Cowboys News: Road opener against Rams anticipated, PI challenges on way out

As two Cowboys are honored for their outstanding play over years, the NFL’s All-Decade team was announced amid changes to the draft process.

There are only 16 days until the 2020 NFL draft is upon the world and it will be remarkably different than any draft before it. Coaches and executives are tasked with finding new methods of communication during one of the biggest weekends of the NFL season. How will trades be made without 20-line phones at GMs disposal? How will player value be debated when one has to use a Zoom conference to discuss things with their coaches and scouts? The time between picks still hasn’t been altered, yet.

Meanwhile, two Cowboys lineman made the 2010’s All-Decade team. While Zack Martin and Tyron Smith were easy selections to the team, should Travis Frederick have joined his comrades on the team?

All that and much more in our Cowboys News and Notes.
