The Dallas Cowboys have finally made a big offseason move Tremaine Youth Edmunds Youth Jersey , signing former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver, Allen Hurns - according to聽Josina Anderson of ESPN:WR Allen Hurns just told me, 鈥淚鈥檓 going to sign with Dallas.鈥?#Cowboys— Josina Anderson (@JosinaAnderson) March 23, 2018NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added that it's a two-year contract for Hurns, who spent his first four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was released by the team earlier in the week, following a down year.Hurns had just 39 catches for 484 yards and two touchdowns in 2017, though the Jaguars did reach the AFC Championship Game. He's two years removed from a big 2015 season, where Hurns caught 64 passes for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns. Hurns has come nowhere close to those numbers since.But he should get a chance to his old form with the Dallas Cowboys Leonard Williams Jersey Youth , who boast a top quarterback in Dak Prescott, 2016 rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott, Pro Bowl wideout Dez Bryant and future Hall of Famer tight end, Jason Witten.The Cowboys finished just 9-7 and missed the playoffs in 2017, as Elliott's suspension and a sophomore slump for Prescott contributed to a down year. With the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl and the New York Giants signing big free agents, the Cowboys had to make a splash. Some of Hurns' struggles can be attributed to injury, as he's missed nine games over the past two years. Quarterback Blake Bortles also struggled at times in 2016 and '17 as well, which obviously affected some of Hurns' production.The Cowboys generally own one of the best offenses in football, and the addition of Hurns - a speedy threat who is dangerous over the middle of the field - should only boost it in 2018. The NFC East is known for its high-powered offenses Dak Prescott Jersey Elite , and the rich only got richer in this case.If Hurns can regain his 2015 form, then he'll set himself up nicely for a big pay day in 2020 free agency. Kemba Walker knows his future with the Charlotte Hornets is up in the air.
But the two-time All-Star said he’s not going to spend the offseason dwelling on where he’ll be playing next season.
Walker has one year remaining on a four-year, $48 million contract and while he’d like to remain with the Hornets – where he’s the franchise’s all-time leading scorer – he knows nothing is for certain after a second straight non-playoff season prompted team owner Michael Jordan to hire Mitch Kupchak as the new general manager.
That means that if Kupchak decides a massive rebuilding project is in order, Walker could be the first one out the door given he’s the team’s biggest bargaining chip and has a favorable contract.
”I have no idea,” Walker said Wednesday regarding his future after Charlotte’s regular season finale. ”That is out of my control. I am just going to focus on getting better as a player. That is really all you can do. I don’t know what they are going to do.”
The 6-foot-1 Walker is coming off three tremendous seasons in Charlotte where he has averaged more than 20 points and five assists per game.
Walker, who led Connecticut to a national championship, has never won a playoff series since his arrival in Charlotte six seasons ago.
Kupchak offered no hints over the team’s plans with Walker during an introductory press conference on Tuesday.
”My understanding is he is great in the locker room and great in the community,’ Kupchak said. ”I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to have a player like that going forward.”
Other things to know about the Hornets heading into the offseason:
NOT GOING THERE: While some other star players have been outspoken about what their team needs personnel-wise to get better, Walker refused to go down that path. ”I don’t want to answer that question because it could get real ugly Mike McGlinchey Jersey Limited ,” Walker said. ”I will leave it up to the guys upstairs.”
CLIFFORD’S FUTURE: Coach Steve Clifford said he felt this was the most talented team he’s had with the Hornets, which made finishing 10 games under .500 all the more disappointing. His future with the team remains uncertain after his teams have failed to get out of the first round of the playoffs the last five seasons.
”The NBA is about winning in the playoffs, so if you want to look back at our five years I do feel very good about where we are and how we are perceived versus where it was five years ago,” Clifford said. ”We made great gains. To be relevant and respected in this league is a long way from where we started.”
HOWARD’S BIG SEASON: Hornets center Dwight Howard enjoyed an impressive bounce back season with Charlotte individually, averaging 16.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots in 81 games after struggling to find his way in Houston and Atlanta the previous two years resulting in him being traded twice. ”This year really showed a lot of people this guy really takes this game seriously,” said Howard, who finished with a franchise-record 53 double-doubles.
PLAYING WITH HOWARD: While Howard excelled, several players had to learn to adjust their games to play with him Frank Ragnow Lions Jersey , including Nic Batum. He excelled with Cody Zeller in the pick-and-roll the previous seasons, but Batum spent more time dumping the ball to Howard in the low post and said he had to adjust his own game to play with Howard.
”I thought I feed him the ball a lot inside and play through him because he’s so big and has so much potential inside,” Batum said. ”If you have a guy like that you have to use him. … Did I give up a lot of my game? Yes, maybe. But I don’t care as long as it is good for the team.”
HORNETS LACKED SPIRIT: One overriding theme of Clifford’s post-season press conference was that he felt his team lacked ”spirit” this season. ”We’ve always had spirit,” Clifford said, ”but we didn’t have that this year. Some games (we did). But not nearly the togetherness, the spirit that we’ve had for years. And they know that. I’ve let them know. So you do have to look at that and I don’t know what the answer is. But it has to start with me.”
