NFC East Notes: Cowboys, Giants, Redskins

Cowboys

• According to NFL Media’s Jane Slater, former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is working out at a facility near Dallas headquarters and not officially working out for the team. 
• Bryant has texted Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones asking for a workout. Jones acknowledged he had received the text but no workout has been scheduled yet. 
• Slater notes that last year the Cowboys brought up the question six times during team meetings of whether QB Dak Prescott was “their guy.”
• She adds, however, that new Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy believes he can make Prescott great. 

Giants

• NJ.com’s Matt Lombardo and Zack Rosenblatt identify Bears LB Nick Kwiatkoski and Patriots LB Jamie Collins as potential free-agent targets for the Giants to shore up their linebacking corps. 
• They also mention LSU LB Patrick Queen near the top of the second round or Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons with the No. 4 overall pick as potential ways to address the position in the draft. 
• Both seem to think the Giants will release LB Alec Ogletree to save $8.25 million in cap space. 

Redskins

• Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline writes both Redskins HC Ron Rivera and owner Daniel Snyder are on the same page about drafting Ohio State DE Chase Young at No. 2 overall. 
• Pauline adds a source told him Redskins LT Trent Williams will return to the team because of Rivera. 
• The Athletic’s Ben Standig identifies Redskins LB Cole Holcomb as a potential breakout candidate after a strong rookie season. 
• Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan is much more likely to be extended than to be released, as he’s one of Snyder’s favorite players. (John Keim)
• Keim mentions one talent evaluator thinks the Redskins could get a third or fourth-round pick in exchange for CB Quinton Dunbar.
• Keim says Redskins OT Morgan Moses won’t be on the hot seat until 2021, when Washington will be able to save $7.75 million by moving on. For now, he’s safe.
