Mentioned in this story
The big guys up front made big news over the weekend in Cowboys Nation. While center Cooper Beebe was literally the center of attention at his nuptials in Kansas, the rest of his O-line teammates huddled up for a memorable addition to the wedding photo album. All five Cowboys linemen posed- in formation- as Beebe prepared to snap the ball to his new wife, BrayLynn. Tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford was in place, and Dak Prescott (who supposedly suggested the group pose) was waiting in the backfield for the once-in-a-lifetime shot. Back at The Star on Monday, the team added another lineman to the mix with a promising undrafted free agent who had to sit out the 2025 season at USC due to an eligibility snafu. And could the O-line do something this season that hasn't happened in over a decade?
In other Cowboys news, ESPN's Sunday night special offered a fascinating look behind the curtain at the draft-room machinations that delivered Caleb Downs, Brian Schottenheimer hints that George Pickens might still have room to improve on the field, and if the club is looking to solidify the RB room behind Javonte Williams, there are good options that could be had in a modest trade.
And we're still getting to know the undrafted free agents after rookie minicamp. Barry Switzer's grandson reveals how his tryout came about, tight end DJ Rogers hopes to make a splash in front of his hometown TCU fans, and new offensive tackle Shiyazh Pete could be on the verge of becoming a new fan favorite. The groundbreaking Native American prospect has a story worth knowing.
In other league news, the A.J. Brown trade is reportedly still on track, with one NFL insider saying the Patriots' current internal chaos won't impact their acquisition of the Eagles star receiver. The Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes is also on track... to be ready for OTAs, incredibly, just five months after a torn ACL and LCL. There's a QB shuffle in Green Bay behind Jordan Love, and Baltimore is practically collecting quarterbacks in bulk, now adding Skylar Thompson to their increasingly crowded room.
Also, the Stefon Diggs strangulation trial is underway, and if the first day of testimony is any indication, the details are going to be salacious. And we flash back to the replacement-referee drama of the 2012 season. It was far worse in the moment than just the few "Fail Mary" punchlines we remember... and the NFL could be headed for a sequel.
