They say the backup quarterback is the most popular guy on any team. But in Dallas, the backup offensive tackle is always right at the top of everybody’s mind, too. With the injuries that have beset the Cowboys line in recent years, the club will look carefully at who fills the all-important swing role in 2022. Thankfully, they have several options.
Meanwhile, a defensive lineman departs, a former Cowboys pass rusher may be on the trading block, and an undrafted safety has seen his time with the team come to an abrupt end. We’re waiting for a popular project player to finally step into the spotlight, a rookie recognizes the honor of a jersey number, and the home of the Cowboys may be welcoming a different kind of football on the world stage. All that, plus changes coming to Monday Night Football, exploring whether the Cowboys’ crypto deal is really a good thing for the casual fan, and one list puts Cowboys Nation in rather infamous company. That’s all ahead in News and Notes.
