Cowboys

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters that he plans to keep WR George Pickens in Dallas for a long time.

“I’m talking to George all the time by virtue of my excitement for him,” Jones said, via the team’s official website. “He’s better than, as far as what he contributed to our team, showing the potential that he could contribute. I’m looking forward to getting things worked out so George can be a Cowboy a long time.”

Eagles

Eagles WR A.J. Brown sounded excited about new OC Sean Mannion on a recent episode of Micah Parsons podcast. He also seemed careful not to make any negative comments about former OC Kevin Patullo.
