NFL Trade Rumors
Cowboys QB Joe Milton said he preferred being traded to Dallas from New England and was excited to work with QB Dak Prescott.
“Definitely, I preferred it,” Milton said, via the Cowboys’ website. “That was something me and my team put together. They were able to get it done, I really didn’t have to do much or say much. So just shout out to my agent, that’s pretty much it. Dak is a great leader,. All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help. I’ve been in another building. I know how that goes. It’s just very different over here.”
Cowboys COO Stephen Jones detailed how HC Brian Schottenheimer didn’t even realize how serious the team was about hiring him as the next head coach during meetings after the season ended.
“At first, he was just coming in wearing his coaching garb,” Jones said, via NY Times. “Then he upped his game and started showing up in a suit and tie, ʼcause he was getting an inkling that maybe there’s more to this.”
Schottenheimer added that he believed he would never become a head coach and reflected on getting the call as he turned 50.
“I thought I had missed my window,” he concedes. “It’s a young man’s game. My wife and I would sit around at night sometimes talking about it during the offseason, like, ‘Damn, it would have been cool to lead my own team at some point,’ because I knew I would be good at it. I say that humbly. I knew that I’d be good at it because of my people skills, my ability to lead. But I had to come to peace with that.”
Giants
Giants QB Jaxson Dart says the game is already starting to slow down for him as he reached training camp and spoke about improvements and adjustments he has made so far since being drafted by New York.
