What will be the biggest Cowboys storylines during training camp?
Inside The Star Inside The Star

The Dallas Cowboys training camp starts in just 11 days, and with that, I thought it might be a good time to dive into what some of the bigger storylines might be when July 22nd rolls around.

I understand that some of these you might agree with, and some you might not, but these are the ones that I think are worth keeping an eye on when things get rolling in a little over a week.

Brian Schottenheimer

The first look at Brain Schottenheimer is the first thing that is going to be on my mind.

We all know he was hand-picked by not only the front office, but Dak Prescott and the rest of the offensive guys, who probably did not want to leave an entire new system yet again.

Over the summer months, we have seen the players buy into the vibes Schotty has been bringing to the team, but can he coach? That is the biggest question.

Yes, it will only be training camp, but let’s see how he starts the summer off and how the flow goes.

Trust Any RB?

I will be tuned into who is the first running back to take the bull by its horns and attempt to run away with the job.

Javonte Williams is the guy everyone thinks will be the starter for the most part, but it will likely be a running back by committee with him, Miles Sanders and rookie Jaydon Blue.

Blue is expected to push for playing time. He’s quick, dangerous in open space, and finished his final college season with 368 receiving yards. The team sees him as a possible third-down option.

We thought the same type of thing going into last season with Rico Dowdle, and it did not work until they let him just take control.

I think at some point we are going to see one of these guys separate from the others and clearly become the guy they trust to carry the load.

I just don’t know who it will be.

Contract Time

Let me first start by saying that I think watching to see who will emerge as the WR3 and WR4 is just as big, but I think Jalen Tolbert has a commanding edge for WR3, so that is why I am going with: when will the contract for Micah Parsons happen?

We saw CeeDee Lamb get paid late last year and Dak Prescott got his legit right before opening kickoff of the first game of the year.

NFL decision-makers ranked Micah Parsons as the No. 3 EDGE rusher in the NFL going into 2025.

Jerry needs to get Micah paid before TJ Watt gets his money. It is already high enough because of the Myles Garrett contact, so please get this done before Watt once again resets the market.
