Cowboys News: Aikman speaks, rivals making necessary changes, free agency targets

The Cowboys’ division rivals are starting to take action, altering their coaching staffs and thereby philosophies and schemes. Hires within the division will challenge the Dallas coaching staff, will they force America’s Team to shift their strategy?

The first Mel Kiper mock draft of the season is finally upon us. His picks for the NFC East may be an indication that fireworks are in store for next season. Often forgotten, primarily because of Dallas’ normal plan of inaction, free agency comes first. Will any of the free-agent runners in this class be on the Cowboys roster?

The impact, or lack thereof, of the 2023 rookie class is in stark contrast to the success of another NFC team which made the championship game. All that and more in this edition of Cowboys News and Notes.
