There’s still plenty of time to make predictions about how the 2022 season will unfold for the Dallas Cowboys. Right now, it all seems possible (both good and bad). For instance, one outlet says to keep an eye on backup running back Tony Pollard; this could be the year that gets him his first Pro Bowl nod. Another says Mike McCarthy probably isn’t going anywhere, regardless of which would-be head coaches are waiting in the wings.
What we do know is it all starts with training camp; we’ve got a full schedule for Oxnard. Elsewhere, center Tyler Biadasz has an unexpected perspective on watching the team’s playoff loss to the 49ers five months later, former wideout Amari Cooper makes his full-uniform debut in orange and brown, and ESPN places the Cowboys’ roster squarely in the middle of the pack. All that, plus how Jerry Jones’s tenure stacks up against the league’s other general managers, the surprising evolution of the larger-than-life figure once called Neon Deion, and could fullbacks be making comebacks across the NFL? That’s all ahead in News and Notes.
