Cowboys News: Diggs’ pivotal season, Joneses and McCarthy hold court at camp

Details from the Cowboys training camp press conference, players to watch in Oxnard and what’s next for the young defensive stars in Dallas. @CDBurnett7 delivers news and notes from Tuesday.

Dallas Cowboys 2022 training camp is officially kicking into gear. After another classic press conference for team owner Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones and Mike McCarthy, we have a closer look at their feelings before the players take the field in Oxnard.

Jerry Jones never wastes his opportunity in front of the mic and that held true on Tuesday, doubling down on the questionable offseason moves and stating the team is in a better place than it was a year ago. Jones admitted he knew that there would be turnover following 2021, because of contracts. So what does that all mean for Trevon Diggs, and is the corner deserving of a big deal after this season, especially if a big contract for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is also in play?

Coming off his Defensive Rookie of the Year season, McCarthy says Micah Parsons is leaner and still looking to improve, potentially earning the Defensive Player of the Year billing after earning second place in voting for 2021. Who will be the training camp MVP? What former Cowboy receiver could be making his return? These answers and more in the latest News and Notes.
