Weird

I thought I remember reading somewhere on the DMN blog about Hawkins in the OTAs, oh well, at least I get to be surprised now.

I think we have a player signed

by the name of Julian Hawkins.

What’s the point of another big WR? Is he gonna battle w/Mike Jefferson and Ogletree? At least, Hawkins offered something variety at the position. The dude can fly, run crisp routes, and securely tackle on ST if needed.

Holley seems like a decent wideout and all, but imo the Cowboys are letting a unique talent slip away up north in favor of the same frame of WRs they simply seem to covet.

Maybe Rocket Ismail can mediate between the Alouettes and da King.

Interesting.

Bet it’s a fake team…an elaborate hoax to further show the awesomeness of Irvin and da King’s business relationship.

It really doesn't matter

Hawkins isn’t expected to start in Montreal. If he can’t play for the Alouettes, I doubt that he would have much of an impact with the Cowboys.

Unlike a Cowboys' season, in life, there may not be a next year.

Please don't post stuff like this

Or at least give a spoiler warning in the title. It’s the dead time of year and 4th and Long is pretty much the only football related entertainment I have. I’d like it to at least be interesting.
