NFC East Notes: Cowboys, Wilson, Eagles

We now have some details on the arrest of Cowboys linebacker Damien Wilson, via Amanda Guerra of KRLD (Twitter links). Wilson was looking for place to park for Fourth of July festivities while a group of tailgaters were taking up several spaces. After he asked to park, an argument broke out between him and the group. He then backed his truck into the parking space and intentionally hit a person in the process, police say. At some point during the kerfuffle, Wilson produced a gun. The 24-year-old is facing two counts of aggravated assault with deadly weapon.

Here’s more from the NFC East:

• The Eagles need linebacker Nigel Bradham on the field in order for things to run properly on defense, Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes. Unfortunately, his availability is in question thanks to the brawl he got into last summer. Bradham will likely avoid jail time thanks to a deferred prosecution agreement struck before the holiday, but the NFL has been known to come down on players with suspensions even when the situations are largely cleared by the courts. Bradham, who will turn 28 in September, is on the backend of a two-year, $7MM deal he signed with Philly last year. If he can’t keep his off-the-field affairs in check, Brookover fears he might not be long for the Eagles.
• The addition of Brandon Marshall gives the Giants the best overall group of wide receivers in the NFC East, Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News writes. The Giants’ big three youngsters Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard, and Marshall, he argues, gives them a leg up over the Cowboys with Dez Bryant, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley. The Eagles, with the free agent addition of Alshon Jeffery, finished third on Machota’s list. The Redskins, who replaced Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson with Terrelle Pryor and Brian Quick, came in last.
