Of the many, many decisions the Cowboys have to make this offseason, how to fix the running game has to be near the top of the list. While Ezekiel Elliott had another down year and suddenly looks like more of a drain on the team’s wallet than an offensive workhorse capable of carrying the team, conventional wisdom says his contract makes him untouchable in 2022. But, as they say, desperate times…
Also in the news, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a deep connection to this year’s Super Bowl, even though his team is watching from home. And two of the franchise’s past quarterbacks recall their very early glimpses of one of this year’s title-game passers. Micah Parsons is still picking up awards for his rookie season even as he’s already looking ahead to next year, there’s news about both an outgoing Cowboys staffer and a former assistant coach, we’ve got mock drafts to dissect, and America’s Team rakes it in at the cash register once again. All that, plus birthday wishes for the Wolf Hunter and re-telling a forgotten story from the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry. That’s all up next in News and Notes.
