Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images It is early, but the arrow is pointing up for Tyler Guyton. It was a disappointing rookie season for Cowboys 2024 first-round pick Tyler Guyton. After having a solid camp and preseason, Guyton bounced in and out of starting lineup for the Cowboys in 2024. Guyton struggled at times on the field, showing consistent issues in technique and strength, and with penalties. The questions were loud heading into the offseason, and after the Cowboys elected not to add a veteran swing tackle in free agency, some thought they could consider a tackle early in the 2025 NFL draft. Now in the middle of OTA’s, the Cowboys are trusting Guyton to make a big jump in year two to solidly the left side of the line for 2025. While we are still a few months away from training camp, early signs have the arrow pointing up for Tyler Guyton this offseason. Speaking with the media early in the week, Guyton touched on some of his struggles in year one and what his mindset is heading into year two. First-round pick Tyler Guyton vows improvement in Year 2: “I want to be the guy that can be depended on. … I just feel like I had a lot to prove and I needed to work on things…I’m not going to make any excuses. I just didn’t play as good as I needed to last year.” pic.twitter.com/DG4SpDVrsL — Ed Werder (@WerderEdNFL) May 30, 2025 “I want to be the guy that can be depended on. … I just feel like I had a lot to prove and I needed to work on things…I’m not going to make any excuses. I just didn’t play as good as I needed to last year.” Obviously these are just words, and the real answers will come when the pads come on, but so far the early signs show a guy that has matured and has accepted he has work to do in order to succeed at the NFL level. Another big reason for hope around improvement is the incoming coaching duo of Klayton Adams as offensive coordinator and Conor Riley as offensive line coach. Both coaches are highly-regarded for their work with offensive linemen and head coach Brian Schottenheimer likes what he sees so far. “I think some of the new things that come from Klayton and Conor Riley really fit him,” Schottenheimer explained. “He hasn’t played offensive line a whole lot. Then he played right tackle for Oklahoma. Then he played left tackle [for the Cowboys], and it’s obviously a premier position, and he missed quite a lot of time in training camp. “He has not missed a day [this offseason program]. He was one of the first guys back in the building. It reminds me a ton of Jalen Tolbert in Year 1. He was up and down as a high draft pick and didn’t have a great first year. J.T. was one of the first guys back in the building, and Tyler Guyton was one of the first guys back in the building. He understands just how important this year is for him, and not just for him, but for this football team.” One other element he’s looking to improve is his diet. He met with the team’s nutrition staff and studied videos on his own. He eliminated fried food from his diet, which meant the self-described “Caniac” could no longer go to Raising Cane’s. He now eats more salmon and steak. He is still listed at 322 pounds, but he feels better. “I feel like I have a lot more energy. I feel like my joints feel a lot better,” he said. “Eating the right things, putting good fuel into my diet has definitely helped me become a better player.” Expectations should be higher for a first-round pick, and the signs are positive heading into his sophomore campaign.

Monroe, LouisianaPosition: LinebackerDallas Cowboys: 2003–2011Awards: N/A Bradie James played linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys from 2003 to 2011 after being selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft out of LSU. He became a full-time starter in 2005 and was a defensive cornerstone for much of the decade. Known for his leadership, toughness, James led the Cowboys in tackles for six straight seasons from 2005 to 2010, a franchise record still held to this day. He also peaked with 202 total tackles in 2008, just 20 tackles shy of the team’s single season record. He was a vocal leader on and off the field, helping to anchor the defense during multiple playoff runs and coaching transitions. He would play for Houston for one year, later signing a one-day contract with Dallas before retiring. “It’s not where you’re drafted, it’s what you do when you get there…”@bradiejamesgang shares the story of waiting to be called during the 2003 #NFLDraft #TBT Full Episode of Time Traveling with America’s Team presented by @hotelsdotcom → https://t.co/inWikbrOiX pic.twitter.com/yiFaosxYVe — Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys) April 8, 2021 Best known for:James was best known for his consistency and leadership, serving as the heart of the Cowboys’ defense and leading the team in tackles for six consecutive seasons.

Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports Micah Parsons has pledged to participate in the Cowboys mandatory minicamp. We can put an end to any speculating. A few hours after head coach Brian Schottenheimer said he expects Micah Parsons to be at the Dallas Cowboys’ mandatory minicamp next week, Parsons noted on social media that he will be there even if his contract situation is not resolved. I will be there! I haven’t missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook ! I’m preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it’s in the owner’s hands. I’m ready to win a Super Bowl ! https://t.co/gMsfQEDYo7 — Micah Parsons (@MicahhParsons11) June 4, 2025 The situation in question here is that Parsons is currently set to enter the final year of his rookie contract, his fifth-year option season. Nobody seriously expects this to actually happen as Parsons has proven to be an incredibly valuable player to the Cowboys, but given that he was first eligible for an extension at the beginning of last offseason and that it still hasn’t been taken care of (and the Cowboys’ history in this realm) nothing feels off the table. With regards to the team’s history, it was just last year when they were stuck in negotiations with both CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott through training camp (Lamb got done when the team returned from Oxnard, and Prescott on the day that the season started). Waiting on extensions for superstar players who play big-time positions of heavy prices has not exactly proven to be successful for the Cowboys or anybody in the NFL… yet here we are. Whatever the case, Parsons is going to report to minicamp next week. It is worth noting that this is, unlike recent OTAs, is a mandatory event and therefore he would be subject to fines if he were not in attendance. Notably, Parsons said in his post that the situation was “in the owner’s hands” which would suggest that Jerry Jones and Co. are the ones (at least in his perception) holding this process up still. Given the aforementioned history, the Cowboys front office does not exactly have the benefit of the doubt to lean on in the eye of the public. The clock, as it has been for some time now, is ticking. But at least we know that Parsons will be in attendance next week.

Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images Here is the latest news from around the division. Odell Beckham Jr. says he ‘never, ever wanted to leave the New York Giants – Jonathan X. Simmons, Cleveland.com Apparently OBJ always wanted to stay in NYC. CLEVELAND, Ohio — In March of 2019, Odell Beckham Jr. was traded alongside defensive lineman Olivier Vernon to the Browns for a package that included safety Jabrill Peppers, offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler and Cleveland’s first- and third-round draft picks in 2019. Giants fans did not want to see Beckham leave. During an appearance Saturday on the UEFA Champions League final broadcast on Paramount Plus, Beckham revealed that the feeling was mutual. “I never, ever, wanted to leave the New York Giants.” OBJ opened up on “Beckham and Friends Live” during the UCL Final @CBSSportsGolazo pic.twitter.com/hnMS24hAnX — NFL on CBS (@NFLonCBS) June 1, 2025 “I never, ever wanted to leave the New York Giants,” Beckham Jr. said. “The reason you heard me talking about what was going on was because I was p—ed because, where I come from in college, if we lost one game, our season was over. “This was the organization I got drafted to. They believed in me. So if the Giants went and won a Super Bowl, I would be happy. But deep down inside, I wanted to be the one. No question. So it’s definitely you’ll always hold that. But then someone like me, I went to the LA Rams, won a Super Bowl. But still, you just want that.” From his famous one-handed catch against the Cowboys as a rookie to becoming the fastest player to reach 200 career receptions and 4,000 receiving yards, Beckham burst onto the NFL scene in remarkable fashion. But after a knee injury, multiple fines for his on-field actions and a series of unwanted headlines and attention due to his off-field antics, the writing was on the wall for the No. 12 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. After signing a five-year, $90 million contract extension with the Giants, Beckham Jr. didn’t last seven months in New York before being traded to Cleveland. After two full seasons in Cleveland, the three-time Pro Bowler won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams in 2022. Eagles trade Bryce Huff to 49ers: Grades for each team after pass rusher spent one season in Philadelphia – Bryan DeArdo & Zachary Pereles, CBS Sports Philadelphia had to rectify one of their mistake signings. The Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers have agreed on a trade that sends pass rusher Bryce Huff out west in exchange for a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick that could turn into a fourth-round pick based on Huff’s performance, per CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones. The deal is pending a physical. Reports of a potential trade surfaced on May 30, though the deal could not be processed until after June 1. Both sides had been working to make the deal happen, with Huff reworking his contract to help facilitate it. Huff, 27, will be reunited in San Francisco with 49ers defensive coordinator, Robert Saleh, who was Huff’s coach with the New York Jets from 2021-23. Huff joins linebacker Chazz Surratt and punter Thomas Morstead, who have joined the 49ers from the Jets over the past week. A former undrafted rookie, Huff enjoyed a breakout season in 2023, recording a career-high 10 sacks despite not starting in a single game that season. So, who won the trade? Let’s find out by taking a look at our trade grades for both teams. Eagles: B- While Howie Roseman is one of the best in the business, no general manager has a perfect batting average. Roseman took a gamble when he signed Huff to a three-year, $51.1 million deal last offseason, and it was a gamble that clearly didn’t pay off. Last year, Huff recorded just 2.5 sacks and 13 tackles while making $17.25 million. Philadelphia, instead of hoping for more in 2025, decided to cut its losses now. The Eagles will still have to take on $9.05 million in salary, but the 49ers have agreed to pay the remaining $7.95 million that Huff was guaranteed for the upcoming season, according to ESPN’s report. Paying a player over $9 million to play for someone else is obviously not ideal, but the Eagles deserve some credit for finding a team that was willing to take on a significant portion of Huff’s salary while also getting a mid-round pick in return. It should also be noted that the Eagles did win the Super Bowl last year, so while last offseason’s signing of Huff was a miss, it didn’t prevent Philadelphia from winning its second Lombardi Trophy in eight years. Marshon Lattimore no-showed Commanders OTAs and sent worst message possible – Dean Jones, RiggosRag.com Washington’s acquisition from last year is a no-show at OTAs. There are a few notable absentees for Phase 3 of the Washington Commanders’ offseason program. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin’s decision not to participate in organized team activities as he awaits a new contract took the spotlight, but another veteran skipping the process shouldn’t be overlooked either. It’s worth remembering that being at OTAs is voluntary. The Commanders got full attendance last year as everyone bought into head coach Dan Quinn’s culture shift immediately. That wasn’t the case this time around, which brings cornerback Marshon Lattimore firmly under the microscope. Lattimore was acquired by the Commanders via trade from the New Orleans Saints just before the 2024 deadline. Big things were expected of the four-time Pro Bowler, but he never came close to meeting these expectations. Marshon Lattimore sent the wrong message with Commanders OTAs no-show There were mitigating circumstances attached. Lattimore came into the Commanders with a hamstring injury that he never shook off effectively enough. There were some brief moments of promise, but nothing more. Despite a rough introduction, those in power are confident he can thrive once the issue heals and he gets a full summer within Washington’s schematic concepts.

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images Osa Odighizuwa could have his best season yet in 2025. Osa Odighizuwa has ascended every season since he was drafted in 2021. That culminated in his best effort last season as he put up career highs in tackles (47), sacks (4.5), quarterback hits (23), pressures (60), and hurries (39). Also, 78.5 pass-rush grade per Pro Football Focus was 11th amongst all defensive linemen. This led to Odighizuwa cashing in with a four-year deal worth $80 million. Of course, that comes with even more expectations for him going into his fifth season, and he’ll be under his third different defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus. It’s only the spring, but according to Odighizuwa, he’s already seeing ways he can be even better under the guidance of Eberflus. Just based on some of the things we’re being asked to do right now, I was going back and watching some of the tape from last year and I’m like, ‘If I was doing the stuff we’re being coached to do now, I’m making this play, I’m making that play.’ Just seeing there are going to be a lot more opportunities based on the stuff he’s having us do. Eberflus isn’t into blitzing a lot in his scheme. He prefers to get pressure with four down linemen and drop seven into coverage. That means the defensive line has to be in tune, and per Eberflus, the 3-technique is the engine of his scheme. So, that means Odighizuwa has to be even more of a disruptive force in the middle and use his strength and leverage from his wrestling background to cause chaos. Things will be a little different for Odighizuwa and the rest of the defensive line with veteran DeMarcus Lawrence not being on the roster. He was the Cowboys’ best run defender for years and the elder statesman in the room and that will have to be replaced. The Cowboys did add a few veterans in free agency on the defensive line, although they weren’t huge needle-movers. However, Odighizuwa doesn’t think the leadership aspect will be an issue. Having him gone definitely puts a little bit more on me and Micah Parsons’ plate just as far as leadership and leading by example, but we’ve got good vets in there too. Solomon Thomas came in, Dante Fowler’s been here before, and they’ve been doing it for a long time as well, so we got good leadership in the room. Odighizuwa taking his game to the next level will have a positive effect on the entire defense. It will give guys like Parsons and Fowler more one-on-one opportunities and help keep linebackers clean for them to make plays, which ultimately makes things easier on the secondary as well. All eyes will be on Odighizuwa now that he has his financial security. Based on history, he’ll continue to elevate his game and make the Cowboys a better unit overall defensively.

Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Brian Schottenheimer ‘expects’ Micah Parsons at mandatory minicamp next week. You should be very used to this by now. The Dallas Cowboys are set to hold a mandatory minicamp next week and we are all on a specific alert with regards to it, one that we are well-versed in thanks to the last few years. Speaking at OTAs on Tuesday, a portion of the offseason that is voluntary, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer discussed a player not in attendance, Micah Parsons. Parsons, who has had one of the greatest starts to a pass rusher’s career through four seasons, has been in the middle of contract negotiations with the Cowboys over the entire offseason (as always it is important to note that he was first eligible for a new deal with Dallas last offseason, but the front office was busy tending to other contractual matters they had begun procrastinating on earlier in CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott). To date there has yet to be an indication or note from Parsons himself that his absence from voluntary OTAs is contract-related and not simply because of a general choice. But that choice no longer becomes available to Parsons next week as the minicamp is mandatory. Schottenheimer said on Tuesday that he expects Parsons to be in attendance and whether or not he is will be the first real indication as to where things stand on the negotiations between the player and front office. Brian Schottenheimer on if he expects Micah Parsons to be in the building for mandatory minicamp next week: “I would assume… I expect that he would be here.” Schottenheimer said he has had good conversations with Parsons, which is why he expects he’ll be present. — Saad Yousuf (@SaadYousuf126) June 3, 2025 The Cowboys hold the right to fine Parsons if he is absent from the team’s mandatory minicamp, but obviously nobody wants the situation to reach a point where that decision has to be made. Lamb chose to sit out last year until he got the deal he was looking for, a matter that did not get resolved until after the team finished their Oxnard portion of training camp. Prescott participated in all offseason activities and received his deal on the day that the season started for the Cowboys. Ultimately each player does what they think is best for them. Time will tell whether or not Parsons is in attendance because while Schottenheimer can offer his opinion, a well-educated one obviously, the discussions that Parsons and his representation are having are not with the coaching staff but with the front office.

Rome, GeorgiaPosition: Running BackDallas Cowboys: 1965–1972Awards: Super Bowl champion- VI, XII Dan Reeves was part of the Dallas Cowboys for an extraordinary length of time, from 1965 until 1981 as both player and coach. His career in the NFL began after signing as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina. Originally a college quarterback, Reeves converted to running back and became a key offensive contributor under head coach Tom Landry. He saw Reeves athletic ability as a fit for the position during a time where the team had suffered injuries at running back. During his eight year playing career, Reeves played in 100 games amassing 1,990 rushing yards, 1,693 receiving yards and 42 total touchdowns, never missing the playoffs during his time on the roster. Reeves appeared in two Super Bowls with Dallas either as a player or coach, and was part of the team that won Super Bowl VI. Known for his intelligence and leadership, Reeves became a player-coach late in his playing career for Dallas, laying the foundation for his future as a highly respected NFL head coach. He would finish his coaching career in 2023 while at Atlanta, making his NFL career as both player and coach spanning just shy of 60 years. Reeves sadly passed away in 2022, where left behind his wife, three children and six grandchildren. #Cowboys halfback Dan Reeves spends some quality time with the #StLouis Cardinals at the Cotton Bowl December 4, 1966 pic.twitter.com/b3XpYL5mGj — Kevin Gallagher (@KevG163) December 4, 2024 Best known for:Reeves was best known for his role as a versatile, team-first running back and for being one of the few Cowboys to successfully transition from player to coach within the organization.

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Cowboys and Eagles roster-building efforts are very different There is an extreme difference in the way the Philadelphia Eagles construct their roster compared to how the Dallas Cowboys do it. We are all aware that the Cowboys’ front office is very selective in spending its cap resources. They are very risk-averse with their free agent spending, sticking to a yearly budget, and dragging out the extensions of their own players as long as possible to ensure what they are buying is a good investment. The Eagles’ front office is the polar opposite. They are aggressive in their free agent spending, circumventing annual cap space by pushing costs into future seasons, and jumping on a contract extension at the first opportunity. The Eagles’ usage of void years has become so excessive that the NFL is now having lengthy discussions about how the salary cap is working and if teams are using it in the manner in which it was intended. Suffice it to say, the Eagles are not using it for its “intended spirit” but rather exploiting it to its fullest. Mind you, Howie Roseman is not breaking any rules. How a team chooses to spread out costs is up to them, and the Eagles are just one of those teams that is spending like crazy now and spreading it out like nothing we’ve seen before. The heavy use of void years allows the Eagles to spend money like crazy. They aren’t a team that is making “all the right moves,” they are a team that is making all kinds of moves, hoping enough of them will stick to create a talented football team. And it’s working. The Eagles are loaded with talent all over their roster. And because the Eagles are throwing money around left and right, some of their purchases won’t be good ones. This was revealed in a rather costly fashion on Friday when we learned the team is waving the white flag on free agent edge rusher Bryce Huff and trading him to the San Francisco 49ers. ESPN sources: 49ers and Eagles are working to finalize a trade that will send edge rusher Bryce Huff to San Francisco for a mid-round pick. The trade cannot and would not be processed until after June 1. But both sides are working to make it happen, and Huff already has reworked… pic.twitter.com/FJeGc9Cfwx — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 30, 2025 The immediate reaction is more Howie praise. The Eagles’ GM recognized Huff was a huge mistake, so he quickly pivoted and is cutting his losses the best he can. And that’s true. Getting out of that deal is better than staying in it. However, it doesn’t appear that people truly understand how costly this move was. The Eagles signed Huff to a three-year, $51 million deal last offseason. That’s a whopping annual cost of $17 million per year for an undrafted free agent who had one good season over his first four years in the league. He wasn’t even a starter on the New York Jets, but his 10-sack season in 2023 caught Roseman’s attention, so the Eagles gambled that he was a rising star. He wasn’t. The realization came quickly for Roseman that he had made a mistake, so he did what he does best – trade his way out of it. And while this will quickly become another mistake that Howie can sweep under the rug, it won’t be forgotten by those who are paying close attention. That’s because this move was really bad. The Eagles gave Huff $34 million in guaranteed money with his new deal. That guaranteed money breaks down as follows… $16.1 million signing bonus$1.1 million 2024 base salary$1.2 million 2025 base salary$15.6 million 2025 option bonus The Eagles aren’t eating that entire $34 million themselves. As part of the trade agreement, the 49ers will take on $8 million of his 2025 costs, meaning that the Eagles can push some of his guaranteed money on San Francisco. Regardless, he’s still costing Philadelphia north of $25 million for one underwhelming season. On the plus side, the Eagles are getting a Day 3 draft pick in return. Now, what that means is different for everyone. The Eagles won the Super Bowl, so is it fair to pass judgment on any move they make, regardless of how terrible it looks? When you take a lot of swings, you’re going to miss sometimes. Howie’s not perfect. The problem with this type of logic is that it’s evasive. There is no world where the Huff trade should be looked at in a favorable light. It was bad. Really bad. Sure, no one in Philly is feeling the sting because the Eagles invested in so many other players that compensated for their mishaps. And they didn’t make these investments with smart, calculated moves. They do it by making an abundance of moves, some good, but also some very bad. The Huff signing was bad. Trading a third-round pick for Jahan Dotson was bad. The Cowboys make mistakes, but not to that level. They get dragged through the mud for moves like the Trey Lance or Jonathan Mingo trades (which were bad), but those were Day 3 draft picks, and they are never tending to wounds from bad free agent signings. While Cowboys fans remember Brandon Carr (which wasn’t that egregious), the Eagles have gone through a plethora of free agent busts like Nnamdi Asomugha, Byron Maxwell, DeMarco Murray, Demetress Bell, and now you can add Huff to the list. And while the Cowboys have made bad trades like giving up fourth-rounders for Lance and Mingo, the Eagles have traded third-rounders for Dotson and Golden Tate. They also traded LeSean McCoy in his prime, who went on to have three-straight Pro Bowl seasons in Buffalo, while the Eagles received a linebacker named Kiko Alonso in return. Alonso only lasted one disappointing year in Philly before they moved on from him the following year. The Eagles did a
