Cowboys

  • The Dallas Cowboys were unwilling to give up two first-rounders for Raiders DE Maxx Crosby: “Raiders are talking to a lot of people. But we would not give up two first-rounders.” (Jane Salter)
  • The Cowboys converted $23.25 million of WR CeeDee Lamb‘s salary into a signing bonus, creating $18.6 million of 2026 cap space. (Spotrac)
  • Per Todd Archer, the Cowboys were in the mix for LB Quay Walker before he signed with the Raiders.
  • The Cowboys signed DE Sam Williams to a one-year, $2.5 million deal that includes $1 million guaranteed, a $600,000 signing bonus, a $1.4 million fully guaranteed salary, $29,412 per-game active roster bonuses, and $500,000 in playtime and playoff incentives, bringing the maximum value of the deal to $3 million. (Wilson)
  • Jane Slater reports there isn’t much going on with the Cowboys right now, but they continue their due diligence on CB Riq Woolen.

Eagles

  • Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice brought up potential trades the Eagles could explore this offseason that do not include WR A.J. Brown.
  • First, Kempski mentions sending QB Tanner McKee to the Jets for a 2027 conditional third-round pick. Because McKee only has one year remaining on his contract, Kempski thinks they could explore a trade to get something in return before he hits the market.
  • Next, Kempski trades S Sydney Brown to the Dolphins for CB JuJu Brents, as he doesn’t think Brown has the recognition skills to continue being a major contributor in the secondary.
  • Finally, Kempski mocks the Eagles acquiring Raiders TE Michael Mayer for a fifth-round pick because of their “severe need for tight ends.” 
  • CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports the Eagles are expected to hire Army DL coach Allen Smith as an assistant OLBs coach.
  • Tony Pauline of EssentiallySports, citing people attending the NFL Combine, reports that there is no mutual interest between the Eagles and Chargers OL Mekhi Becton, who was recently cut. 
  • Pauline writes that Becton’s decision to fire his agent “raised red flags” for Philadelphia. 
  • Pauline’s sources at the combine say that former OL coach Jeff Stoutland‘s departure from the Eagles has made them increasingly skeptical about Becton returning.
