With the Cowboys holding their mandatory minicamp this week, George Pickens has arrived at The Star today to take his physical, per source. By taking part in camp, he avoids a fine. Brian Schottenheimer said last week Pickens’ work would be limited after missing voluntary work.
Former #49ers pass rusher Aldon Smith died this morning in Northern California.
He was 36.
Statement from team:
“We are devastated by the sudden and tragic passing of Aldon Smith. Aldon’s undeniable talent and sheer dominance on the field were on display from the moment he joined our organization, having recorded one of the best rookie seasons the National Football
League has seen. Beyond his excellence as a player, Aldon will be remembered for his infectious smile that lit up every room he walked into. Our entire organization sends its deepest condolences to the Smith family and all who knew and loved Aldon.”
@DFScashgod Well, just some general psyche behind a QB competition when it features a returner…. There wouldn’t be competition if the guy whose job it was did a good enough job to keep the job, so that would seem to give the edge to the new guy.
"Kevin O'Connell is adamant this is a true quarterback competition."
