Keith Davis - DB -


Saints signed restricted free agent safety Keith Davis to a two-year offer sheet.
The deal would pay Davis a $1.2 million signing bonus and let him earn $2.1 million in 2006. He was scheduled to make $712,000 with the Cowboys. Davis is a natural strong safety who was forced to start 15 games at free safety last season. The Cowboys have seven days to match the offer. Apr. 10

[SVite]

Terrell Owens - WR - Cowboys


Terrell Owens has not been a regular participant in the Cowboys off-season training program.
Bill Parcells could already be getting annoyed. While T.O. will obviously be in good condition, Parcells expects players to be at the voluntary sessions for team building. "He is here when he is required to be here just like every other player on the team," publicist Kim Etheredge said. Apr. 14 -

[SVite]

Keith Davis - DB - Cowboys


The Cowboys matched a two-year, $3.1 million offer sheet for safety Keith Davis.
Davis signed the offer with the Saints, but the Cowboys decided to keep their projected starting free safety. Dallas may beef up the position via the draft as well. Apr. 14

[SVite]

Keith Davis - DB - Cowboys


The Saints reportedly included a provision in safety Keith Davis' offer sheet guaranteed a certain amount of snaps in their base defense.
Yet another 'posion pill', although not as ridiculous as the Seattle-Minnesota brouhaha.

[SVite]

Lousaka Polite - RB - Cowboys


Cowboys re-signed FB Lousake Polite to a one-year contract.
The exclusive rights free agent had no choice but to return. He should start at fullback again for Dallas.

[SVite]

Drew Henson - QB - Cowboys


Drew Henson completed 17-of-28 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns in a Rhein Fire loss Sunday.
It was Rhein's first loss of the season. Henson has played pretty well after a slow start in NFL Europe. Apr. 17

[SVite]

Marcus Coleman - DB - DAL - Apr. 18 -

Cowboys have agreed to terms on a contract with safety Marcus Coleman, formerly of the Texans.
Coleman was drafted by Bill Parcells in New York. If the Tuna can revive Aaron Glenn's career, Coleman should be no problem. With Keith Davis also retained, Dallas doesn't have a huge need at free safety in the draft.

Marcus Coleman - DB - DAL - Apr. 18 -

Cowboys have agreed to terms on a contract with safety Marcus Coleman, formerly of the Texans.
Coleman was drafted by Bill Parcells in New York. If the Tuna can revive Aaron Glenn's career, Coleman should be no problem. With Keith Davis also retained, Dallas doesn't have a huge need at free safety in the draft.
Coleman went to Richardson Lake Highlands( and later to Tech) glad to see him stay in Texas.

[SVite]

Skyler Green - WR - Cowboys


Coach Bill Parcells would like to tab Skyler Green as his return specialist, but "he's too fat right now."
"I'm not kidding," Parcells insisted. May. 5

[SVite]

Drew Henson - QB - Cowboys


Cowboys coach Bill Parcells gave Drew Henson a tepid endorsement based on his NFL Europe play.
Parcells went on a diatribe about not knowing the European weather well, then said, "It looked like he's made some improvement there." We're pretty confident Henson is no longer seen as the quarterback of the future in Dallas. May. 5

[SVite]

Terrell Owens - WR - Cowboys


Bill Parcells said he supported the acquisition of Terrell Owens.
"We make decisions collectively as an organization ... I support whatever decisions we make. I was part of it and I continue to be part of it," Parcells said. "I don't view it as a gamble. It's in my best interest that he's successful. It's in his best interest to be successful." Parcells mentioned Owens will have to adjust to a non West Coast offense. "A receiver is not going to catch 100 balls in this offense. Its just not going to happen." May. 5

[SVite]

Julius Jones - RB - Cowboys


Bill Parcells denied a rumor Dallas shopped RB Julius Jones on draft day.
Jones ran for 100 yards just once and suffered a high ankle sprain last season. He should see the majority of carries this year, including near the goal line, but Marion Barber will steal touches. May. 6

[SVite]

Drew Henson - QB - Cowboys


Rhein Fire QB Drew Henson injured his MCL Saturday.
"I've never had a knee injury before," said the former Columbus Clipper. Henson is not expected to miss any time and should be around for training camp. May. 7

[SVite]

Greg Ellis - DL - Cowboys


Cowboys DE Greg Ellis will seek a trade or release if his role on the team doesn't change.
Ellis is getting paid well, but wants to play more and feels the 3-4 defense doesn't suit him. He's a situation pass rusher. He'll meet with Jerry Jones at June minicamp, but the owner has an emotial attachment to keeping the '98 first-round pick

[SVite]

Mike Vanderjagt - K - Cowboys


Mike Vanderjagt is likely to perform his own kickoff duties in 2006.
Bill Parcells historically hasn't used a roster spot on a specialist. "Bill (Polian) brought in a dozen guys that didn't kick off any better than I did," Vanderjagt said. "He just got in too deep and couldn't admit he was wrong."

[SVite]

Jason Witten - TE - Cowboys


The Cowboys would like to re-sign Jason Witten, Roy Williams, and Bradie James before training camp.
All three become free agents after the 2006 season. Williams is probably the key figure here because Dallas has replacements in hand for Witten and James should they leave.

[SVite]

Former Cowboys fullback Robert Thomas hadn't stepped foot in Texas Stadium in nearly four years, but was rather nostalgic on Thursday returning as a member of the Georgia Force, which practiced there in preparation for Saturday's playoff game against the Desperados.

Former Dallas Cowboys running back coach Brodsky dies in Fla.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-obit-brodsky&prov=ap&type=lgns

[TexasRed6x]

LOL i figured some one might like that cowboys update!;)
Yeah and I was your man.:D

[slorch]

brodsky was one of the "behind the scenes" reasons for Dallas' success in the 90's. Emmitt stood up for him at one point when they were looking elsewhere for a new RB coach. Moose also has had some good comments about the fatherly nature Joe had with that RB corps on those great Cowboy teams.

[SVite]

E.J. Whitley - G - Cowboys


Cowboys G E.J. Whitley, a seventh-round pick in the 2006 draft, will miss the 2006 with a torn ACL.
Whitley, a Texas Tech product who was converting to guard, was going to be used for depth in Dallas. He was the 224th player chosen overall.

[SVite]

Kalen Thornton - LB - Cowboys


Cowboys released LB Kalen Thornton.
He missed all of last season with a knee injury.

[SVite]

Demetris Summers - RB - Cowboys


Cowboys signed RB Demetris Summers.
Because he's a tailback, we have to pay attention. The former prep school and S. Carolina stud has had troubles with marijuana on the past, but will compete for a roster spot as a fourth running back in Dallas.

[SVite]

Demetris Summers - RB - Cowboys


Cowboys RB Demetris Summers was late to his first day of Cowboys practice.
Not a good way to win a roster spot. "We will see how he does here. He is day-to-day. I mean that. He is day to day," coach Bill Parcells said. "I think he understands. He was late for the first day of the job so he needs to understand."

[SVite]

Drew Henson - QB - Cowboys


Cowboys coach Bill Parcells wasn't impressed with Drew Henson's NFL Europe performance.
"I was hoping for a little more to tell you the truth. You look for a general something but hey, we got a camp here and we got another camp this summer and we'll go forward from there and hopefully that leads to improvement," coach Bill Parcells said. Henson's roster spot appears safe for now.

[SVite]

Kevin Burnett - LB - Cowboys


LB Kevin Burnett will not practice during minicamp.
Burnett, a second-round pick last year, suffered a torn ACL in the 2005 season finale.

[SVite]

Shaun Suisham - K - Cowboys


The Cowboys are reportedly expected to cut Shaun Suisham.
Mike Vanderjagt will handle Dallas' kick-off duties. Suisham is considered a candidate to eventually land in Atlanta to compete.

[SVite]

Rocky Boiman - LB - Cowboys


Rocky Boiman is currently working with the Cowboys' first-team defense.
The former Titan lined up on the outside opposite DeMarcus Ware. Boiman figures to be challenged by rookie Bobby Carpenter and Al Singleton, who was absent from practice Saturday.

[SVite]

Keith Davis - DB - Cowboys


S Keith Davis has worked with the first-team defense in Cowboys minicamp.
Willie Pile is lining up with the second unit.

[SVite]

Greg Ellis - DL - Cowboys


DE Greg Ellis isn't working with the starting defense in minicamp.
He lined up with the nickel defense only. Second-year pro Chris Canty was the Cowboys starter Saturday and moved inside on passing downs.

[SVite]

Flozell Adams - T - Cowboys


Cowboys starting left tackle Flozell Adams has returned to practice.
Adams, who tore his ACL and missed 2005, lined up with the first-team offense Saturday. Head coach Bill Parcells noted the likely starter looked "overweight and rusty" in early work. Jun. 4

[SVite]

Greg Ellis - DL - Cowboys


Greg Ellis isn't talking to the media.
Ellis has been ousted for a starting job by Chris Canty. The Cowboys plan to use the veteran as a stand-up linebacker in nickel packages this season. Jun. 4

[SVite]

Marcus Coleman - DB - Cowboys


Marcus Coleman has lined up at both safety and cornerback at minicamp.
Keith Davis and Willie Pile appear set to compete for starting free safety duties. Coleman could fill a nickel or dime role. Jun. 4

[SVite]

Lousaka Polite - RB - Cowboys


The fullback position no longer exists in Dallas.
The Cowboys will go with a two-tight end set this season. Lousaka Polite worked at halfback and tight end Saturday. Jun. 4

[SVite]

Demetris Summers - RB - Cowboys


Demetris Summers went through practice Saturday "as if in second gear."
At one point, RBs coach Anthony Lynn told the troubled undrafted rookie to "Come back and do it again – you’re not running today." Summers, who dropped a pass when he did "come back," is not getting off to a good start in his attempt to make the Cowboys.

[SVite]

Flozell Adams - T - Cowboys


T Flozell Adams (knee) is not yet 100 percent.
Adams moved gingerly pulling on sweeps at practice Saturday. He missed all of last season with a torn ACL.

[SVite]

Junior Glymph - DL - Cowboys


Junior Glymph played linebacker on occasion at practice Saturday.
The 6-5/270-pounder could play a complementary role to or behind Greg Ellis as a nickel rusher this season.

[SVite]

Kyle Kosier - T - Cowboys


Kyle Kosier is penciled in as the Cowboys' starting left guard.
Kosier, who signed from Detroit in March, can play all line positions. He's currently lining up at Larry Allen's old post. Jun. 5

[SVite]

Jason Witten - TE - Cowboys


Jason Witten has had preliminary contract talks with the Cowboys.
Witten can be a free agent at season's end. Dallas drafted Anthony Fasano as insurance and to be a part of the Cowboys' new two-tight end set. Jun. 5

[SVite]

Tony Romo - QB - Cowboys


Bill Parcells plans to play Tony Romo "quite a bit" this preseason.
"I think had he been thrown to the wolves, so to speak, he probably would be looked upon a little differently than he is now," Parcells said. "So we'll see; I'm hoping to play him quite a bit in preseason." Jun. 5

[SVite]

Greg Ellis-de-cowboys


After participating in the mandatory three-day mini-camp (June 2-4), Greg Ellis skipped the entire week of OTA (Organized Team Activity) practices at Valley Ranch. Ellis has spent his first eight seasons at defensive end, but the Cowboys are toying with the idea of moving him to a hybrid position that will have him play some outside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme. However, the Cowboys would still use Ellis, whom head coach Bill Parcells calls one of his two best pass-rushers, at defensive end in the nickel defense, which is a four-man front. And while Ellis told reporters on Sunday he is willing to accept a new role, he just wants the Cowboys to show him more of a commitment. He fears an unproductive season could not only lead to his release from the Cowboys, but make it difficult to land another big contract. Ellis, who turns 31 in August, has four years remaining on a contract he signed early in the 2003 season, that at the time, suggested the defensive end would finish his career with the Cowboys. But now things have changed and Ellis said if a new deal is not reached, he thinks the best solution would be for him to play elsewhere.

even though he has been adequate, he never has played to the level of a 1st rounder. I say cut your losses, and get someone in there that is more productive.

[SVite]

Cowboys released WR Tom Crowder.
Crowder didn't have a catch in his time in Dallas.

[SVite]

Newly signed Cowboys T Jason Fabini could be third on the Dallas depth chart at right tackle.
Second-year pro Rob Pettiti is being talked up as the surprise of the offseason, while Chicago import Marc Colombo has also looked good. Perhaps the Jets knew what they were doing getting rid of Fabini.

[CoppellCowboy57]

Im calling it right Now, Cowboys will at least have a wild card spot in next years play-offs

[SVite]

i`m with ya.I think T.O. opens up the offense. And the defense goes to another level from last years defense.

[SVite]

Julius Jones said his goals this season are to rush for 1,700 yards and 20 touchdowns, and play in all 16 games.
Jones added he's at full strength now after missing 11 games due to injury in his first two seasons.

[SVite]

Terrell Owens' publicist denies that Owens was misquoted in his own autobiography.
Owens said Thursday that he didn't call his return for the Super Bowl two seasons ago "heroic," because "it was one of the words that (co-author) Jason (Rosenhaus) used." Only Owens could milk more publicity out of a situation like this.:D

Keith Davis was shot...again!!!

the story is...he was returning from a family vacation and a blue 2-door car pulled along side and started shooting. Davis was hit twice.
Davis's passenger then took over and drove him to the hospital.

Davis was an undrafted FA out of Sam Houston state 2 years ago. he is a top special teams player and was looking to secure the starting safety spot opposite of Roy Williams. last year he was the 4th leading tackler for the Pokes with 68.

the first shooting occurred when Davis was picking up an aquaintance at a strip club parking lot.

What is the deal? Coincidence...twice?

Well that's sort of a low thing to say....especially when it's a man's life. Now if you said something about an Eagle's fan (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2705686&postcount=20)...

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

Well that's sort of a low thing to say....especially when it's a man's life. Now if you said something about an Eagle's fan (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2705686&postcount=20)...

Another reason why I can't stand the Eagles. It's one thing when you don't like a team, but when it has something to do with their life and you're wishing that something worse would've happened, that's just sick and repulsive. That's why the Eagles haven't won a Super Bowl, and they won't win one anytime soon. They cheered when Michael Irvin was clinging to life ON THE FIELD and now, one of them says something like this. Some people are just evil and sick!

[SVite]

The Cowboys and Jason Witten are making siginificant progress in their contract negotiations.
When Dallas drafted Anthony Fasano, we thought it was insurance against Witten leaving after 2006. Witten would be at the front of a free agent tight end class that includes Daniel Graham and Eric Johnson, but it appears he'll stay in Big D.

[SVite]

The Cowboys are expected to wait until after the 2006 season before addressing LB Bradie James' contract.
Either they aren't too worried about losing James or they want him to repeat his breakout 2005 season before making the investment. James has had a difficult time winning over coach Parcells.

[SVite]

Cowboys LB Kevin Burnett is expected to be ready for training camp.
Burnett underwent knee surgery in January and was held out of all pre-camp work. The former second-round pick will likely be a reserve in his second season.

[SVite]

Jason Witten expects a new contract to finalized "in the next few days."
Witten, whose current deal is set to expire after this season, will likely get a multi-year contract extension in the range of $20 million.

[SVite]

Jerry Jones says the Cowboys are working on a contract extension for S Roy Williams.
Williams, LB Bradie James, and Jason Witten can be unrestricted free agents after the 2006 season.

[SVite]

Cowboys agreed to terms with TE Jason Witten on a new six-year contract.
The deal can be worth $28-29 million and includes $12 million in bonuses. The rookie contract for Witten, who is still just 24-years-old, was set to expire after this year.

[SVite]

The Cowboys are not expected to address Greg Ellis' demand for a new contract.
Dallas reportedly won't release or trade him either, so this dispute appears likely to drag on.

[SVite]

Cowboys signed former Ohio State LB Bobby Carpenter to a multi-year contract.
Two-thirds of the Buckeye 'backers are under contract. Carpenter has fantastic size at 6-3/255 and knows Bill Parcells from way back; Bobby's dad played under the Tuna. Carpenter, who can play both outside and inside, is expected to start at OLB for the Cowboys in 2006.

[SVite]

Cowboys agreed to terms with fourth-round WR Skyler Green on a four-year contract.
Green quickly became Bill Parcells' favorite player in minicamps after showing up looking like "a fat boy." An LSU product, Green is undersized but should help on returns right away and be a Dave Meggett type down the road.

[SVite]

Cowboys released G Shannon Snell.

Snell, an undrafted rookie last year, didn't play in his first season. He wasn't expected to make the team with Kyle Kosier's addition this offseason.

[SVite]

Cowboys placed LT Flozell Adams (knee) on Active/PUP.
Adams should be ready for the season. Jason Fabini will likely take first-team reps in his stead. RT Rob Petitti's progress has been one of the more unsung positives for Dallas this offseason, so Adams' absence wouldn't be a killer.

[SVite]

Cowboys DE Marcus Spears will miss a "couple of weeks" with a torn meniscus.
The 2005 first-rounder had a solid first season as a starting 3-4 defensive end. Greg Ellis should get more practice snaps in the meantime.

[SVite]

Cowboys placed G E.J. Whitley on the waived/injured list.
Assuming the seventh-round pick clears waivers, he'll go on injured reserve. Whitley tore his ACL in the off-season.

[Favpack]

I'm already sick of reading about TO. In 3 weeks - it'll be just unbearable.

[SVite]

Cowboys TE Brett Pierce tore his ACL Saturday and will likely miss the 2006 season.
Another tough break for Pierce, who tore the same ligament last November. He was battling for a roster spot.

[SVite]

Cowboys activated T Flozell Adams (knee) from the Active/PUP list.
Adams is scheduled to resume practicing Sunday night. His workload will likely be limited for the duration of camp.

[SVite]

Free agent T Lincoln Kennedy failed a physical with the Cowboys Wednesday.
Dallas could use another tackle because Jason Fabini can't get healthy, but Kennedy won't be the guy.

[SVite]

Cowboys released DE Vontrell Jamison.
The Dallas roster is down to 83 players.

[SVite]

Cowboys re-signed WR Roy Williams to a four-year, $25 million contract, with an $11 million signing bonus.
A good deal for both sides. Williams gets another big payday in four years in exchange and Dallas gets a fair market deal. Dallas has done a nice job keeping their young core players, also re-signing Jason Witten to a long-term deal last month.

[TexasRed6x]

I'm already sick of reading about TO. In 3 weeks - it'll be just unbearable.
Yeah just wait until the season starts then all hell will probably break loose.

[SVite]

Miles Austin has made the Cowboys as an undrafted rookie receiver.
So did Sam Hurd, Dallas' story of camp. Austin, a Monmouth product, beat out Terrance Copper and Skyler Green for the final receiver spot.
