Are Brian Schottenheimer's Cowboys Sneaking Under The Offseason Radar?
Are Brian Schottenheimer's Cowboys Sneaking Under The Offseason Radar? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Brian Schottenheimer era for the Dallas Cowboys has gotten off to a steady start, with the energy and vibes in the building being noticed. Advertisement Plus, the free agency and draft hauls have, for the most part, been lauded with holes being plugged and a handful of starters coming with George Pickens, the pick of the bunch when it comes to the franchise's moves. Still, many are unsure of precisely what the expectations should be for Schottenheimer's first season. Some have playoffs, others have Dallas missing altogether. Fox Sports' Henry McKenna predicts that Dallas will finish with a 10-7 record and secure the seventh seed in the NFC. "For all the criticism surrounding Jerry Jones, he has put together a nice offseason, addressing the help the Cowboys needed at premium positions," McKenna wrote. "They actually have the fifth-hardest strength of schedule. But if you look at their depth chart from top to bottom, they are absurdly talented. Dallas has looked foolish in headlines this offseason, but this team is way more dangerous than we think." Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer on the field before the game against the Las Vegas Raiders at AT&T Stadium.© Tim Heitman-Imagn Images If we offered fans a 10-7 season and playoff football right now, we imagine the majority would take it. Advertisement If we are being truthful, that would be a relatively successful season for Schotty in Year 1. Yes, it isn't what this franchise or fan base wants. They want a Super Bowl, but as Schottenheimer stated this week, it's a process. Winning 10 games and making the playoffs would be validation that Dallas is on the right track under Schotty. Plus, that means the franchise takes it up to both the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, two teams considered to be at the top of the NFC pecking order. And that would constitute a very good season for the Cowboys.

Cowboys Icon Highlights Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Hypocrisy
Cowboys Icon Highlights Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Hypocrisy originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - According to a former Dallas Cowboys star, the Pittsburgh Steelers have jumped from the frying pan right into the fire. Advertisement When the Steelers traded talented-but-temperamental receiver George Pickens to the Cowboys, rumors out of Pittsburgh surfaced that one of the reasons they gave up on him was his penchant for creating locker-room drama and distractions. Iron-fisted, football-first head coach Mike Tomlin doesn't put up with nonsense, the theory went. Until ... hello, Aaron Rodgers. Not sure what happened to Tomlin — did he go "soft" overnight? — but the Steelers want their fans to believe that Rodgers won't be the distraction they claimed Pickens was. It is Rodgers, remember, who claims that 9/11 was an inside job, that he knows more about COVID than Dr. Anthony Fauci, and that he could simply "manifest" a Super Bowl with the New York Jets with positive thoughts and vibes. He also flirted with a political career last summer and then skipped a Jets minicamp to vacation in Egypt. Advertisement On the field, Rodgers' mediocre play helped lead to a 1-4 start that got both the head coach and general manager fired. After a 5-12 season, the Jets let him walk. He is 41, and the lone Super Bowl of his 20-year career came in 2011. It was Cowboys content creator Jordan Tucker who first pointed out Pittsburgh's hypocrisy on social media. Then Dez Bryant chimed in. Wrote Tucker, "Imagine moving on from George Pickens thinking he was a locker room distraction only to end up with Aaron Rodgers as your QB." Added Dez, "You said it." To be fair, Dez knew his way around a distraction or two during his Cowboys career. And soon after agreeing with Tucker, Bryant glowed about the prospect of Rodgers succeeding in Pittsburgh. Advertisement Wrote Dez, "I think Aaron Rodgers is going to ball in Pittsburgh." Despite that seeming flip-flop, Dez's initial point stands: The Steelers rid themselves of a player who causes distractions to save their season, and have now signed a player notorious for causing distractions in an attempt to save their season.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons Offers Interesting Contract Update
Cowboys' Micah Parsons Offers Interesting Contract Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. OK, we get it, people have had enough of hearing about Micah Parsons and his contract situation with the Dallas Cowboys, as it looks set to continue well into the offseason. Advertisement But one key "deadline," if you will, for Micah and his contract is training camp, with Parsons already stating his desire to have it signed, sealed, and delivered by then. However, before that, mandatory minicamp will take place at The Star next week, and many were wondering if Micah will attend. Well, he put that to bed with a post on X, but he might also have had a subtle little dig at owner Jerry Jones over his contract situation. "I will be there! I haven't missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook ! I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it's in the owner's hands. I'm ready to win a Super Bowl !" Micah Parsons Jerry JonesBy Tony Fisher Now, we know the love Micah has for Jerry, and there is no ill will between the pair, but Parsons stating "it's in the owner's hands" when it comes to his contract suggests that the contract ball is well and truly in Mr. Jones' court. Advertisement Consider it a message. With Micah expected to sign a new deal in the region of $40 million APY and over five years, he might be telling the football world that he's ready to sign on the dotted line, but that Jerry isn't. Again, we know there isn't any hateful conflict here, and we know that Micah and Jerry have talked face-to-face on the subject at least three times ... but that it's been more than six weeks since their last session. But in the end? Micah's latest statement just let everyone know that when it comes to his contract, he believes it's on Jerry Jones to pull the trigger.
