Cowboys’ Draftees Face a Rush
By Rafael Vela
During the Jones’ Era the Cowboys have waited until the days before camp opened and then signed their draft picks in a rush. Stephen Jones is sticking to the familiar, signing 6th round FB Deon Anderson and getting close to deals with late round defensive backs Alan Ball and Courtney Brown.
The team has begun negotiations with top pick Anthony Spencer. Oddly enough, the lack of a second round pick this year should help the Cowboys get all their rookies to camp on time. A change in the league’s CBA limited the length of 2nd round contracts to four years. This is forcing agents and teams to compress the period over which signing bonus money can be spread and is causing confusion league wide. As of Friday no 2nd round picks had signed a deal.
