On April 4th, the Dallas Cowboys are rebuilding their defense this off-season, grabbing Ed rusher Rashan Gary from Green Bay, safety, Jalen Thompson. On a three-year deal up to $33 million, and corners like Kobe Durant and Darian Kendrick.

Then comes the 20-26 draft on April 23rd, where Dallas holds eight picks including two first rounders at 12th and 20th. Overall, they picked up extra capital from trades like sending Osa Odizua to San Francisco for the 92nd spot. Coach Brian Schadenheimer says he's happy with the vets, but still eyes nickel corner and inside linebacker needs. Maybe feeling those in the draft. With guys who have sharp instincts surrounded by talent, OTAs hit June 1st through 2nd, 4th, 8th through 9th, and 11th, leading to mandatory minicam June 16th to 18th. Meanwhile, a fun corn hole showdown between Dak Prescott and Luka Donji got sidelined

by Lucas Gray to hamstring strain against Oklahoma City on. April 2nd. The free event at Rola Town Beer Works in Frisco is postponed, but at a return once he's healed, Dallas roots run deep there. With training camp looming, these workouts give new defensive coordinator Christian Parker his first full reps, blending rookies, trades, and holdovers, setting the stage for a squad ready to roll, come fall.
