NFC East Notes: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Redskins

Cowboys

Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said WR Amari Cooper and QB Dak Prescott are โ€œprobably at the forefront right nowโ€ for long-term extension candidates and said Dallas could get sign two players โ€œat the same timeโ€ if possible.

โ€œYou know what, thatโ€™s probably unfair to say just because we can get two done at the same time if they fell right,โ€ Jones said, via David Moore of the Dallas Morning News. โ€œI mean, these things donโ€™t have to be one at a time.โ€

Jones added that there is no particular โ€œpecking orderโ€ between Cooper, Prescott, RB Ezekiel Elliott, or CB Byron Jones.

โ€œI donโ€™t think thatโ€™s fair to say there has to be a pecking order. We can work on two, three, four at the same time if it makes sense.โ€

Eagles

Giants

  • Ralph Vacchiano, citing multiple league sources, reports that there is โ€œno indicationโ€ that the Cardinals have placed QB Josh Rosen on the trade block, although they are โ€œcertainly expectedโ€ to do so. 
  • According to Vacchiano, it is unclear how the Giants grade Rosen compared to the quarterbacks available in the 2019 NFL Draft. 
  • Vacchiano says that the Giantsโ€™ biggest issue with Rosen is his โ€œpersonalityโ€ and that he can act โ€œarrogant or prickly at times.โ€
  • Regarding what the Giants would trade for Rosen, Vacchiano mentions that New York has โ€œno interestโ€ in parting with the No. 6 or No. 17 overall picks, while the No. 37 pick in the second round still might be โ€œtoo highโ€ for the Giants to give up. 
  • New York does not think their No. 95 overall pick in the third-round would be enough to land Rosen in a trade, which is why itโ€™s difficult for him to see a trade working out between the two teams. 
  • ESPNโ€™s Jordan Raanan believes Houston DT Ed Oliver and Mississippi State DE Montez Sweat are the two most likely options for the Giants with the No. 6 pick. 
  • Ranaan says the Giants donโ€™t appear to be high on Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins, making quarterback unlikely at that slot. 

Redskins

  • ESPNโ€™s John Keim believes a first-round pick would be too high for the Redskins to part with for QB Josh Rosen
  • However, Keim says a third-round pick is a โ€œno-brainerโ€ and a second-round pick should also not be a deterrent to acquiring Rosen. 
  • According to NFL Mediaโ€™s Mike Garafolo, the Redskins arenโ€™t โ€œactively chasingโ€ Rosen and Garafolo gets the sense Rosen wonโ€™t be traded until after the draft. 
  • Northwestern QB Clayton Thorson visited the Redskins Wednesday. (Tom Pelissero)
