• Four Cowboys hit the portal yesterday – best-returning wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, offensive lineman with the most experience returning Isaia Glass, former four-star recruit Kendal Daniels, and Aussie punter Hudson Kaak (PFB)

• Diggin into new defensive coordinator Todd Grantham – you can see the statistical qualities of his defenses here and three things to know about him here (PFB)

• Berry Tramel quoted sources in an article over the weekend citing what appears to be Mike Gundy’s newest deal:

Sources say Gundy will take a $1 million pay cut, to $6.75 million a year, and the rollover is gone. So he’ll have four years left, with a buyout next off-season of about $15 million.

The only unknown from the negotiations is what kind of concessions Gundy makes on administrative oversight.
