Wide receiver Denzel Mims hasn’t even been a Cowboy for a month, but there’s already a line forming in case he gets sent packing from Dallas. The Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts have added Mims- as well as fellow Cowboys wideout Traeshon Holden- to their “negotiation list,” giving them exclusive CFL rights if either player fails to make the 53-man roster and then is also unable to latch on with another NFL team. There’s a lot of “ifs” to that sentence and either man may go on to impress in training camp, but the news does suggest there’s a sense (at least in some circles north of the border) that Mims and Holden have a long, hard road ahead of them on the Cowboys depth chart.
Elsewhere in Cowboys headlines, we dive into pass-rush specialist BT Jordan’s rise through the ranks, from the social media videos that eventually earned him a star-studded client list all the way to his consultancy role with the Broncos and now Dallas. Quarterback Tony Romo is revealing the one regret he still has from his years with the Cowboys, Caleb Downs is rumored to be tied for the highest rookie rating in this year’s Madden game and break Ezekiel Elliott’s mark for Cowboys rookies, and Michael Irvin pokes fun at Eagles fans while in Philadelphia for Monday’s Home Run Derby… but did he also unknowingly jinx the Cowboys by staging his stunt on the city’s beloved “Rocky Steps?”
We’ll get into some of the latest lists of the offseason, including a stunner in the NFL Top 100. After back-to-back years as the No. 2 player in the league, has Lamar Jackson really slid all the way into the bottom third?!?
In other league news, Kyle Juszczyk is, for all intents and purposes, used as a tight end in San Francisco… until it comes time to talk contracts. Find out what the officially-listed fullback thinks of being the latest player to get bitten by a salary switcheroo. The Rams’ Aaron Donald may be a step closer to returning to play after going through a workout with pads as a test, the Super Bowl-champion Seahawks have been sold… to a 49ers partial owner??? And a former Fort Worth and Baylor standout who flew under the collective radar yet went on to become a first-round draft pick and Super Bowl champ with the Steelers has passed away at age 69.
