The Dallas Cowboys will kick off OTAs on Tuesday. It's the first of three sets of OTAs with the other two taking place on June 2-4 and June 8-10. As you might have guessed, the rumor mill is spinning, so let's take a look at five of the rumors surrounding the Cowboys that you need to know about, as they prepare for OTAs.

There are rumors that say that the Cowboys are interested in every, and any running back that becomes available. Obviously stemming from losing DeMarco Murray in free agency and not taking a running back in the 2015 NFL Draft. I do think they'll make a move for a running back if the price is right, but I highly doubt it will be Ray Rice or any of the bums they kicked the tires on recently.

If the Cowboys took and combined Nick Hayden and Terrell McClain into one player, they might have an average 1-technique defensive tackle on the roster. I've heard talk around the watering hole that the Cowboys might try to upgrade the 1-tech, and honestly, I can't blame them.

Brandon Carr, CB, Dallas Cowboys

Rumor has it that Brandon Carr will be asked to take a pay cut or get cut. We'll know if there's any truth to this rumor once the second wave of OTAs gets here on June 2.

Byron Jones, CB, Dallas Cowboys

There's also a rumor out there that says that Cowboys' first-round cornerback Byron Jones will be playing safety his rookie year. I don't see it happening, but don't count it out, especially if the Cowboys end up keeping Brandon Carr. From what I hear, they're going to give Morris Claiborne every chance to prove himself because the past three years haven't proven that he's a huge bust.

Ronald Leary, LG, Dallas Cowboys

Apparently Ronald Leary has already lost his starting job to undrafted rookie free agent La'el Collins and shouldn't even show up for OTAs. In fact, rumor is that Leary should have his bags packed because he's getting traded.
