Cowboys Headlines: Pickens one of a kind, NFL shuns TT's Sorsby

The Dallas Cowboys seem to be operating differently this offseason. The front office vacation plans weren’t an offseason focus and in its place has been a flurry of roster churn. Dallas has rotated the players at the tail end of the 90-man offseason group, and on Tuesday worked out three more players, including the UFL’s leading rusher Deon Jackson.

The mindsets of the coaches and players have a few of them talking playoffs with an appearance as the “minimum” acceptable type of performance they are expecting according to quarterback Dak Prescott. With high hopes, Dallas has put last season behind them, but the NFL is still revisiting the past with the reveal of the top 100 NFL players from the 2025 season. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, once thought of as a bust, surprisingly made the cut.

In other NFL news, the league has essentially frozen the movements of QB Brendan Sorsby by suspending the supplemental draft just days after declaring his intentions to enter the professional ranks. Lastly, ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller shares an update after a horrific car crash almost claimed his life.
