Agent’s opinion: How the Cowboys can re-sign Dak Prescott, Sir Lamb and Trayvon Diggs – Joel Currie, CBS Sports
A lot of money can be distributed before the season.
Cowboys President of Operations and Executive Vice President Stephen Jones spoke on the subject during the team’s mandatory minicamp, which was held June 6-8.
“There is no set order,” Jones said. “It’s just kind of when the opportunity presents itself. … But if there is an opportunity, we’d definitely like to sign 1-2-3 of those guys. We’d like to do more than one, if we could (before training camp). Just because you don’t want to.” To mean (you can), it takes two people to tango.”
Salary cap room will not be a problem. The Cowboys currently have $21.8 million in salary cap space for 2023, according to NFLPA data.
Diggs should be the top priority because 2023 is the year of his contract. It is set to make $4.304 million this season.
An extension could put Diggs in the exclusive $20 million-per-year cornerback club, which has three members consisting of Jaire Alexander (Packers), Jalen Ramsey (Dolphins), and Denzel Ward (Browns). The Alexander Ward Contracts may be of particular interest. They are the most recent data points. The deals were also signed last year when players were entering the final year of their rookie contracts, just like Diggs.
Role Calling: Edoga has the potential to play 4 points – Nick Eatman, USA TODAY dallascowboys.com
While the Cowboys try to spot the left guard, one player can play almost every position.
How did he get here: The Cowboys added Edoga in free agency, hoping he could provide not only some veteran leadership, but a flexible attitude to the offensive line. In his career, Edoga started with the Jets in 2019, and played in 24 games, with 12 starts, all at offensive tackle. But last season, his only year with the Falcons, Eduga moved up to guard and played two games before suffering a season-ending injury. The Cowboys had a guard when they signed him in March, but they knew he could provide some versatility in more than one place.
What then:: The jury is still out of Eduga and what will be his role. Sometimes, being flexible can be a blessing and other times a curse. While the ability to play multiple positions can help with value, it also prevents a player from focusing on one position and perfecting their craft. For Edoga, he was signed as a possible replacement left guard for Conor McGovern, who signed with the Bills. However, now that both Terence Steele and Tyron Smith have signed/restructured contracts, they’re in the mix in the process, which could push Tyler Smith to guard. As for Edoga, he’s had some time at tackle but the Cowboys seem to appreciate his ability to play both positions.
NFL Top 100 list features 4 Cowboys, names of 4 others – KD Drummond, Cowboys Wire
There are certainly more than three Cowboys among the NFL’s top 100 players.
No. 25 Zach Martin
Martin continues to be one of the best offensive linemen in the game and is a fixture in the Cowboys lineup. The Surefire Hall of Famer is the top indoor OL named, and fourth overall behind three OTs (Trent Williams 10th, Lynn Johnson 18 and Andrew Thomas 24).
Jason Kelsey of the Eagles is the next first in the 42nd and the next guard listed isn’t even Cleveland’s Joel Betonio in the 49th.
No. 48 CeeDee Lamb
Gauging the top receivers in the game is definitely one of NFL fans’ favorite pastimes. Lamb is constantly compared to Philadelphia native AJ Brown, who comes in at one place here.
Justin Jefferson (7) is the only WR in the top ten, Tyreek Hill comes in at #12, while the top 20 is Ja’Marr Chase (16) Davante Adams (17), and Stephon Diggs. Cooper Cobb scores at number 26 before Brown’s big lull.
jaundiced. CB Trayvon Diggs
Choosing Diggs as the second best corner on his list is one thing that’s debatable, but leaving him out of the top 100 seems like he’s a prisoner of a bad echo chamber. In three seasons, Diggs has earned a first team All-Pro nod, two Pro Bowl nominations and 17 interceptions. The best receivers in the game don’t have featured games against him.
Should Trayvon Diggs get more respect for playing against some of the NFL’s elite? — Jermaine Arvin, Inside the Star
Trevon Diggs deserves more credit for being one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
TREVON DIGGS WELCOME HIS FIRST TEST WITH JAMAR CHASE
Jamar Chase took it upon himself to give the national media a sonic bite that resonated across the nation and landed on the doorstep of one Trevon Diggs. She was a backhanded compliment on her best day.
Unfortunately for Chase, it wasn’t his best day on September 18th. Diggs proved that he was more than just a “great athlete”.
I’m sure Trayvon still has incorrect memories of them LSU-Alabama matchup, in which Jamar put up 140 yards on six catches. It wasn’t every Diggs reception, but it was still a memory he wanted to replace.
He sure did and some. The Bengals star was the first player last season to rent a spot at Diggs’ version of Revis Island. When Trayvon was lined up against him, two catches for 14 yards were all he could handle.
