Cowboys News: A lightning-fast LB, the Prescott bargain, hints at Week 1 schedule

Linebacker might not be a pressing need, but the Cowboys love drafting them, and now there’s one who’s even faster than Micah Parsons. | From @ToddBrock24f7

With so many holes around the roster, linebacker doesn’t seem to be the most pressing need for Dallas in this draft. But historically speaking, they do love drafting the position. And now there’s a prospect on the scene who’s turning in 40 times that are actually faster than Micah Parsons’s from a year ago.

Jerry Jones seemed to say he’d be open to trading up early, but he kept things vague by citing an example when he clearly didn’t do that. And ESPN’s draft guru is going out on his own limb to mock two prospects to the Cowboys that don’t fit at all with the breadcrumbs being left behind. Jones made his major business announcement on Wednesday, the Cowboys are making quite a few jersey changes, and the latest quarterback deals are already making Dak Prescott look like a bargain. All that, plus one former Cowboys coach is getting the call once again, and another is joining social media by memorializing one of his assistants. And could a concert date signal a road trip for the Cowboys to start the ’22 season? That’s all ahead in News and Notes.
