News: Cowboys ‘playing chicken’ with Prescott, coronavirus roster impact, Daniel Jones on Romo diet

Also, a rival studies the Romo era on tape, Dallas’s positional strengths, betting Ezekiel Elliott’s TD total, and a scheduling oddity.

On May 13 the news of the day should be stories from rookie minicamp that just recently wrapped up at The Star in Frisco, with an eye toward the OTAs about to get underway. Instead, Cowboys Nation is still stuck in football limbo: obsessing over the starting quarterback’s contract, predicting the outcomes of the scheduled games, and wondering how the players on paper will actually play on the field… when they get there… eventually.

For now, a Cowboys icon wades into the Dak Deal Debate, we take a peek at which players might see their Cowboys tenure cut short by the financial realities of the coronavirus, and several positional groups go under the microscope. There are guesses on wins and losses, and an interesting prop bet on how many times Zeke will get fed a touchdown. We’re talking jersey sales, 88 artwork, an undrafted gem, crazy consistency stats, and a scheduling quirk with the Cowboys chasing bird-beating history. Oh, and an NFC East rival remaking themselves in Dallas’s image has even taken to studying Tony Romo on tape. Plenty to keep the football fires burning in this edition of News and Notes.
