More blockbuster splashes were made around the NFL on Thursday, but the Cowboys elected to stay in the shallow end of the pool. Perhaps the most important bit of business was the signing (for real this time) of a veteran defensive end on the upswing. The team also announced the long-expected release of one of their longtime offensive linemen, who wasted no time in hopping a plane to meet with new suitors. One key playmaker spoke about his return to Dallas, while another is still waiting for his deal to come together. And one of free agency’s bigger names is still in the mix after doing a 180 on his former club.
Also in the news, a former fan favorite is back on the open market, we look at the biggest free agents still floating around, the Cowboys (along with everyone else) show major interest in the Georgia Bulldogs, and why Dallas not showing up on one particular set of rankings is a good thing. That’s all ahead in News and Notes.
