The offseason program cranks up a little hotter on Tuesday with the start of Cowboys OTAs. But there still won’t be any contact, still no mandatory attendance, and still no CeeDee Lamb. There will, however, be plenty of eyes following Trey Lance’s every move as the club uses this next opportunity to see what they have in the former first-rounder. Dak Prescott still has no contract, but his head coach had some strong words that put him in a class literally by himself when it comes to character.

All that, plus why the Cowboys will have a tough time repeating as division champs, ranking the watchability of this year’s season opener, and digging into why Emmitt Smith says he’s disgusted with his college alma mater.

Mike McCarthy put it above what he saw from Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and even Joe Montana.
T.J. Bass, Brock Hoffman, Matt Waletzko, and Asim Richards have become dependable options just in time. Along with two true rookies up front, the Cowboys also have Terence Steele coming off an extremely down season, and…
