Report: Cowboys planning to pick up 5th year option on former #UConn DB Byron Jones

Ian Rapoport‏ @RapSheet 2h 2 hours ago
The #Cowboys are expected to pick up the fifth-year option for Byron Jones, source said. That should give him $6.17M salary for 2019, one that is guaranteed for injury. The 2015 first-round pick should benefit from a full-time move to corner.

>>Williams, heading into his fifth NFL season, played the last three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons (2015-17) after spending a year with the Washington Redskins (2013).

The 5-foot-10, 184-pound Williams has played in 22 games in his career. He has 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns. He had his best NFL season in 2015 in Atlanta, when he caught 17 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns.

Current Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur served as quarterbacks coach with the Falcons in 2015-16. Williams initially signed with the Redskins as a free agent in 2013. LaFleur was also quarterbacks coach with the Redskins that season.<<

Nick Williams signed by Titans

Great landing spot for Nicky-Will. Instead of competing for playing time in Atlanta with Julio Jones, Mohammed Sanu, Justin Hardy, Devin Fuller, Deonte Burton and Marvin Hall, he's now competing with Rishard Matthews, Corey Davis, Tajae Harpe, Taywan Taylor, Zach Pascal, Darrius Jennings, and Michael Camponaro. I like his chances.
Good luck Nick!!

>>On our way back from LA we connected with my friend, NFL player Geremy Davis. He just strained his hamstring at practice and openly talked through how frustrating setbacks can be as a professional athlete and what he does to mentally and emotional overcome adversity. <<

Sounds like Gruden is not happy with Obi’s progress coming back from injury.

Tim Boyle is turning heads and moving up the depth chart in Green Bay.

Could Tim Boyle win the Packers’ No. 3 QB job in training camp?

Honestly, could we have had a worse stretch of coaching between P and Diaco? Then Verducci comes on as OC with his youth football background to ice the cake.

The Jim Fuller version: UConn, Yale alums scattered across NFL training camps

(There are 17 former UConn players in Camps (not 14 - UConnBlog is missing a few).
