The Dallas Morning News reports that the Cowboys have no less than 13 restricted free agents coming up next month:

The Cowboys have 13 restricted free agents entering 2010, and if they want to tender all of them they will have to fork over more than $1 million to each player/ At the top of the list is wide receiver Miles Austin, who made $1.545 million in 2009 with the second-round tender.

The wife of former Cowboys tight end Jay Novacek has been found dead in a home. Burleson spokeswoman Sally Ellertson says police in the Fort Worth suburb responded to a call of a possible suicide early Monday.

The Tarrant County medical examiner identified the woman as 45-year-old LeAnne Novacek, 45, whose home address was listed in the nearby town of Joshua. Authorities haven’t said how she died but are investigating.

Jay Novacek starred for the Cowboys in 1990-96 and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame last summer.

Jerry Jones must have been impressed with the noise in Minnesota a few weeks back, as he is already saying he wants more noise into the Cowboys new stadium next year:

The noise at Mall of America Field made an impression on Jerry Jones. Look for it to lead to changes at Cowboys Stadium next season. “I got taught something there in Minnesota about how to coach up the defense to deal with noise,” Jones said of the playoff loss. “We want one of those perfect records at our place, too.” The Vikings were undefeated at home during the regular season and playoffs thanks in part to the advantage the defense gets in the ability to anticipate the snap count in a loud environment. “That was a difference maker up there,” Jones said. “I was visiting with Charles Haley and some of the guys and boy, they were talking about how the players can get off on defense is just different when you have that kind of edge. All I’ve got to say is I want to get me some of that.”

ESPN.com reports that DeMarcus Ware made the NFL’s 2000 All-Decade Team:

Cowboys outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware was selected as a member of the NFL’s 2000s All-Decade team, chosen by the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee. The complete team will be revealed during a special Pro Bowl edition of ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown (4:30 p.m. CT). Ware, a four-time Pro Bowler, is the only Cowboy.

The Cowboys don’t expect to do much wheeling and dealing and are thinking they will stay at #27 in the 2010 NFL Draft:

Cowboys Owner/General manager Jerry Jones wants to stay right where the Cowboys are for their first-round pick, the 27th choice overall. Jones said he does not envision moving up or down with the club’s first pick in the draft. He attributed that to the depth of talented underclassmen in the draft, the Cowboys can get quality with the 27th choice and the kind of quality that can make a difference for a team that reached the final eight this season.

The Star-Telegram feels that the Cowboys will be looking OLine when it comes to April’s draft:

Flozell Adams has played 12 seasons and will turn 35 in May but even if he plays another season or two, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones lists “offensive line depth” as the most important need. In early mock drafts by draft analysts on ESPN and NFL.com, five to seven offensive tackles are projected for the first round and names mentioned possibly being drafted by Dallas are Maryland’s Bruce Campbell (6-foot-7, 310) and Iowa’s Bryan Bulaga (6-6, 312). When Marc Colombo missed seven games with injury, Doug Free was an effective replacement, but the Cowboys still need depth.
