Police in a Dallas suburb are investigating a domestic violence complaint against Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving from a woman who later recanted. Frisco police spokesman Radd Rotello said Monday no arrests have been made. Rotello said a woman identified as Irving's girlfriend called police twice Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to pick up defensive back Byron Jones' fifth-year option before the May 3 deadline, according to an NFL Network report. Jones, 25, is set to make $1.6 million in base salary in 2018, the fourth year of his rookie contract. The 27th overall pick in 2015, Jones played primarily cornerback as a rookie before spending the past two years at safety, but he is expected to move back to corner full time in 2018.

Disgraced former NFL player Greg Hardy will get a serious chance to fight professionally in the UFC, MMA Today reports. Hardy, the former star pass rusher for the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys, has not played football since 2015 when a domestic violence incident forced him out of the league.

The Cowboys lost James Hanna to retirement Friday. Witten insists he’s on board with whatever the Cowboys decide to do in the draft, including taking a player at his position. “I mean, I understand it,” Witten said of the Cowboys potentially drafting a tight end early, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News.

Fomer Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has expressed a desire to remain in the NFC East so he can play his former team two times a year. According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Bryant has been working out the last several days with Beckham’s trainer, Jamal Liggin.

Most smart players realize the longer they’re in the league, the better they have to take care of their body. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said he’s lost 10 pounds since the end of the season, though he hardly seemed heavy to begin with. “I’m getting older,” Prescott told Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Wednesday is the last day that teams can host draft prospects on visits to their facilities and the Cowboys are spending part of it with a player who they’ve shown interest in over the course of the pre-draft process. Head coach Jason Garrett and wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal were at the school’s Pro Day last month to watch Sutton work out. The Cowboys were linked to receivers before releasing Dez Bryant last week and the veteran’s departure has only increased the need for help at the position.

The eight-episode All or Nothing series focusing on the 2017 Dallas Cowboys takes fans behind the curtain on a variety of topics, ranging from the important to the banal. Jones tried to keep the Commissioner from getting a contract extension, which was as a practical matter an effort to replace the Commissioner with someone new. The league and multiple owners believed Jones instigated former Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter to unload on league leadership during a quarterly earnings call regarding the mishandling of the anthem issue.
