In light of the situation with Chargers' second-round pick Tre Harris planning to hold out from training camp, do we have a similar situation looming with our unsigned second-round rookie, defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku? How detrimental would that be to both Ezeiruaku's development and the Cowboys' defensive plans? – Rudy Longoria/San Antonio, TX
Mickey: Just so you understand, this has little to do with Donovan and all about the agent, Athletes First Andre Odom trying to follow suit with all the other second-round agents trying to negotiate the unprecedented fully guaranteed deals the top two picks in the second round signed. My guess is the teams will not acquiesce to this collusion. Now at least he did attend the offseason programs, so that helps. And remember, those first four days of training camp is not more than strength and conditioning and the ramp-up phase. And yes, if he misses more than that, this will impact his ability to contribute as a rookie or at least slow it down. If Ezeiruaku is smart, and appears he is, just needs to tell his agent to get 'er done. With the Cowboys need for depth at defensive end, no sense jeopardizing a great opportunity.
Tommy: He absolutely could, and all other 30 players drafted in the second round are facing the same predicament with their teams. If Ezeiruaku is unsigned, he can't participate at camp, and of course that would be a massive detriment to Ezeiruaku's development. Last year, you saw first hand how missing time in training camp effected Tyler Guyton, who was playing in one of the most important roles in the offense in his rookie season. Dallas is deep at defensive end, so losing Ezeiruaku for a short period may not detour things too much, but it would mean giving snaps to a player that maybe can't do as much for you as Ezeiruaku can. That's obviously not what anybody wants, so at some point, something is going to have to give in this stalemate between agents, players and teams. Whether that be a player deciding training camp reps are too valuable and settle for less guaranteed money, or a team deciding a player participating fully at training camp is too valuable and give away more guaranteed money, eventually I think we see a pretty quick finish to this once the first domino falls.
