Cowboys | Two tight ends making good impression Mon May 4, 12:40 AM
Dallas Cowboys TE Michael Trigg and TE DJ Rogers made positive impressions at rookie minicamp, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I'm really excited about those two young men adding into a group that I feel is maybe one of the more stable positions on our roster,' Schottenheimer said.
| Footballguys view: According to Footballguy Sigmund Bloom, Trigg has the pass-catching skills and athletic ability to matter in fantasy football, but off-field concerns made him fall out of the draft. He landed in the right organization to have room to straighten out. If he makes the team -- or another team poaches him off Dallas' practice squad -- put a pin in Trigg's name, especially in tight end premium leagues. Rogers, meanwhile, can do just enough in both the receiving and blocking game to maintain a role in the league over the long term, but is off of fantasy radars for now. |
Cowboys | Zach Switzer thankful for invitation Sun May 3, 01:48 PM
Presbyterian RB Zach Switzer was grateful for a chance to take part in a rookie minicamp this week. The practices are not padded, and mostly about learning the playbook and going through individual drills. 'I'm super grateful, super honored, and super blessed to have the opportunity to be able to do something like this and achieve one of my dreams,' he said. 'And until [making a team], I'm just going to keep telling them I'm grateful for the opportunity.'
Link to story Cowboys | George Pickens Unlikely to Show Up for Voluntary Work Sun May 3, 09:56 AM
George Pickens didn't show up for voluntary workouts this past week. Pickens likely won't show up to organized team activities next month, either. Signing his franchise tag, as he did Wednesday, does mean that Pickens will have to show up for mandatory minicamp from June 16-18 or face fines that the team can't waive. Players who miss all three days of minicamp could be fined a maximum total of $93,085.
| Footballguys view: According to Dallas Morning News staffer Joseph Hoyt, that's the next tipping point when it comes to the Cowboys and Pickens. The Cowboys have been adamant this offseason that they won't trade Pickens after he had a breakout season last year, finishing with career highs in catches (93), yards (1,429), and touchdowns (nine). Signing the franchise tag, Pickens is locked into a one-year, $27.3 million deal. He and the Cowboys have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term deal, but the Cowboys have already indicated that they don't plan to negotiate a deal beyond this year. We'll continue to monitor. |

Dallas Cowboys OT Drew Shelton's potential had members of the coaching staff pushing to select Shelton on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, a team source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. 'Only so few humans can play tackle in the NFL, and he's one of them,' the source said.
Link to story Cowboys | WR George Pickens Signs His Franchise Tender Wed Apr 29, 05:47 PM
George Pickens has signed the franchise tag, a source told ESPN.com's Todd Archer.
| Footballguys view: While there was a delay, we were told this would happen last week, it's done now. Pickens will make a guaranteed $27.3 million this season, and he will report to the mandatory minicamp in June and training camp or be subject to fines. It also opens up the possibility of Pickens being traded, although the Cowboys say that won't happen. Assuming he isn't traded, Pickens' Footballguys projection, WR13, is plenty reasonable considering his WR5 finish last season. |

Free-agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Steelers) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, April 27, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Valdes-Scantling appeared in 10 regular-season games with the 49ers and Steelers last season, finishing with a combined 14 catches for 120 yards and one touchdown. The 31-year-old is joining his fifth team in the last two years and will attempt to win a job with Dallas this summer. He'll compete with Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo, and others behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. |

Cowboys | George Pickens has not signed yet Mon Apr 27, 01:12 PM
Dallas Cowboys franchise free-agent WR George Pickens has not signed his tender offer at this point.
| Footballguys view: ESPN.com's Todd Archer added in the replies to his initial post that the news isn't that Pickens is refusing to sign, just that he hasn't yet. Once he does, Pickens will make a guaranteed $27.3 million this season, and he will report to the mandatory minicamp in June and training camp or be subject to fines. It also opens up the possibility of Pickens being traded, although the Cowboys say that won't happen. For now, as The Sporting News suggests, this is a situation where the timeline is wonky, but the outcome may still be fine. Stay tuned for more. |
Cowboys | Michael Trigg headed for Metroplex Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Baylor TE Michael Trigg is signing as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys, a source said Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: Trigg has all of the requisite passcatching and athletic talent to matter in fantasy football if he can ever earn a shot to play on Sundays. His lack of maturity and numerous off-field incidents made him fall out of the draft, but the Cowboys are a great organization for a malcontent to find his game - just ask George Pickens. Trigg's high ceiling is worth selecting in the late rounds of rookie drafts, and will be an easy drop that opens up a spot to take a shot on another young talent if he doesn't make the practice squad. |
