As the days go by and it gets closer and closer to NFL training camp, more protocols and league changes make their way to the players. There will be no interaction between players after the clock reads zero and no jerseys will be exchanged in 2020. Naturally this set off plenty of NFL players in finding that this ruling is just plain silly after 60 minutes of aggressive contact.
While the NFL off-season calendar remains quiet, the media continues to jot down their lists and start to rank some of the premier positions in the league. Of course these lists come with their flaws and sometimes even intrigue some players to chime in once in a while if they don’t agree. The Cowboys are ranked in the top ten when it comes to being one of the NFL’s most complete teams in the league headed into 2020 and one prediction even has them as the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC. The closer training camp gets, the more these lists and rankings can start to gain some steam. This is today’s Cowboys news.
