NFL assistant GM: ‘Tony Romo will be the MVP’ - Mike Freeman, Bleacher Report

Freeman, NFL national lead writer for Bleacher Report, talked to an unnamed assistant NFL GM who believes an MVP-level season is coming for Tony Romo and the Cowboys.

One more thing from this assistant general manager. He believes Dallas quarterback Tony Romo will have an outstanding year. I've heard this from people around the NFL before. But I haven't heard anyone state that belief so bluntly: "I see a vastly improved team. I think this is Romo's year, finally, where we see him make a Super Bowl run. I know his health is a big concern, but this feels like his year to me."

Ezekiel Elliott Gives The Cowboys The Best Triplets In The NFL - Danny Phantom, Blogging The Boys

With Ezekiel Elliott joining forces with Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, do the Cowboys have the best triplets in the league?

But their time at the top could be short-lived. The only thing stopping Dallas from once again having the most talented triplets is good health. Yeah, people will claim Ezekiel Elliott hasn't played a down yet so nobody knows just how he's going to turn out. Maybe he's not very good? And maybe Tony Romo's left handed or that watching Game of Thrones is a complete waste of time. I'm sure there's a chance for anything, but the sensible presumption is all those things are not true. Elliott is going to be a great running back; it's just a matter of how great. But before we get to Zeke, let's take a look at the other two guys.

Agent: Paxton Lynch likes Denver, but nothing compares to Cowboys QB gig - Staff, SportsDay

Sports agent Leigh Steinberg joined SportsDay DFW's Ballzy podcast this week with Evan Grant, Kevin Sherrington and Barry Horn to talk about his client, Paxton Lynch.

"There's nothing like playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. I had all those years with Aikman and then Jason Garrett and Wade Wilson behind him. Dallas has a national following so you feel like you're in the concentric vortex of the football universe because there's so much excitement. So that would have been wonderful but it didn't happen and Denver's been great."

Valley Ranch Trash or Treasure: Darren Woodson’s Autographed Locker - Kristi Scales, 5 Points Blue

Though the Cowboys are moving, they will be taking a piece of history with them to the Star in Frisco.

"That’s right, he is the only one I would allow to sign his locker," says Mike. "After those Super Bowl championships he wanted to make a statement and he had been in that locker for a very long time, so we wanted to have some history there. "Darren was truly a professional on-and-off the field. He came in here as a rookie from Arizona State and you could just tell the guy had ‘it’. Whatever ‘it’ is, he had it. There was a certain demeanor when he got here. He took football very seriously, yet he made all the other players and people around him relaxed. He made every situation better."

Longshots: Prolific Tackler Deon King Facing Crowded Depth Chart At LB - David Helman, Dallas Cowboys

The Mothership has a new series of posts focusing on the longshots to root for this summer out in Oxnard, California.

You might not have ever seen Deon King’s resume, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive. During his senior season in 2015, he led all of Division I college football – both the FBS and FCS levels – with 163 tackles, which is an average of 15 per game. In doing so, he became the first-ever Norfolk State player to win the Buck Buchanan Award, which is given to the top defensive player at the FCS level. He was also a consensus first-team All-American. And just in case you think it was a fluke, he managed 106 tackles with 18 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks during his junior season in 2014. For his career, he finished with 372 total tackles, 52.5 tackles for loss and 22.5 sacks.

Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott Is A "Five-Tool Player" - Ryan Ratty, Blogging The Boys

The Dallas Cowboys should be one of the better teams in the NFL in 2016 and Ezekiel Elliott is going to be one of the main reasons why.

Food for thought: Tonight I was in the mood to write an article. And as I sat at my computer, I said to myself, "Hmm, what should I write about?" I glanced in the mirror and completely forget that I was wearing my Ezekiel Elliott jersey for the first time. It got me thinking: "How many times am I going to see a #21 find the end zone in 2016?" My answer: A lot.
