Keenan Allen is projected as a possible Cowboys reinforcement: Is he the player they need?

The Cowboys have made no secret of their need to lighten the load on CeeDee Lamb. He’s been everything Dallas hoped for and more, but the help behind him? Inconsistent at best. Now that the NFL Draft has passed without a major move at receiver, the front office may need to shift gears toward veteran reinforcements.

Names like George Pickens, Courtland Sutton, and Amari Cooper have floated around, but here’s one that hasn’t gone away: Keenan Allen.

Pat McAfee takes a hit of a weed pen on LIVE TV and even offers Mike McCarthy

At 33, Allen isn’t the burner Dallas fans might crave. But he’s still producing – 744 yards and seven touchdowns last season in a sluggish Chicago offense. His game isn’t built on speed anymore; it’s built on technique, timing, and experience. And that might be exactly what Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy are missing in crunch time.

Tyler Lockett’s deal may have quietly changed everything

Just days ago, the Titans signed Tyler Lockett for only $4 million. For context, Spotrac projected Keenan Allen’s market value at over $11 million annually. Lockett’s number might’ve just reset expectations for veteran wideouts across the board. If Allen is willing to take something closer to $7-8 million? Suddenly, he’s in Dallas’s financial ballpark.

And that matters – especially for a front office that’s notorious for playing it safe in free agency. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Dallas has been “waiting for the right veteran value.” This might be it.

Allen doesn’t need to be WR1. He needs to be the savvy option on third-and-7, the red zone chess piece, the guy who reads defenses like a second QB. Add him to a lineup with Lamb and Jake Ferguson, and suddenly Dallas has options – not just hope.

The Cowboys may not need to swing for the fences. They just need a solid hit. Keenan Allen, at the right price, might be exactly that.

NFL have no plans for ICE immigration enforcement at Super Bowl

The NFL have no plans for ICE immigration enforcement at this Sunday's Super Bowl.Two people were killed in the United States last month by ICE agents since President Donald Trump commenced what he's called the "largest immigration enforcement operation ever" in Minnesota. Reuters have reported security ahead of Sunday's game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will be consistent with past Super Bowls. Homeland Security is understood to be responsible for helping coordinate several federal agencies that are handling security at the ⁠event."Security is obviously one of the things we focus on the most," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell when asked about the possibility of ICE being on the ground. "It's a SEAR-1 level event that involves unique assets at the federal level, state level and the local level, all working together. I see no change in that. […]

The Sam Darnold story: Can Seahawks star crown comeback at Super Bowl?

Sam Darnold went to New York and lived to tell the tale. Lost like Macaulay, on hold to the Ghostbusters, risen like the Dark Knight.It is less rags to riches, but rather mono to magic, Gotham to glory, 'stupid' Sam (his words) to Super Bowl Sam. Sport lives for stories like that of Sam Darnold. A tale of career redemption, a jagged arc that preserves the art of surprise, a sharp jab to the throat of premature prophets. They don't come around all that often anymore, for sport lives in desperate search of proven quantities and known commodities in an era of no-stone-unturned analysis and preparation, rash to scarper at the sight of adversity and all too obsessed with immediacy - thanks a lot, elite-straight-away Patrick Mahomes. There, of course, is also the reality of damning circumstances, the definition of […]
