The #DallasCowboys didn’t see signs prior to DE Marshawn Kneeland’s death, which why it’s so “shocking.” QB Dak Prescott and DT Solomon Thomas have dealt with processing through death of a loved one by suicide. That’s why many in Dallas are leaning on them. www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cow...

I wrote this column last night before the #DallasCowboys traded a 2026 seventh-round pick for Bengals LB Logan Wilson. He’s an upgrade over Kenneth Murray and Jack Sanborn at a low cost, but Dallas’ defense is too broken for them to rebound this season.
