The Dallas Cowboys and fifth-round draft pick Pat Watkins agreed to terms Wednesday on a four-year deal worth about $1.69 million. Watkins, a free safety from Florida State, reportedly will receive a base salary of $275,000 this season. The deal calls for him to collect $360,000, $445,000 and $530,000 in the remaining years.

The Cowboys, around $12 million under the salary cap, have had talks with Pro Bowl safety Roy Williams regarding an extension, and Jerry Jones said they would like to have a deal done before the season ends. Williams is also scheduled to be a free agent after this season.

Only 24 and already having two Pro Bowl trips under his belt, the Dallas Cowboys made sure tight end Jason Witten stayed with the team throughout his prime with a new six-year extension Saturday. Witten's deal is worth a total of $28 million in which $12 million of that is bonus money, tops for any tight end in the game. In three years with the Cowboys, Witten has 188 catches for 2,084 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Dallas safety Keith Davis checked out of the hospital Tuesday, recovering nicely from two gunshot wounds and optimistic about making the start of training camp late next week. "No one has said he's not going," agent Curtis Stephens said. "Our belief is that he is going to Oxnard, Calif., with the rest of the team. Medically, no one has said Keith will be unable to play football."

Cowboys safety Keith Davis was shot twice while driving on a Dallas highway early Sunday and was hospitalized in stable condition after undergoing surgery to remove bullet fragments. His agent, Curtis Stephens, said the injuries were minor and that Davis expected to be released late Sunday or Monday. "He's going to fully recover and he's in good spirits," Stephens said. "Everything is being done on a precautionary basis. Two physicians both gave him a thumbs up. ... If camp opened tomorrow, he'd like to think he'd be there tomorrow."

The Cowboys' Terrell Owens says plenty in his new book. Except for one word he now claims he didn't say. But making a big deal of an apparent misquotation, despite the sentence being written in the first-person, is the kind of media nitpicking Owens would lament in his 242-page book that mostly offers his side of two tumultuous seasons with the Eagles. In "T.O.", which debuted last week, Owens likens former teammate Donovan McNabb to a bully who spat in his mouth as a teenager while he innocently slept on a school bus.
