News: Dak Prescott deadline quickly approaches, Cowboys world not standing still

All things news and notes for the Dallas Cowboys on July 14, 2020.

It’s Wednesday morning and the Dak Prescott contract deadline, at least for this year, is just hours away. With varying reports of communication, or lack thereof between the two sides, it’s still a mystery how things will play out.

In other news, Prescott’s wide receiving options are the best in the business, a mock draft has the team in the market for yet another weapon and running back Ezekiel Elliott is giving back. There’s also a look at a new Cowboy getting in some off-field work as well as some young guns trying on their new gear.

No contact between camp Dak and the Front Office

Several people have reported exactly this, that the team trying to get Prescott paid and the team that gets Prescott’s play haven’t spoken about a new deal and that a final offer has long been presented. While that’s certainly discouraging, it’s not exactly foreign territory for this front office.

Prescott’s camp has been in contact with Cowboys’ brass

Or maybe there has been.

Bryan Broaddus, former scout and contributor at the Cowboys’ site has heard otherwise. There’s been instances in the past of Broaddus getting information from folks in high places, but whether this is true or not remains to be seen.

The man who has half as many suspensions as he does career sacks is still waiting on reinstatement. A report Monday claimed the Cowboys had given up hope he would suit up in 2020, but Todd Archer indicates the exact opposite. To what extent Gregory would be involved with the team is unknown, but it may just be to foster a healthy environment for the human, not just the player.

It’s always Donovan Wilson season here at the Cowboys Wire and now Bleacher Report names Wilson as the biggest sleeper on the team.

A quarterback can never have too many weapons. This mock draft has a tight end who’s garnering high praise heading to Dallas. Whether or not this would be the wisest use of resources, but maybe head coach Mike McCarthy is a charter member of team forty-burger.
