In light of speculation of the Browns having plenty of draft capital to get Arch Manning next draft. I reached out to Archie and he said "Arch is getting his degree and will come out after his Sr year."

Cowboys did not execute several trade offers, including a few low ball offeres for Pickens. There is no longer any imminent trade deals for Pickens. And Dallas is OK waiting for 92 for their next selection.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

and there goes another domino, Pickens just signed his tag, checking one box needed to be moved. SOURCE: This could be Arizona, Ravens or Clevand showing interest.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

ALERT: Source has told me Dallas trying to move up to 3 for WR. AND this is happening because there is another deal to trade Pickens to yet named team. This is heating up fast!

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

Things are moving fast in regards to George Pickens. Several sources believe a draft day trade is likely. Baltimore is a team interested, Cleveland is also sniffing around. More to come.

BLOCKBUSTER Trade: Giants have traded Lawerence to Bengals #10 pick

Some spicy Cowboys Draft rumors to report.
- Front office and coaches are split between Caleb Downs and Dillon Thieneman as Safety 1.
- Cowboys seem to be higher on Ramsey over McNeil-Warren
- Jerry Jones loves Zion Young, not a 30 visit, name could be called early for Dallas.

Tyron Smith still taking great care of his temple. I really would like to see him dabble in some acting, maybe go the WWE route like the Rock.

🚨FREAK-ATHLETE🚨

Retired legendary #Cowboys tackle Tyron Smith ran a 1.55, 10-yard split.

This would have been the 10th fastest among RBs at the 2025 #NFL Combine & faster than HOFers Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison.

Smith is 34 years old

NFC Executive told me Peter Woods stock has plummeted to Day 2 after his lack luster pro day. Woods has been mocked to Dallas in recent days.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

The defensive market dried up extremely faster than Cowboys anticipated. I'm told they have reached out to Joey Bosa and Clowney is back in play. Fans are understandably upset in wake of Jerry's "bust the budget" comment that did not manifest into reality.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

NFC Executive told me the medical on Caleb Downs is all over the place, a handful aren't sure Downs has the size to be an elite player at the next level. Could be the surprise fall in this years draft.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

Back from the NFL Combine with tons of news and notes. Despite a strong showing from the safety class, don't look for the Cowboys to draft one high. Cowboys are exploring free agency to address an upgrade.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

Heard this from a few executives from the Senior Bowl, quite a bit have a late first on Jermod McCoy. Teams citing the knee stability and inactivity. One scout told me he is this years Caleb Farley, who ultimately ever played at a high level and considered a bust.

Huge Cowboys DC News. Leonhard could be sniper by Harbaugh. Hearing Christian Parker is in play. Cowboys want a DC hire to stay longer than one season.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

Source: Diggs could be shipped off for a day 3 pick, Stephen Jones was described as "done" The Cowboys fined Diggs $500k in the offseason and the relationship with front office has "deteriorated beyond repair" since then.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

Hearing several whispers that Cowboys rookie RB, Jaydon Blue doesn’t have a good grasp of the playbook. As in, he not prepared, thus he’s been used sparingly on the game day roster. Work ethic issues have followed Blue since his time at Texas.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

An NFL exec from a prominent NFC West team reminded me that the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer pushed by Stephen Jones. Jerry Jones wanted to go a different direction. Something to monitor if Cowboys keep losing.

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

Source: Cowboys consulted with Mike McCarthy on trade that involved his former player Kenny Clark. Coach described Clark as a “high character player, great for the locker room, dependable and loves the game” #DallasCowboys #KennyClark #MikeMcCarthy

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

I can confirm the Packers have made a call to the Cowboys. Not sure if it is (4) 1st round picks however. Another one coming from Jacksonville: Travon Walker + (2) first round picks and change. #DallasCowboys

[Ari Silver @AriSilverNFL]

Bo Nix was asked if Traeshon Holden were to be cut by the Cowboys after cutdowns and Nix said he “would be in Coach’s ear to sign him, our chemistry is top tier..” Dallas could lose him if not on the 53 man. #DallasCowboys
