#Cowboys guard Tyler Smith had a cleanup procedure of his right knee according to a person with knowledge of the procedure. Several Cowboys players underwent offseason surgeries and expect full recoveries before camp and or offseason program.

Here’s our report on Javonte Williams agreeing to terms on a new deal. www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowbo...

One more #Cowboys thing: A person with knowledge of the process expects the Cowboys to place the franchise tag on George Pickens.

I expect Cowboys to tag George Pickens, it’s part of the process of keeping a player under team control. The issue is getting a deal done and if that tag prompts Pickens to stay away from facility until a deal is done. Cowboys in same boat as always with some of these contracts.

#Cowboys have not spoken to George Pickens’ reps about new contract or placing franchise tag on him according to a person with knowledge of the process. Pickens reps normally speak with teams at the combine about such measures and that should be the case now.

Personally I felt like Rico Dowdle’s “buckle up” comment when the Panthers were getting ready to face the Cowboys was blown way out of proportion. He said it wasn’t meant as any kind of trash talk.

Good to see Darren Woodson and Sean Lee hanging around during Super Bowl week.

The Jets are scheduled to interview Cowboys TE coach Lunda Wells today. This is Wells with his family last night after the East-West Shrine Bowl.

One thing of note regarding the #Cowboys interviewing some assistant coaches. Marcus Dixon’s contract is up in Minnesota and Ronell Williams is still under contract in Philly.

From overnight: #Cowboys have plans to interview Vikings DL coach Marcus Dixon, a source confirms a ESPN report. Dixon played with the Cowboys in ‘08. His coaching career has taken him to Denver and LA Rams (Super Bowl ring). Dixon has HBCU ties (Hampton) like Christian Parker.

The Dallas Mavericks have narrowed their focus to two locations in the city of Dallas for their new arena, but a decision may not be made until July 1.

So Detroit hires a guy from Arizona who led an offense that averaged 20.9 ppg with two different QBs and a young wideout upset with the starter. Okay.

Just spit balling here but it’s going to be a minute before #Cowboys can bring Jim Leonhard into the building for an interview. Wonder if this helps any of the other candidates. Jonathan Gannon scheduled for Tuesday.

So on Saturday the Cowboys will interview Daronte Jones at The Star and Jonathan Gannon early next week multiple sources confirm. The first in-person interviews for the vacant DC job.

A #Cowboys update: Interview requests: Packers DL coach run game coordinator Demarcus Covington. Eagles defensive passing game coordinator Christian Parker Giants interim DC and OLB coach Charlie Bullen.

One thing of note, #Cowboys assistant coaches are all under contract and would need permission to seek another job, especially the defensive coaches.

Confirmed reports that the #Cowboys have reached out to the Eagles to speak with DB coach/passing game coordinator Christian Parker for their vacant DC spot.

Here’s a statement from Texas Department of Public Safety on Cowboys DE Donovan Ezeiruaku arrest.

The off-season is off and running for the Cowboys: www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowbo...

After #Cowboys conducted 3 interviews for their vacant DC spot, the organization has plans to interview more people next week. Jim Leonhard spoke to club officials on Saturday. He was the last of the initial 3 candidates to have an interview.

So the result of the Packers loss gives the #Cowboys pick No. 20 and of course they got No. 12. First-round #nfl draft.

Bears trying too much.

The soul-stealer. Dark chaos returns

The Cowboys have completed their zoom interview with Daronte Jones today according to a person with knowledge of the process.

Cowboys will conduct three interviews for their defensive coordinator position via zoom today and tomorrow.

Cowboys were busy today. They also tried to interview Atlanta DC Jeff Ulbrich but were denied that opportunity according to a person with knowledge of that decision.
