Kevin Sherrington\u2019s A La Carte<\/p>\n

\u2014 Deion Sanders once claimed that, in the best interests of his son, he might pull an \u201cEli Manning,\u201d meaning he\u2019d force a trade to keep Shedeur from playing for what he considered an undesirable franchise, as the Mannings did in 2004. Like Archie, who didn\u2019t want Eli working for the Chargers, Deion had a problem with one franchise in particular. Cleveland, in fact<\/a>. Same organization that rescued his son from his long freefall over the weekend. Any port in a storm, Coach Prime?<\/p>\n

\u2014 When the Cowboys used the 16th pick of the 2014 draft, Will McClay\u2019s first, on Zack Martin, a guard, Jerry Jones first had to be talked out of Johnny Manziel<\/a>. When the 12th pick came around Thursday, the Cowboys took another guard, Tyler Booker<\/a>. Jerry didn\u2019t argue for Shedeur this time, mostly because he\u2019s learned to trust McClay. Also because he\u2019s already made Dak Prescott the most expensive football player in NFL history, a distinction he cited repeatedly. Seemed like a message to me.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Cowboys plowed through three days of drafts and couldn\u2019t find a receiver anywhere<\/a>. I\u2019m not particular. Either Amari Cooper or Keenan Allen would do just fine.<\/p>\n

Cowboys<\/p>\n

\u2014 Quinn Ewers took a pay cut to go from Texas to the Dolphins \u2014 where he\u2019ll make $873,363 as a seventh-round pick \u2014 but not as much as it cost him if he\u2019d accepted that reported $8 million NIL offer<\/a> from another school this year. Complain about NIL if you want, but it ought to keep kids in school.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The last time I saw a game end like the Giants\u2019 walk-off win Sunday<\/a> over the Rangers, the losers commiserated over juice boxes.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Joc Pederson, who snapped his club-record 0-for-41 streak<\/a> with a double against the A\u2019s, collected a double and triple Sunday against the Giants. He\u2019d obviously been pressing. Someone should have told him a single here and there would work, too.<\/p>\n
