Rebuilding the Cowboys defense remains a work in progress yet the club is making strides after hiring former Cardinals assistant Ryan Smith as their cornerbacks coach. The remainder of the defensive staff is a fluid situation yet the breadcrumbs the team is dropping are leaving clues to whom the next select few will be.
Up until today, poaching coaches had become a one-sided affair in Dallas but the Cowboys have their first casualty as assistant offensive line coach Ramon Chinyoung has taken a job with Mike McCarthy and the Steelers.
The game of tying potential free agents and prospects to Dallas based on the team’s newest hires is a popular trend. The topic intensifies as the Senior Bowl’s newest executive director Drew Fabianich, reminisces about his time as a scout for the Cowboys, which bodes well for Dallas who have a history of selecting players from the yearly event.
Around the NFL, this year’s coaching cycle is becoming legendary as movement across the league has been a non-stop affair. The rival Eagles, fresh off of multiple rejections, have finally found their offensive coordinator as they hired Packers QB coach Sean Mannion for the position. In Tennessee, Robert Saleh was introduced to the media while former Chargers defensive coordinator and new Ravens head coach Jesse Minter told reporters that Baltimore was the job he wanted.
As coaches get settled into their new homes, Bills QB Josh Allen attended his newest boss’s introductory press conference in a walking boot which led to more questions and revealed he had surgery for a broken bone on his foot. Another thing that is broken is the Pro Football Hall-of Fame voting process as a member explains why he didn’t vote for Bill Belichick. Lastly, Patriots QB Drake May’s shoulder isn’t a big concern for head coach Mike Vrabel ahead of the Super Bowl.
