Rush, Appleby. Seems like the Cowboys are desperate for a QB.

I like Thomas a lot, I think he can make it as the 3rd RB and special teamer.

I'm sold.

Plans For Rico

Jason Witten is 34 years old, and while nobody doubts his reliable hands, speed isn’t exactly an asset for him at this point. Given that, some thought the Cowboys might keep an eye on potential tight end prospects in this year’s draft. But the draft came and went and Dallas never took a tight end to eventually fill the shoes of their future Hall of Famer.

Immediately after the draft, Jerry Jones explained why the position wasn’t really on their radar. Last season they took a chance on Rico Gathers, a converted basketball player out of Baylor. Gathers spent last season on the practice squad, but the Cowboys saw him as a project and they aren’t disappointed with his development.

“Rico is definitely everything the coaches thought he was,” Jones said after the draft.

He also said that the Cowboys will be witnessing the next phase of that project this coming season.

“He will be a contributor this year,” Jones said emphatically.

The Cowboys drafted Swaim in 2015 and Gathers in 2016. That they passed on a TE this year tells me how they feel about those guys.

Agreed. Absolutely.

Appleby is nothing more than a camp arm.... I'd wish for anyone but him.......

Young man had a dream though, so congrats on making it kid

I'm sold.

Spread offenses and "defenseless receiver" rules have made quick, small guys more valuable than ever in today's NFL. In the old days these guys had short careers, if they had careers at all.

Really surprised Jerod Evans wasn't one of the QBs with an agreement with the Cowboys.

The dude's smart. Put him on the coaching fast track.

Much more cutting ability. Jackson had size and speed, but was a more straight line. Thomas is thinly built and runs upright, but he's got a good burst and can change directions on a dime.

How does Thomas compare to Darius Jackson?

I'd sum it up this way based on what I'm seeing... he's got some Sproles to him.

Yup, Purdue transfer..... Kid from my hometown is a QB there presently(engineering)

I'm sold.

Ha! Love that spin move against air. But seriously, I like the KR potential...he's very shifty.

I just mute it and play classic rock in the background. AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Sabbath, much better.

This would do it for me. Thomas and Skipper.

Lost one...



In follow-up tweet, he says the Dallas thing was just a rumor that didn't have legs.

Give me Cole Hikutini, Jerod Evans, Joe Mathis and Corey Clement.

Mathis would make my day!
