Redskins | WAS president says Kirk Cousins will stay
Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins will return in 2017, according to team president Bruce Allen. When asked, on a scale of 1-to-10, the likelihood of Cousins being back with the club next season, Allen said he’d put it as a ’10.’ He also added, ‘Yeah, Kirk is our quarterback. He’s played well the last two years. I know there’s other speculation, but it doesn’t come from the Redskins.’
Saints | Mike Nolan interviewing with Saints
Former San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan will interview with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday, Jan. 25, for a position on the team’s defensive coaching staff.
Cowboys | Zack Martin’s option will be exercised
Dallas Cowboys OG Zack Martin’s fifth-year option will be exercised, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. ‘A big priority for us is to keep Zack around,’ Jones said.
Footballguys View: Martin is one of the best in the game, so the Cowboys should most certainly exercise his fifth-year option. Next, the two sides need to work in 2017 to get Martin a new long-term deal.
Cowboys | Dallas wants to re-sign receivers
Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WRs Terrance Williams and Brice Butler will hopefully be re-signed this offseason, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones.
Footballguys View: Butler has the speed to take off the top of the defense, and they should be able to keep him around at a good price. Williams perhaps has more potential, and maybe a new start somewhere else would do him some good. If he’s happy with his no.2 role behind Dez Bryant, then Williams could stick with Dallas.
Cowboys | Demarcus Lawrence will have surgery
Dallas Cowboys DE Demarcus Lawrence (back) will undergo back surgery this offseason, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. Lawrence underwent back surgery last offseason as well.
Footballguys View: A second-round pick out of Boise State in 2014, Lawrence only had one sack for the Cowboys this year in nine games. In the final year of his rookie deal, it would be good for Lawrence to play a full season and produce better numbers as he’ll likely hit free agency in 2018.
