Miles Austin is going to receive contract extension from Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have just signed all the rookies to make sure the training camp will begin with no one being missed. The next thing they are going to do is to solve contract disputes with the veterans. And the first thing is to work out a long-term contract extension with Pro Bowl wide receiver Miles Austin.

Entering his fourth season with the Cowboys, Austin is also entering the last year on his current contract. In order to get a contract extension, he held out some of the offseason workouts to show his disappointment. However, when he was hanging out with friends wearing Favre jerseys, the Cowboys drafted former college star receiver Dez Bryant and gave the rookie the number 88 that was worn on legendary Michael Irvin jersey to show their emphasis on younger receivers. As a result Austin returned to retain his position in the team and waited for proper chance to restart the contract talks.

Now the chance comes and the Cowboys officials proved that they never forgot about Austin’s contract issue. They were just too busy at signing rookies to talk with Austin. Now that the rookies were all signed, the Cowboys will take time to negotiate with Austin about the new contract. Considering his standout performance in last season, the Cowboys will possibly give Austin a significant salary raise.

Cowboys’ rookie WR Bryant threw up again

While the Dallas Cowboys were having their organized team activities on Tuesday morning, rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant caused more worries on his health condition as he seemed to be sick and threw up again during workouts.

It’s still not sure whether Bryant threw up because of stomach virus or food poisoning, but it’s most likely to be stomach issues as the rookie already had a previous throw-up during the rookie minicamp. At that time, former wearer of number 88, Michael Irvin was present and witnessed his young successor ruin his first workout with disgusting stuff in his stomach. However, Irvin still encouraged the rookie and expressed his kind wish to Bryant. Irvin also told reporters that Bryant was great and the throw-up did not affect his potential to be a great receiver.

Now Bryant’s stomach seemed in worse condition than we previously thought. What would Irvin thought now? Will he still consider Bryant deserves the number formerly on Michael Irvin jersey? Well, Irvin has not been available to comment on the latest happening, but I guess he will soon make new comments. The number just linked him to the rookie and that link may last for the remaining career of Bryant.

WR Bryant might lose his chance of putting on Browns jersey

Being ranked the top wide receiver of this year’s draft, former Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant has to manage a list of teams that he is going to visit. However, his value seems dropped to some team like the Cleveland Browns, who were said to be no longer interested in the receiver.

According to some rumors, the Browns will cancel the visit of Bryant as they removed his name from the team’s list of acquirable players. One of the possible reasons is that the Browns would not like to take a player with checkered background and Bryant is well-known for his off-field issues. That is reasonable if we recall why the Browns released wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who was signed by the New York Jets two days after being cut and how they gave up tenth overall pick Michael Crabtree to the San Francisco 49ers.

The Browns under head coach Eric Mangini have a lot of reasons to be strict or careful with players’ background, but the problem is other teams are making bold move to acquire as good player as possible and the remaining players that are qualified to put on Browns jersey may be just less talented.
