Cowboys News: Franchise tag hint, WR confession, Marriott specifies claims against Irvin

Stephen Jones drops clues about upcoming tag strategy and some truth about last year’s WR mess; new details in the Michael Irvin case. | From @ToddBrock24f7

It’s combine week, and that means the Joneses will have hot mics shoved in their faces… and that means there will be headlines. On Monday, it was Stephen dropping hints about what the Cowboys will do about the franchise tag this offseason, admitting that the club was way off the mark in how they addressed the WR room after Amari Cooper’s departure, and even laying the groundwork for a Dak Prescott contract extension. There will no doubt be much more to come from Indianapolis once Jerry gets to town and invites the Cowboys media aboard his bus.

We’ve got ex-Cowboys staffers being announced to their new teams, a year-end list that’s seemingly super-heavy on NFC East rivals, a familiar-sounding complaint about why the Cowboys’ first Super Bowl was such a blooperfest, and new details about what supposedly happened with Michael Irvin in that hotel lobby in Phoenix. News and Notes, coming right up…
