On Wednesday, June 5, the Dallas Cowboys will return to minicamp as the exciting offseason continues. While he looks for a big contract, Micah Parsons arrived for the start of minicamp on Tuesday, but CeeDee Lamb opted to forgo it in order to work on a new contract. Lamb will pay penalty of about $100,000 if he skips the first week of minicamp. While we wait for those challenges to resolve themselves, let’s take a look at some of the Cowboys Nation news you might have missed.
While on a family vacation in Mexico, Jayla Allen, the daughter of Larry Allen, broke her silence over the loss of the legendary Cowboys player, Pro Football Hall of Famer, and Super Bowl champion. Jayla shares a number of pictures of the two taken over the years, saying she is “heartbroken” and in “complete shock” by the abrupt passing. “I don’t know how to write this message and what to say,” the writer stated. I’m stunned beyond belief. This feels like a bad dream, and I can’t wait to wake up. I used to pray every night for you to be safe. Dad, this doesn’t feel real. I’m devastated and unsure about what to do next.” Allen was just fifty-two.
Since rookie minicamps and OTAs, Cowboys third-round selection Marist Liufau has drawn attention, and that hasn’t changed. Since minicamp began, the former top player for Notre Dame has not slowed down, and both his teammates and coaches have nothing but admiration for him. “He’s a sponge,” said Damone Clark, a former fourth-round selection. “He has a lot of inquiries. He puts his all into all that he does. He puts his all into every play, and he has no limits. Marist is going to be among the select ones.
In his first season, Liufau has the potential to be a huge asset for the team as defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer assembles a new linebacker corps that includes All-Pro veteran Eric Kendricks, Clark, Liufau, and DeMarvion Overshown, who is making a comeback from an ACL tear.
