Cadence’s scouting report

Brian Schottenheimer's first season as head coach went better than it had any right to, which Dallas celebrated by entering year two with one functioning pass rusher and an ongoing receiver contract standoff. Micah Parsons was shipped to Green Bay last August for Kenny Clark and two firsts after Jerry Jones tried to handshake an extension directly with the player, then rescinded the offer once the agent showed up to the meeting. That agent, David Mulugheta, also represents George Pickens, whom the Cowboys have placed on the non-exclusive franchise tag; Stephen Jones reports no team has called to inquire. Jerry, after thirty-six years, has reportedly come within small fractions of a second of considering stepping aside as GM.
