Cowboys signed Northwestern State WR Ed Eagan

[Vero_F250]

Eagan (5'11, 183) caught Dallas' eye at the Senior Bowl, where he was a last-minute addition and they were his coaches. Prior to that, Eagan left Northwestern State with 10 school records, including career receptions (177) and receiving yards (2,228). He boasts a 4.43 second forty, but has some stiffness in the hips that manifests in subpar acceleration out of breaks. Eagan's clearest path to the final roster is to impersonate Cole Beasley best he can and excel as a returner and special team maven. And you better believe he gets that. "They all say that special teams is going to help me stick to a team and not just get picked up or drafted but actually stick to a team," Eagan said. "It's going to be special teams. The difference between me and a lot of other people is that I can use do special teams but I can contribute in the slot too."

Is that really only a 4 inch difference?

Tim Dwight was a 2 or 3X Big Ten 100 yd sprint Champion. Pretty sure Dwight was close to 10.0 100 yard dash.

I remember seeing Dwight run a kickoff return in the Superbowl . Man that dude was fast!!

In 1998, client Tim Dwight went to the combine with strict instructions not to run his 40 or attempt any drills. He was nursing a severe groin injury from the season that was taking a long time to heal. However, once the reigning Big Ten 100-meter champ arrived, Tim’s adrenaline and competitive juices got the best of him and he decided to run. The result was his worst 40 time ever: 4.63 seconds. Horrible! The projected third-round speedster was taken in the middle of the fourth round.

10.3 100 yd dash and 20.8 in 200....

Me thinks Street and Dunbar are in trouble.

Street might as well his resume ready. He's done.

Dunbar, too. I expect an injury settlement as soon as he's cleared to play. They like him, but he can't stay healthy, and Zeke makes him an unnecessary luxury.

Why have a Cole Beasley imitation when we already have the real thing? He adds nothing to the team that we don't already have. I wish him well and hope he has a great training camp but I don't seeing him staying here.

Is that what she told you?

 

[JohnsKey19]

Can't do a good job impersonating Cole Beasley if he has stiff hips and lacks acceleration out of breaks.

 

[Hardline]

Early cut.

He is really nothing like Cole who is super quick in and out of his breaks.

 

[HellCrowe]

I'm not going to be a Homer and say negative things about signing Eagen just because I love what Beasley brings however, our Wide Reciever play was very poor last year. No one stepped up in any of their roles. That goes from playing outside/slot/and ST. Yes yes the QB but the the difference in talent that drops from Dez to our other WR core is tremendous. What adding Eagen or any player for that matter is push these guys to be better rather than stay complacent. Eagen brings in another person who can play the slot and also either start or backup the KO and PR. I love that competition.

Because you're always looking to improve the roster. Beasley is entirely expendable. If this guy can do what he does or better for cheaper/younger, you make the move.

This guy will be cut and end up in New England in 2-3 years being called the next Wes Welker/Danny Amendola/Julian Edelman
