The NFL offseason provides players and coaches with the time to grow as they strive to improve for the next season. One Dallas Cowboys coach has not wasted any time in trying to further his career.

America’s Team started their first set of OTAs since the NFL Draft on May 22 and concluded them yesterday.

This was the first time the Cowboys rookies were able to familiarize themselves in a professional environment, alongside the veterans.

CeeDee Lamb persists in staying away from the OTAs as he demands a new deal

Nonetheless, the offseason is also a no-show period for numerous players around the league. It presents a time to show true intentions and some Cowboys players have taken the chance.

CeeDee Lamb continues to hold out from the voluntary workouts. The 25-year-old held out from the OTA before the NFL Draft and continues to hold strong.

A mandatory minicamp is set to take place for the Cowboys on June 6 and run for three days. Lamb does not have to be present for the voluntary practices but will show his true intentions come the mandatory camps.

Moreover, it is more or less guaranteed that the wide receiver will refuse to show up for compulsory training and leverage a record-breaking deal.

Micah Parsons decides that training privately is the best choice for him

Micah Parsons has not been present at the latest OTAs but this is because he is set on following his personal training routine.

Both players are due to receive major contracts as they creep closer to the expiration of their rookie deals.

However, there was also a coach that was not in Dallas for the recent OTAs.

Tight end coach Lunda Wells joins NFL program to pursue the dream of being a head coach

Tight end coach Lunda Wells had been participating in one of the latest NFL programs to pursue his wider career goals.

Wells is one of 28 assistant coaches who are participating in the NFL minority accelerator program during the spring meeting in Nashville this week.

Furthermore, the program is an excellent opportunity for the coaches to network with franchises and owners. Coaches can build closer connections with the team owners and their executives and hone their leadership skills.

Wells has the dream of being a head coach one day, which could be very beneficial to the Dallas Cowboys in the future.

“It’s a great opportunity to grow and learn from other people,” Wells said on the NFL program via Cowboys reporter Clarence Hill.

“It’s always been inside my mind to be a head coach. It’s always been a goal of mine to be a leader of men. This is an opportunity to grow and know what they (teams) are looking for in a head coach.”

Wells served in various roles with the New York Giants before moving to Dallas

Before Wells moved to Dallas, he served as the tight end coach for their NFC East rival the New York Giants.

Before that, he served as their assistant offensive line coach and offensive quality of control coach.

Wells has the end goal in sight of being the head coach and credits the Cowboys for giving him the chance to live his dream.
