NFC Notes: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

Cowboys

• When asked about Cowboys QB Dak Prescott‘s contract situation, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated points out that owner Jerry Jones usually signs players he “genuinely wants to keep” and believes Prescott is “certainly in that category.”
• Although the Cowboys typically sign star players to five- or six-year extensions, Breer points out that Prescott prefers the structure of Seahawks QB Russell Wilson‘s four-year, $140,000,000 contract. 
• Over The Cap’s Nick Korte lists Cowboys G Connor Williams and WR Michael Gallup as players who are helped by the new CBA’s PPE rules and are on track to get raises in their fourth season. 

Eagles

• ESPN’s Tim McManus thinks the Eagles improved on the defensive line this offseason with the addition of DT Javon Hargrave, along with getting DTs Fletcher Cox and Malik Jackson back to full health. 
• Conversely, the Eagles got worse at linebacker, per McManus, bringing in Jatavis Brown and third-round rookie Davion Taylor to offset the loss of Nigel Bradham and Kamu Grugier-Hill.
• McManus says the same is true at safety, where the Eagles will rely on converted CB Jalen Mills, fourth-round rookie K’Von Wallace and free-agent Will Parks to replace S Malcolm Jenkins. 
• McManus notes the addition of CBs Darius Slay and Nickell Robey-Coleman should dramatically improve the Eagles’ cornerback group, though.
