Sunrise in the NFC East: The Division's Top Links on May 29, 2012

Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington are back on the field for organized team activities today, with the Giants getting a longer Memorial Day weekend and returning to voluntary work on Wednesday. With that in mind, here are the top stories surrounding the division as we begin a short work week.

Dallas Cowboys

We continue to hear that Mike Jenkins isn't going anywhere, which makes sense in a pass-heavy division within a pass-heavy league. And as NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports, it wouldn't be far-fetched to see the Cowboys put four corners on the field on a regular basis. 

Jason Garrett is the worst coach in the NFC East, while Tom Coughlin is the best in the league, according to SportingNews.com.

New York Giants

A little late on this, but it turns out Charlie Sheen didn't buy Lawrence Taylor's Super Bowl ring earlier this month. Nope, some other rich guy with more money than he knows what to do with spent more than $230,000 on a piece of jewelry he didn't earn.

ESPN's Dan Graziano wants to know if Hakeem Nicks is now officially injury prone. Nicks has yet to make it through a full season three years into his career, but he isn't expected to miss much time—if any—this year, despite the foot injury. As long as he remains as productive as he's been, the G-men can live with him missing a game or two per year.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane has a nice look at Nnamdi Asomugha's somewhat turbulent first season in Philly. It's also a pretty in-depth feature with some cool tidbits about a fascinating man.

Dave Spadaro of PhiladelphiaEagles.com looks at the team's quiet, confident approach to this season, noting that leadership will be improved with the addition of DeMeco Ryans. 

Trent Cole tells the Inquirer's Jonathan Tamari that he wants to rack up 18 sacks in 2012. That'll be tough, because there are only so many sacks to go around and a lot of good pass-rushers. That said, I still think Cole was the team's defensive MVP last season.

Washington Redskins

Rich Tandler writes that the Redskins shouldn't be overly preoccupied with winning the division or gaining the top seed. Instead, the goal should just be to make the Wild Card cut. Recent history indicates that could be all it takes.
