 2020 and 2021 cap numbers, meaning his entire base salary of $7 million will be added to their cap space.

Take away the $3.1 million for the eventual signing of their rookies and Dallas will have just under $14 million remaining to sign players from now through the end of the season.

Of course, if they ink Dak Prescott to a long-term deal, there’s a real possibility his cap hold of $31.4 million for the franchise tag gets reduced considerably. There’s also a chance after drafting Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore the club could ask for a pay reduction for Tyrone Crawford and his $8 million base salary. An outright release is also possible.

As for the rookies individually, here’s a look at how their contracts will be structured.

Instant Analysis: What experts think of Ceedee Lamb, Cowboys WR

As the Dallas Cowboys were on the clock with the 17th overall pick it was clear there would be a player on their board that they felt strong

As the Dallas Cowboys were on the clock with the 17th overall pick, it was clear there would be a player on their board that they felt strongly about selecting. After the Atlanta Falcons took cornerback AJ Terrell, the Cowboys had there guy in K’lavon Chassion, a young athletic versatile pass rusher that was not only worthy of the pick but also fit a need.

However, after the Las Vegas Raiders selected Henry Ruggs at No. 13 and the Denver Broncos selected Jerry Jeudy two pick later, it was evident they would have a decision to make. They chose wisely, selecting a Day 1 blue-chip prospect in WR Ceedee Lamb.

Lamb, a consensus top-two receiver in this class adds an exciting and dangerous element to this Cowboys receiving corps, giving them an excellent catch-and-run player with elite ball skills and flexibility to line up on the outside and the inside; something that was important to this coaching staff. He can dominate on all three levels of the defense. There’s certainly an argument to be made the Cowboys have the best trio of receivers on any one roster in the NFL.

Here is what some of the experts thought about Lamb coming into the draft.

[lawrence-related id=644377]

Dane Brugler | The Athletic

WR Rank: 1

9th Overall

Scouting Report

Lamb has quick hands and feet to give defenders the slip before and after the catch, showcasing the football IQ and athleticism that allows him to find open space downfield. There is a backyard football element to his game and added refinement is needed, but his natural feel for creating after the catch is what he does best, showing multiple gears, vision and toughness to force missed tackles. Overall, Lamb is a balanced athlete with the body fluidity of a much small player and the ball skills and competitive nature of a much bigger player, projecting as a high-ceiling NFL starter due to his playmaking instincts.

Kyle Crabbs | The Draft Network

WR Rank: 1

5th Overall

Scouting Report

CeeDee Lamb projects as an alpha WR in the NFL. No, he doesn’t have elite top end speed, but Lamb checks damn near every other possible box. He’s smooth with his feet, possesses elite body control, vacuum hands and is a dynamic, angry runner after the catch. Experienced in manufactured touches, boundary and slot work, Lamb should step into an offense and be comfortable filling any possible role than a coach could give him. A top-shelf WR prospect and impact starter early on.

Lance Zierlein | NFL.com

Prospect Grade: 6.81- Year one quality starter

Scouting Report

Explosive, three-level playmaker and vital cog in one of the most potent offensive machines in college football over the last three seasons. Lamb uses speed and separation quickness to dominate competition in a scheme that frequently created open throws in space. His routes will need to become more efficient and crisp to beat man-to-man coverage against NFL size and speed, but his ball skills and explosiveness with the ball in his hand should allow teams to scheme him into explosive opportunities right away. Lamb has the potential to play any of the three receiver positions as a pro and should benefit greatly from the NFL’s continued movement toward college-style passing attacks.

Bob Sturm | The Athletic

Grade: High first round

Scouting Report

Positives: I do think the biggest positive about CeeDee is, in fact, it didn’t matter who was throwing him the ball or how defenses tried to take him out of the game. He was a productive wide receiver from the moment he arrived in Norman and pretty much never slowed down. To amass over 3,200 yards and 32 touchdowns in three seasons says all you need to know. But on tape it is clear that his ball skills are elite, and he absolutely attacks the ball and then the defense with a confidence level you admire. He is so strong for his size, something that can be seen often as defenses try to corral him and contain him from another big play. He has jet sweep and swing pass ability, but he is just so scary in space. Sometimes, as Texas will confirm, he just cannot be tackled. He has nitro, too. Lots of nitro. His hips and sharpness are really impressive.

Concerns: There are a few concerns that normally go with being a Big 12 wide receiver, and the most important one is that he always was given free releases, as almost nobody challenges receivers with press coverage at that level. Of course, he may have the answer to that question, but it is obviously unknown. Also, I did see the ball come loose a bit with ball security when he is fighting for every yard, and nothing can turn a coaching staff off quite like carelessness with the ball. Nothing major, mind you, but a few rough edges.

Matt Waldman | Rookie Scouting Portfolio

Grade: Franchise Player-Should start this year and compete for a role as a leading producer in the passing game.

WR Rank: 1

Scouting Report

Lamb can play all three positions, but placing him in the slot would allow him to earn mismatches with safeties in the deep game or force a cornerback inside where Lamb will still feast on two-way opportunities. Lamb is also a physical blocker who punches, latches onto defensive backs, and turns them. His presence in the 11 personnel (3 WRs, 1 RB, and 1 TE) run game will be an asset. Lamb’s neither the biggest nor the fastest receiver in this class, but he excels as a route runner, a pass catcher, and in the open field with and without the ball in his hands.
