The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott seem to be in a situation like that the L.A. Rams and Jared Goff were in before the Rams dealt Goff to the Detroit Lions. Could Prescott be headed down a path similar to that taken by Goff? The Dallas Cowboys selected Dak Prescott out of Mississippi State in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Although the Cowboys’ plan was for Prescott to serve as backup to Tony Romo in 2016, Romo suffered a vertebral fracture in a preseason game, and Prescott was named the starter for the regular season opener. After his injury,…
The Philadelphia Eagles cut the following four players on Monday, according to the NFL’s official transaction report: DT Noah Elliss WR/TE Griffin Hebert CB Tiawan Mullen OL Lecitus Smith They are all subject to waivers, so, we’ll soon see if they get claimed. All four players were fighting uphill battles to make the 53-man roster. Elliss may have had the best chance to make the team since the Eagles could some use more depth at nose tackle. But apparently not. Prior to these cuts, the Eagles had 78 players on their roster (including Mekhi Becton, who OFFICIALLY signed on Monday) … PLUS nine unsigned…

Rouse originally committed to Nebraska out of the portal before flipping to Oklahoma, in part because of Sooners assistant Bill Bedenbaugh’s track record of developing offensive linemen for…
The NY Jets will have a new-look quarterback room in 2024, and that’s not just because of the return of Aaron Rodgers. The Jets have a new backup QB, Tyrod Taylor, and a young developmental third-stringer in fifth-round pick Jordan Travis. That’s not all, however. The Jets have reportedly agreed to terms with former West Florida quarterback Byron “Peewee” Jarrett on an undrafted free-agent contract. Jarrett joins Rodgers, Taylor, and Travis in the Jets’ quarterback room and should provide much-needed depth with the latter still recovering from a broken leg he suffered in November of last year.
