MORE: Greatest Cowboys of all time | Former NFL RB Lawrence Phillips hinted at cellmate’s death The deal will reportedly pay Crawford $25.7 million in guarantees with $17.4 million fully guaranteed. The fourth-year pro was set to play out the final year of his rookie contract worth $675,000, but the two sides wanted to get something done before Sunday’s season opener against the Giants. Crawford has 53 tackles and three sacks in two NFL seasons — he missed all of 2013 with a torn Achilles — but the Cowboys are expecting him to be the driving force in their improved run defense for years to come....

Dallas’ 2016 schedule is mostly kind, offering the Cowboys a chance to return to the playoffs with a slate that includes just six games against teams with winning records in 2015.

Blandino typically sends a supervisor to each of the 32 teams, but the firestorm surrounding this particular call warranted a personal visit from the biggest name in NFL officiating....

Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones told reporters last week that the team would “obviously” trigger the clause. Star running back Elliott will now stay in Dallas through to 2020. He is set to make $3.9million in base salary in the upcoming season, a figure that will jump to $9m the following year. Last season, the 23-year-old rushed for a league-leading 1,434 yards with six touchdowns. Overall, Elliott has rushed for 4,048 yards with 28 TDs and has led all tailbacks in rushing for two of his three years in the NFL....

Prescott is dealing with a calf injury and is considered questionable for the game. He wants to play, but the Cowboys may exercise caution if he’s less than 100 percent. As such, that has brought up another key question for Cowboys supporters. Who is Dallas’ backup quarterback? Last season, Andy Dalton held down that role. He, Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci combined to start 11 games for the Cowboys. However, the Cowboys’ QB room underwent a lot of changes during the 2021 offseason and none are on Dallas’ 53-man roster in 2021....

Dallas and Philadelphia battled for top spot in the division on Sunday and the Cowboys emerged triumphant over the Super Bowl champions thanks to receiver Amari Cooper. Cooper recorded 10 receptions for 217 yards and three touchdowns in a stellar performance in Arlington. With the victory, the Cowboys – who have won their last five games – improved to 8-5 and claimed sole ownership of the lead in the NFC East, two games ahead of the Eagles (6-7)....

Executive Producer Peter Conelley told OXM “It won’t be there at release, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to work on it. We want to do it properly.” He went on to talk further about the prospect of the video replay function: Crackdown 2 joins another sandbox title this year to bring video capture and replay to the fray (Just Cause 2). I for one think it is about time that sandbox games get video replay functions....

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is unapologetic about its difficulty, forcing players to perform near-flawlessly to complete some of the later tracks in Adventure Mode. Unlike games like Mario Kart where pretty much anyone can pick up the controller and win, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled requires practice, track memorization, picking the right character for each situation, and mastering its drifting and power slide mechanics if players hope to get through the game on even Medium difficulty....

LONDON (Reuters) - As the number of Premier League clubs knocked out of this season’s FA Cup by lower division opponents reached six on Sunday, debate intensified over whether the competition was being devalued by leading teams resting so many players. Hull City and Watford joined Bournemouth, Liverpool, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion in losing to sides from the second or third tier in this year’s competition, most of them making several changes to their strongest lineups....

Norman, known for her work in Hancock and Adam Ruins Everything, had been reportedly well along in the process of getting the green light on her own series, which was based on her own background and would essentially follow the same formula that Mixed-ish would eventually use. The concept of a series focusing on a biracial young woman struggling with her identity and those around her may not seem all that unique on the surface, but the execution was allegedly far too similar to that of the Black-ish spinoff to be a ignored....

India only had one practice match ahead of their recent Test series against England - which they lost 1-4 - and Shastri believes his side would be better prepared to tackle Australia if more red-ball cricket was scheduled prior to the first Test in Adelaide starting on December 6. “We are happy to discuss options with the BCCI, but we have not received any formal notification to increase the number of tour matches prior to their series commencing in Australia,” a Cricket Australia spokesperson was quoted as saying....

After months of negotiations within their caucus to reach a deal, House Democrats passed a four-bill criminal justice package Thursday worth millions of dollars to bolster the budgets of small local police departments around the country. Together, the legislation would introduce millions in officer safety, de-escalation, and domestic violence response training; provide grants for small departments to recruit new officers alongside retention bonuses to keep existing officers; investments for officers pursuing graduate degrees in public health, social work, and mental health, and additional funding to allow police departments to fund mental health resources for their officers....

I can’t name the person, because it’s not just one person. I’m putting forward the sentiments that dwell within millions of dejected hearts that now seek solace. But to keep things in perspective, let’s assume it’s just a person. So when I use a ‘He’, it means that one person who for now can’t come to terms with the reality that CR7 is really gone. Ronaldo had to go someday, he knew that....

“Most of the time, I inspired myself,” Ronaldo told Unscriptd. “I’m self-motivated. But of course, at that age, I was looking at a big reference in the national team - for example, [Luis] Figo, Rui Costa, Fernando Couto. It was kind of a dream to reach that level.” “The national team, I’d look at them and I’d speak for myself: I want to be a professional player and I want to play for the national team....

The decision to sit Ronaldo naturally led to criticism, despite the results. One of the more notable opponents of the move was Georgina Rodríguez, Ronaldo’s longtime girlfriend. The model voiced her displeasure on Instagram following Tuesday’s match while praising Portugal for its victory. “Congratulations Portugal. While the 11 players sang the anthem, all eyes were on you. What a shame not to have been able to enjoy the best player in the world for 90 minutes,” Rodríguez wrote....

Ronaldo, 37, has scored just three goals in 14 appearances across competitions. That includes just one goal scored in nine Premier League outings. However, a more worrying statistic for the Portuguese striker is that his shot conversion rate has fallen from 16 percent last season to just five this term. The Manchester United forward has taken 22 shots, though it ranks Ronaldo at 53rd out of the Premier League forwards....

According to El Chiringuito TV, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will not be joining the Serie A club this summer. With just three days to go before the summer transfer window shuts, the striker is yet to resolve his future. Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United from Juventus last summer for £13 million. The Red Devils signed him in the hope that he would be able to lead the Red Devils to their first Premier League title in nearly a decade....

Critics have railed against the DNC for offering a seemingly hypocritical message after they launched the fundraising video Monday. The spot featured 10 candidates reading the same message about uniting the party behind whoever wins the nomination in July. But Gabbard, who recently broke ranks in Congress and voted “present” rather than in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump, was nowhere to be seen in the so-called “unity” video. She has consistently polled higher than at least two of the candidates who were featured....

Coree Summerville had been fishing at The Strand Pier in Townsville in Queensland, Australia, on Saturday, the Townsville Bulletin reported. The 15-year-old jumped into the water to help a turtle after he noticed it was belly up and struggling. But moments after Summerville hit the water and grabbed the turtle, a crocodile struck. The crocodile—which the teenager estimates was more than 6 feet long—ate half of the turtle before leaving....
