Brief Cowboys OTA observations from 6/4:
- The practice was structured with about an hour-long of position drills and roughly 35 minutes of 7-on-7 work. There were no team portions with linemen involved
- A lot of the major names got work with the first-team at outside corner: Durant, Revel, Carson. Downs obviously in the nickel quite a bit
- Phil Mafah looked good with his first-team reps
- Dee Winters and Shemar James were the first-team linebackers with Overshown out
- Might just be because Pickens isn't here, but Marquez Valdes-Scantling got a lot of first-team reps and was targeted a handful of times
- Saw more Ryan Flournoy work in the slot. I'm sure that's more of a wrinkle they're trying to add rather than him moving there
- A lot of action with the running backs in red zone work in the pass game, specifically with Mafah and Jaydon Blue. Both have had a good offseason program to this point
Yes, the Cowboys did call on Sweat yesterday, but were turned away. TB sent an offer of a 4th, but were denied. Sweat wants Green Bay, and if that fizzles out, the Eagles are his #2.
OVERNIGHT UPDATE: As of late yesterday, I was told reluctance remains among some* segments of the #Patriots higher-ranks for giving up any form of a first-round pick for #Eagles WR AJ Brown, but* that the plan remains to huddle-up this morning on 11th-hour trade-term stances—including whether they’re collectively* okay with giving up a 2028 first-rounder as comfortable middle ground, per league sources.
While it was acknowledged to me that a 2028 1st-rounder has come up in discussions, it was not yet affirmed that this compensation was 100% greenlit, at the time of discussions with sources yesterday.
While there’s uniform agreement that Brown is a first-round talent & a stud difference-maker, the preference to achieve a 2nd-round valuation for Brown by some (due to mitigating factors in Brown's profile), along with potentially* including a pick swap, was restated over the weekend.
That said, we all know head coach Mike Vrabel really wants to do what it takes to get his former player & that he’s the heavy finger on the trigger.
So the tone of inevitability on a Brown trade still remains from New England’s perspective, for now it’s just about what's the ultimate agreement on the complete terms to get it over the finish line, whilst peeking for any left field updates.

@Marcus_Mosher I just didn’t get restructuring the older Clark and trading the younger Osa.
Scheme fit yada yada. You keep good players and make it work.
James Bond actor Roger Moore says ‘SKYFALL’ is the best Bond movie ever made.
“Daniel Craig is, without a doubt, the Bond. He has just got it all. He brings to Bond the killer instinct.“
“Skyfall is just an extraordinary piece of motion picture. It guaranteed another 50 years.”
