Many teams around the NFL are still looking to add free agents with the season right around the corner. Most of the top-end free agents have already been signed, but some potential impact players are still on the market. The New York Jets are one of the teams that could look to land some of those players.
It’s uncertain if Joe Douglas plans on adding more, but if he feels that the Jets need to make another addition, they have the resources to do so.
One former New York player, Carl Lawson, is working out for a different team. According to Todd Archer of ESPN, Lawson is working out for the Dallas Cowboys.
“The Cowboys are working out some pass rushers Thursday in the wake of Sam Williams knee injury, including veteran Carl Lawson, who played in Cincinnati for Mike Zimmer, according to a source.”

Unlike the Jets, the Cowboys had one of the quietest offseasons in the NFL. In fact, many around the NFL believe that it was one of the worst in the league. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, similar to New York, there was much more that could’ve and should’ve been done.
Adding Lawson doesn’t necessarily help with that, but there was a point in his career where he was an above-average player. In the 2022 season, he posted seven sacks and 33 combined tackles, playing in 17 games.
Lawson, who played the last two years with the Jets on a three-year, $45 million deal in the 2021 offseason, tore his Achilles in August of 2021 and missed his first year with the team.
After impressing during the 2022 campaign, he didn’t see much action in 2023 due to a back injury limiting his time. He played in just six games, finishing with five tackles and zero sacks.
He’s the type of player who could’ve made an impact for New York, but with how elite their defense is and not having a place to play, it made sense why they decided not to bring him back.

If the 29-year-old can stay on the field, there’s a chance that he could have another productive year. Unfortunately, he hasn’t proven to be able to do so throughout two of the past three seasons, which is certainly a worry. Hopefully, for his sake, he’ll get another chance with a team like Dallas and have a chance to compete for a Super Bowl and get playing time.
According to the Chinese New Year, 2025 was the year of the snake, and Dallas shed more than its fair share of restaurants and bars.

We actually started off on a high note with the closure of Salt Bae’s restaurant, Nusr-Et, which had the audacity to charge upwards of $1,000 for a steak.
After that, local favorites started dropping like flies. Many leases seemed to come to an end with an increase in demand for space sending rent skyrocketing. Along with rising food costs, local restaurants are taking a hit.
It’s not all bad, though. Peppered into the mix are some restaurants and bars in Dallas that closed, but were remodeled and reimagined into new concepts. Others are looking for new spaces with lower rent. The rest, however, are gone for good.
The beginning of this year will likely be no better than the last, and it’s as good a time as ever to get out and support your favorite local spots. Money tight? We know where to go.
These are all the Dallas restaurants that closed in 2025.
Dallas Mavericks star big man Anthony Davis might be facing season-ending left hand surgery after being injured in Thursday night’s game against the Utah Jazz, ESPN reported on Friday.
Davis reportedly underwent an MRI exam on Friday that showed ligament damage in the hand. Davis reportedly will seek a second opinion to see if surgery is needed.
ESPN reported Davis would miss at least six weeks if surgery is avoided.
Davis was injured with 2:52 left in the 116-114 loss while defending Utah star Lauri Markkanen on a drive to the basket. Davis was in obvious pain after the play and left the contest with 2:08 remaining after he was holding the hand and unable to defend Markkanen’s next basket.

The timing of the injury could affect Dallas’ trade plans. The club reportedly planned to shop Davis prior to the 5 February trade deadline.
Davis hasn’t even been with the Mavericks for a year yet. He came over in the controversial and disastrous deal in which star Luka Dončić was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Davis, who turns 33 in March, is making $54.1m this season. He is due to make $58.5m next season and has a player option for $62.8m in 2027-28.
Davis has played in just 29 games for the Mavericks – nine last season and 20 this season.
He is averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots this season. He is a 10-time All-Star.
Dallas Police Central Business District officers recovered 39 bags of crack cocaine during an arrest Tuesday.
The officers, working with the U.S. Marshal’s North Texas Fugitive Task Force, seized the drugs when they arrested 40-year-old Velisa Purvis, who was wanted on four outstanding felony warrants.
Officers spotted Purvis in the 1500 block of Garrett Avenue near Old East Dallas and took her into custody.
In addition to the cocaine, officers recovered two bags of suspected methamphetamine, drug packaging, money and marijuana.
