Day 3 of 2022 free agency discussions turned out to be a microcosm of Joneses tenure at the helm of the Dallas Cowboys .

Za’Darius Smith was another name that went off the board for a potential replacement after the Randy Gregory nightmare. Right in the center of it all is defensive end Demarcus Lawrence, whose reworked contract opened the door for a reload and looked bleak early in discussion according to the Boise State product.

The Cowboys spent the first day of players being able to sign their deals with no new news to speak of. Here are the rest of the News and Notes.
