Owner Jerry Jones praised Schottenheimer’s deep knowledge of the prospects, noting his readiness to contribute in the draft room. The Cowboys’ draft decisions were made collectively, demonstrating a commitment to collaboration and hard work throughout the preparation phase.

• Eagles C Cameron Jurgens signed a four-year, $68 million extension that includes $23,346,000 fully guaranteed at signing, per Over The Cap.
• Jurgens received a $9.246 million signing bonus and base salaries of $1.1 million, $1.215 million, $1.26 million, $1.305 million and $1.435 million. He has four option bonuses: $11.535 million in 2026, $14.49 million in 2027, $15.445 million in 2028 and $14.315 million in 2029.

There is a $1 million roster bonus in the final year of the deal and annual $250,000 workout bonuses from 2027-2029. Another $5 million in incentives is available over the life of the deal.

Giants

The Giants prioritized getting another running back in the backfield this offseason, selecting former Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo in the fourth round. Giants HC Brian Daboll said Skattebo fit the bill for what they were looking for.

“Toughness all the way through the draft was something that we have talked about, both mental and physical,” Daboll said via Matt Citak of the team website. “I think Skattebo has got both.”

Skattebo added that he thinks his defining trait can have a positive impact on the whole team.

“Physicality is definitely contagious,” Skattebo said. “If someone gets ran over, it hypes the other guys up and it gets them going. I’m going to continue to bring that and hopefully it feeds off on to my teammates.”

He’s also open to doing whatever it takes to get on the field, including playing on special teams.

“I did play some special teams, something I can do, something I will do in the league, and something I’m going to take very prideful in what I do because that can lead to a long career,” he said. “I’m excited to, like I said, play any role that they give me, and it’s going to be fun.”
