IRVING, Texas – The narrative had already been crafted before offseason practices even began.
Having lost Jermey Parnell in free agency, the Cowboys spent a third-round pick on Chaz Green to help fill the hole at swing tackle, and to grow into a future starter. That narrative took an even loftier turn when La’el Collins signed on, giving the team a first-round talent to use at either guard, tackle – or both.
Darrion Weems didn’t quite fit into that narrative – fortunately for him, he wasn’t listening to it in the first place.
