New York Jets WR Stacy Coley, CB Rashard Robinson and DL Charles Tapper were waived Friday, May 10.
Footballguys view: Coley was a seventh-round pick last year, but failed to stick with the Vikings. Robinson was once a starter for the 49ers, but has seen his stock plummet over the last year. |

Footballguys view: The Cowboys are short-handed in the secondary and at middle linebacker. Todd Gurley and Jared Goff both have good outlooks this week in what could be a high-scoring game. |

Cowboys | Dallas to limit six players early Sun Jul 23, 03:28 PM
Dallas Cowboys DE Demarcus Lawrence, DE Charles Tapper, OG Joe Looney, DE Benson Mayowa, TE Geoff Swaim and TE James Hanna are all expected to be limited early in training camp.
Footballguys view: Lawrence is the big name here, coming off of his second back injury in as many years. The team is already losing David Irving for four games and lost Randy Gregory to suspension. If Lawrence struggles to get back up to speed, first-round pick Taco Charlton could be asked to do a lot right away, |

Cowboys | Charles Tapper loses weight Sat Jun 17, 08:26 AM
Dallas Cowboys DE Charles Tapper has lost nearly 20 pounds since the end of last season and is down to 11 percent body fat from 13 percent in an attempt to increase his agility.
Footballguys view: Defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli wants Tapper to shift from an interior spot on the defensive line to a spot where he lines up on the outside shoulder of the tackle. A fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma in 2016, Tapper missed his entire rookie season due to injury. With his back problems behind him, Tapper is likely to be a key piece of the Cowboys rotation up front. |

Footballguys view: A fourth-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, we didn't get to see Tapper during his rookie season due to a broken back. Tapper is a raw player who needs to work on his technique, but he has the natural strength to stuff the run with authority. |

Footballguys view: The Cowboys can't afford any more losses to the defensive line. They're already missing players up front due to suspensions, so they need to be cautious with both players moving forward. |

Cowboys | Two rookies sign Tue May 31, 05:22 PM
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and DE Charles Tapper signed their four-year rookie deals Tuesday, May 31. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Prescott could be the QB of the future for the Cowboys...and that future may come soon if Tony Romo continues to battle injuries. During his college career at Mississippi State, Prescott was an athletic QB who had to work behind a bad offensive line. He can hurt a defense as a scrambler, but Prescott is underrated as a passer. Earlier this year during the week of practice for the Senior Bowl, Prescott went out of his way to show that he could throw with timing and touch from the pocket. We're excited about his upside in dynasty leagues, but he's got no re-draft value so long as Romo is healthy. |
