Testing Bradley Chubb’s fit"},"content":{"rendered":"

The franchise tag window is set to open, and, seemingly right on time, there’s drama in Dallas about a star player who may be eligible for it. While wide receiver George Pickens is widely expected to be tagged by the front office, there’s no telling whether Cowboys management is in a big hurry to make it official… or if they’ll do it at all. Word leaked Monday that the Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro was disciplined during the course of the season for being late to meetings and the like. On the surface, that wouldn’t seem to be a huge deal- especially considering the monster production Pickens delivered on the field- but some observers are wondering if the bad-mouthing from the brass has already begun in an effort to impact the big-money negotiations.<\/p>\n

A few veteran names are being mentioned as possibilities for the Cowboys, as Dolphins<\/a> pass rusher Bradley Chubb finds himself on the market ahead of free agency and Browns<\/a> linebacker Devin Bush is expected to be on the hunt for a new team soon. Meanwhile, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell came up with a somewhat bizarre trade suggestion, wondering if the Cowboys would deal Kenny Clark away… for next to nothing in return.<\/p>\n

Remember Joe DeCamillis? The onetime Cowboys special teams coordinator left Dallas in 2012 and made stops in Chicago, Denver, Jacksonville, and L.A. before heading back to the college ranks, Now he’s back in the NFL- with the Raiders<\/a> this time- as the coaching carousel spins on. The Super Bowl champs have a new offensive coordinator, the Browns have a new defensive coordinator, and a Seahawks<\/a> assistant hits the jackpot with a major promotion in Vegas.<\/p>\n

Around the league, the NFL is mourning the untimely passing of veteran offensive lineman Tre Johnson, the Dolphins have started a massive housecleaning by releasing Tyreek Hill, and Browns safety Ronnie Hickman was attacked in a New York City hotel. And will we be waiting all offseason for… Wednesday night?!? The NFL appears ready to move opening night up 24 hours for the 2026 season, with the Cowboys still among the teams that could be in play.<\/p>\n
