NFC Notes: Commanders, Cowboys, Giants

Commanders

  • Albert Breer of SI.com has heard that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos would be as interested, if not more so, in buying the Seahawks than the Commanders.
  • According to Breer, the Commanders didnโ€™t plan to draft a quarterback last year, but Sam Howell was graded so much higher than anyone left on their board that they felt they had to grab him in round five.
  • Even so, Breer expects the Commanders to study the quarterbacks hard in the draft this year.
  • Nicki Jhabvala reports the Commanders are interviewing former University of Colorado HC Karl Dorrell for their receivers coach job. 

Cowboys

  • Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy thinks former OC Kellen Moore โ€œdid an excellent jobโ€ during his time in Dallas but thinks that โ€œchange is healthy every few yearsโ€ and it was best to part ways: โ€œI just felt this was a good time to make that change,โ€  via Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
  • McCarthy said they will continue building their offense around Dak Prescott: โ€œWe feel strongly about his future, and weโ€™ll definitely build this thing around him,โ€ per Jon Machota of The Athletic. 
  • McCarthy felt their offense could use a โ€œnew voiceโ€ going forward and Prescott is excited about a โ€œnew challengeโ€ ahead of next season: โ€œWe all could use a new voice. We all could use a sense of motivation, challenge, and so forth. This is a new challenge for him, these are his words; heโ€™s very excited about it. Heโ€™s had a chance to go from the different variations of the offense that was in place, heโ€™s getting ready to take another turn as far as the variation of what weโ€™re getting ready to do. Weโ€™re going to build it off of what he has established,โ€ via the Dallas Morning Newsโ€™ Calvin Watkins.

Giants

Giants GM Joe Schoen and HC Brian Daboll plan on targeting wide receivers who have the ability to create separation this offseason.

โ€œ(Dabes) wants guys who can separate. If you can separate, no matter how tall, short, or wide, if you can separate, weโ€™ll find a way to use them within the offense whether itโ€™s outside, inside, or slot. Thatโ€™s one of the unique skills that Daboll has is taking the players and the skill set that he has and developing the offense around their skill set,โ€ Schoen told reporters, via GiantsWire.com.
