Cowboys turn to football by signing former MLS player and USFL star Brandon Aubry to compete for kicking job – CBS Sports, John Breech
From the other kind of football to the big league NFL, welcome to Dallas.
Last May, Dallas special teams coach John Vassell said the team would Consider “every person on earth” in terms of their jobAfter going through all the applications, it appears that the Cowboys They finally found their man.
the team He agreed to a contract With former USFL star Brandon Aubrey, who never kicked NFL game before. Instead of going with someone with NFL experience – eg Mason Crosby or Ruby Gold The Cowboys decided to go an unorthodox route with their latest signing by adding a player who spent most of his life playing football before making the transition to soccer in 2022.
Aubry spent two seasons in the NFL, but before that, he was a football player. From 2013 through 2016, Aubrey was on Our Lady, where he played football for the Fighting Irish. After leaving college, Aubrey was drafted, though not to the NFL. In 2017, Toronto FC made Aubrey the 21st overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft.

Anyone else even remotely in the argument?
The last 10 players in the league (and seven running backs in that period) have all been quarterbacks. But let’s be honest, this is a little boring – even considering the long-held notion that we’re in the “quarterback era.”
How about some love for the other 21 in the field at any time? You know, the ones who block quarterbacks, catch passes, put them in runs and touchdowns more easily…and also the guys whose job it is to make the quarterbacks’ lives a living hell.
There is little concern in my head that the Cowboys could mess with Parsons too much in his apparent quest to be a major league The most versatile and versatile defender. But there is also this: He can do it.
Parsons was primarily a pass tackler last season, but has shown enough impact in coverage and stopping — from multiple alignments — to prove he’s a unique player. Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn did a masterful job no Messing around with Parsons the last couple of seasons, so my level of confidence that he’ll continue to get the most out of him is still high.
3 cut candidates for the Cowboys ahead of NFL training camp – ClutchPoints, Joe Fragano
A look at some of the vets who may not be on the list.
Jordan Lewis, CB
Jordan Lewis Lisfranc injury last season put an end to his season. After some recent high school acquisitions and considering the wealth of young and talented defenses the Cowboys have at the moment, he may as well have finished his career in Dallas.
Lewis had his moments in Dallas. After making three draft picks in 2021, Lewis is beginning to emerge as one of the Cowboys’ more opportunistic playmakers on defense. In general, Lewis’ ability to cover hasn’t been at its peak in recent seasons. In his six games last season, Lewis targeted 29 times by opposing quarterbacks and gave up 24 receptions for an average of 9.2 yards per catch.
Dallas has a lot of options at the high school level. The emergence of young, cheap players like DaRon Bland and Israel Mukuamu last season, plus the enduring acquisition of Pro Bowler Stephon Gilmore doesn’t leave many picks to roam at cornerback. The front office is also set to clear approximately $5 million of the cap if they move on from Lewis.
ESPN Sends Cowboys a CB in New 2024 Mock Draft – CowboysWire, KD Drummond
It’s never too early to start planning for the future, right?
By 2023, the Dallas Cowboys look like they have one of the best favorites in the NFL. They have future Hall of Famer Stephon Gilmore in one corner spot after trading with Indianapolis Colts. He lines up opposite Trayvon Diggs, who happens to have led the NFL in interceptions since 2020 with 17. Last year’s fifth-round pick, Daron Bland, led the team with five picks as he competes with veteran Jordan Lewis for the slot role.
In safety, Dallas has up-and-coming superstar Donovan Wilson along with veterans Jayron Kearse and Malik Hooker. And while there’s a lot of talent out there, there’s also a lot of long-term uncertainty. Diggs, Gilmore, Lewis, Kearse and Hooker are all entering the final year of their contracts. So when ESPN’s Jordan Reed pulled out his latest mock draft of 2024, it’s no surprise that Dallas ended up with a member of the secondary.

Stephon Gilmore — who is 33 and entering the final year of his contract — doesn’t look like he’s in the Cowboys’ long-term plans, and Trayvon Diggs is likely to become a very expensive player in the near future. That means the Cowboys could count on drafting well into the stage. The secondary behind Diggs.At 6-foot-1 and 198 pounds, Marshall’s height is causing problems for opponents covering man.However, he lacks ball production (only two interceptions over a career), and scouts want to see him make more of an impact on passes through the air. next season.”
