Terrance Williams - WR - Cowboys

Cowboys signed No. 74 overall pick WR Terrance Williams to a four-year contract.

The seventh receiver off the board, Williams will compete with Dwayne Harris for No. 3 duties. Williams was initially considered a lock to pencil himself in behind Dez Bryant and Miles Austin, but has underwhelmed in the Cowboys' offseason program. A seam-stretcher despite so-so speed (4.52), Williams is expected to kick Miles into the slot in three-receiver sets if he can beat out Harris. The Cowboys offense has proven it can produce three fantasy-relevant receivers, but we wouldn't count on Williams making a major roto impact as a rookie.

Anthony Spencer - DL - Cowboys

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports long-term talks between the Cowboys and franchise player LE Anthony Spencer have been "cordial and productive," and that a deal is possible before next month's deadline.

Per La Canfora, the sides have been "exchanging proposals for quite some time." Owner Jerry Jones rarely lets his own players get away, and is likely even more desperate than usual to lock Spencer up after franchising him in back-to-back years. There's a good chance Spencer will be reporting to camp with a fresh new extension.

Danny Coale - WR - Cowboys

Cowboys WR Danny Coale (ACL) is targeting training camp for a full return to practice.

Coale blew out his knee last November. During OTAs and minicamp, he mostly went through his rehab routine on the side. He needs to be on the field come August to earn a roster spot as insurance in the slot.

Tyrone Crawford - DL - Cowboys

Tyrone Crawford is playing defensive end in the Cowboys' new 4-3 alignment.

In Rob Ryan's 3-4, Crawford bulked up and played on the inside against guards. Now, he's slimmed down to 285 pounds and will rush the passer from the edge. It's the same position Crawford played at Boise State, when he racked up 13.5 sacks and 27 tackles for a loss over his two seasons.

Miles Austin - WR - Cowboys

The Cowboys held Miles Austin out of some minicamp practices in order to protect his hamstrings.

Austin was feeling good and wanted to practice, but the Cowboys' trainers were wary of overworking. Austin has dealt with hamstring trouble in each of the last two seasons, in part leading to six games missed and just 58.5 yards per day during that span. This year, he will head to training camp at 100 percent as the No. 3 option in the passing game.

Joseph Randle - RB - Cowboys

The Cowboys reportedly believe fifth-round pick Joseph Randle can be a "full-time back" if DeMarco Murray suffers another injury.

Also injury prone in college, Murray has missed nine games through two NFL seasons. While we weren't fans of Randle's college tape -- he is straight-linish and not particularly elusive or explosive -- he's going to be a worthy handcuff for drafters of Murray. Randle can get what's blocked and catch the ball.

Travis Frederick - C - Cowboys

Cowboys OC Bill Callahan came away impressed with first-round C Travis Frederick's spring.

"One of the traits that we identified early was his ability to communicate, his retention of the system, his ability to communicate it out," Callahan said. Coach Jason Garrett agrees. "For a young guy, he really seems to grasp what we’re trying to get accomplished in a short period of time." Frederick is locked into a starting job.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

ESPN Dallas considers Will Allen the favorite to be the Cowboys' starting free safety.

Allen, 31 on Monday, signed a one-year deal in March, and he has 33 career starts under his belt through nine seasons. The veteran will face competition from second-year S Matt Johnson, but Johnson wasn't overly impressive in OTAs and minicamp. Barry Church has a firm grip on the strong safety spot.

Sean Lee - LB - Cowboys

Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones confirms the team will look into a contract extension for MLB Sean Lee.

"Historically, we look at guys going into the last years of their contracts," Jones said. "Sean is going into the last year of his contract, so that’s probably something we’ll look at." Lee has one year left on his rookie deal at $630,000. He's been a full participant in offseason practices.

DeMarco Murray - RB - Cowboys

DeMarco Murray said his hamstring is back to full strength.

Murray missed a few OTAs in May with a minor strain. It became a news story due to his injury history, but it's water under the bridge now. Murray will head into camp at 100 percent.

Dez Bryant - WR - Cowboys

Dez Bryant said he's focusing on improving his release from the line of scrimmage this offseason.

"I am trying to find new ways to come off the ball," Bryant said. "I just want more than one release." It's comforting that we're discussing Dez's on-field work in June instead of some silly off-field issue. He's reportedly been the Cowboys' best player through OTAs/minicamp, and has kept his nose squeaky clean. A case can certainly be made for Dez as fantasy's No. 2 wideout, just behind Calvin Johnson.

Tony Romo - QB - Cowboys

Tony Romo (back) is throwing passes and participating in the walkthrough portions of minicamp.

Romo's recovery time was initially supposed to be three weeks, but the team is proceeding cautiously with its franchise quarterback. Coach Jason Garrett said he's "made a lot of progress," but added the team is "erring on the side of caution." Romo is expected to be 100 percent before the start of training camp.

Anthony Spencer - DL - Cowboys

Cowboys LE Anthony Spencer is sitting out minicamp with a hyperextended left knee he suffered in OTAs.

Spencer bumped knees with someone last week. He'll try to practice on Wednesday, but Dallas has little to gain by pushing its franchise player. He'll likely sit out until training camp, where he should be 100 percent.

Josh Brent - DL - Cowboys

According to ESPN's Ed Werder, the Cowboys still believe that NT Josh Brent will contribute on the field one day.

Brent, accused of driving drunk and testing positive for marijuana during the accident that caused teammate Jerry Brown's death, is awaiting trial on manslaughter charges. Even if he's found not guilty, the league will likely suspend him for a year. But the Cowboys apparently think that it's possible Brent can contribute in 2014 or beyond, so he stays on the roster.

Jeris Pendleton - DL - Cowboys

Cowboys signed DT Jeris Pendleton, formerly of the Jaguars.

Pendleton, 30 in November, was a seventh-round pick of the Jaguars last year. He was cut by Jacksonville last month, and is a roster long shot in Big D.
