Cowboys rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku optimistic about contract talks

The Dallas Cowboys kicked off their 2025 mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and had perfect attendance. That doesn’t mean they don’t have a couple of contract situations that need to be addressed.

The second-round pick is the only rookie yet to sign with Big D, but he’s not sweating that.

Thankfully, they’ll also have a player ready to get rolling once he’s signed since he’s approaching the season with the right mindset.

“I didn’t think the 49ers would dare to call a trick play in a playoff game, especially in Philadelphia. It’s truly admirable.” legendary Tom Brady said right after the game on FOX Sports. He added that the 49ers are an incredibly composed team, willing to take risks when the moment is at its biggest. The play where Jauan Jennings threw a touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey immediately reminded Brady of the legendary “Philly Special.” That moment left Lincoln Financial Field completely stunned.
