It’s the time of year when anything is possible… if only to fill the vacuum of actual football news. For instance, Ezekiel Elliott’s people say they plan to work the combine, looking for a big-money contract promise from another team before they start talking dollars and cents with Dallas. And cornerback Trevon Diggs has started a social media blitz in an attempt to get the Cowboys to buy his superstar brother Stefon’s way out of Buffalo. Sure, it’s all worth dreaming about in mid-February.
Elsewhere, the Eagles’ tush-push quarterback sneak was effective enough that the Cowboys should consider adding it to their playbook, but the rugby-style scrum could also just as easily be banned by the league before next season. Dak Prescott’s right hand is part of a cool art sale benefiting his foundation, Troy Aikman tells it like it is regarding the club’s wide receiving corps, and the Cowboys bolster their coaching staff with two new assistants who have Texas football roots. All that, plus Prescott weighs in on life without Kellen Moore, a look at the Cowboys’ evergreen youth movement, and a franchise icon mourns the passing of his father. Here’s the News and Notes.
