The expectations are sky-high in Frisco these days. With just two days of OTAs under their belts, the Cowboys are optimistic about where they’re headed. Dak Prescott is looking for a big year from Ezekiel Elliott, CeeDee Lamb is tracking toward a monster year in his new role, and DeMarcus Lawrence wants the team’s sackmaster crown back. Even second-year player Chauncey Golston is aiming for new heights with increased responsibilities to go along with his increased mass this season.
But elsewhere, there are still questions. Like, what actually happened to James Washington to put him in a walking boot? Who is the most underappreciated player on the team? Which games on this year’s schedule look to be the most problematic for Prescott? Could an undrafted rookie catapult himself onto the depth chart at running back? And should the Cowboys look into swinging a late trade for an AFC-champion safety? All that, plus what Mike McCarthy hopes to get out of three intersquad practices this summer, and why one player’s relocation of just a few feet within the locker room could prove to be the biggest move of the Cowboys’ entire offseason. That’s all up next in News and Notes.
