Cole Beasley, who may or may not return to the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, was candid while answering questions on Twitter.

The Cowboys let offensive coordinator Scott Linehan go last week and Beasley was asked if that meant he could return to more targets.

"Honestly, the front office pushes who they want to get the ball to," Beasley tweeted. "I haven't been a huge priority in that regard. Maybe that will change but I'm not sure. More balls come my way in 2 minute (sic) drill where nothing is planned.

"I don't need the ball all the time. Just more than 3 targets a game. Is 5 to 8 targets a game at least too much to ask?"

Beasley's targets dropped from 6.14 per game to 4.45 when the Cowboys traded a first-round pick for Amari Cooper.

DeMarcus Lawrence played the 2018 season under the franchise tag and the Dallas Cowboys have become "more comfortable" with awarding him a long-term deal.

The defensive end followed up his 14.5 sacks in 2017 with 64 tackles, 10.5 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles this season.

"I wouldn't say we were a long ways apart; we were apart," Stephen Jones said. "Certainly DeMarcus has done his part to make us feel more comfortable. He put together now two back-to-back, double-digit sack seasons. Of course he's a leader by example. … Nothing's changed in terms of my opinion, except for the better."

CBS is preparing to offer Tony Romo a substantial raise before he becomes a free agent.

Romo has one more season remaining on his three-year contract that is paying him approximately $4 million per year.

Romo is likely to become the highest paid NFL analyst.

Jon Gruden was paid $6.5 million by ESPN, but that number grew every year that Gruden did not leave to coach. 

CBS is the favorite to keep Romo.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to hire Jon Kitna as their new quarterbacks coach.

Kitna is currently offensive coordinator for the San Diego Fleet in the Alliance of American Football.

Dallas' current QB coach, Kellen Moore, is a leading candidate to become the Cowboys' offensive coordinator, according to sources.

The Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with Scott Linehan as offensive coordinator.

The Cowboys will move ahead with a different playcaller for the first time since 2014.

"This was not an easy decision because of how highly we regard Scott Linehan as a football coach and as a person. He and I had some really positive, substantive and open discussions which took place in the latter part of this week, and we ultimately agreed that it would be in the best interest of all of the parties involved if we were to make a change at this position," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said in a statement.

"This was very much a mutual decision, and there was a great deal of common ground and shared understanding between both of us during our meetings. Scott has had an incredibly positive impact on our football team. He has been instrumental in the development and success of a significant number of our veteran and younger players. He is an outstanding football coach, a great friend and we wish him and his family nothing but the absolute best moving forward."
