Jerry Jones’ Cowboys are crumbling off the field — and may on it
http://nypost.com/2016/07/02/jerry-jones-cowboys-are-crumbling-off-the-field-and-may-on-it/
NFL training camps open at the end of this month, and that will no doubt come as a relief to the Cowboys.
The offseason has been anything but kind to Jerry Jones’ team this year, and the bad news for Dallas is there are more than three weeks left of it.
The latest offseason body blow came late last week, when the NFL announced that troubled Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain had been suspended for the first 10 regular-season games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.
That announcement came just hours after the NFL confirmed Dallas defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence’s four-game ban, for violating the same policy as McClain, had been upheld.
McClain and Lawrence will join defensive end Randy Gregory, who was suspended in February for the first four games and give the Cowboys an embarrassing trifecta of defenders banned for violating the drug policy.
The bad offseason news — coming after an equally miserable 4-12 finish last season — didn’t end there for Jones and the Cowboys.
Five players key to Dallas’ bounce-back hopes also are trying to come back from offseason surgeries: Tony Romo (collarbone), Dez Bryant (foot), running back Darren McFadden (elbow), linebacker Sean Lee (knee) and newly signed defensive end Benson Mayowa (knee).
McFadden’s surgery is the most recent, and also was a PR black eye for the Cowboys because running backs coach Gary Brown initially lied and said McFadden fractured his elbow trying to catch his falling iPhone. McFadden admitted last week that it stemmed from a fall on wet cement instead...
