Sunrise in the NFC East: The Division's Top Links on June 4, 2012

All four NFC East teams are back on the practice field today for the first of four organized team activities. Here's the latest buzz as we jump into June in the NFL's most popular division.

Dallas Cowboys

Josh Ellis of DallasCowboys.com wonders which veteran Cowboy will become the next cap casualty in Dallas. He mentions Miles Austin, Doug Free, Jason Witten and Jay Ratliff, among others.

Anthony Spencer talks about wanting a long-term deal with the Cowboys, per Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. Don't we all. Assuming he doesn't sign this offseason, Spencer will probably have to improve his sack numbers in 2012, or he might be disappointed by what he fetches on the open market in 2013.

New York Giants

Paul Tierney of Giants 101 has three primary reasons why 2012 will be Osi Umenyiora's last season with the Giants. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion now that, barring a dramatic turn of events, Osi finally hits free agency in 2013.

Umenyiora can focus on football now for the first time in years. The peace of mind (via NJ.com) could lead to bigger and better things for the Giants pass rush.

Philadelphia Eagles

DeSean Jackson won't be practicing with the Eagles this week due to a "family matter," according to Philly.com.

Dave Spadaro of PhiladelphiaEagles.com writes that he's having trouble finding an area of weakness in rookie linebacker Mychal Kendricks' game. He also says he'll also be "shocked" if Nate Allen doesn't have a fantastic season. Large expectations for that defense.

Washington Redskins

Rich Tandler of CSN Washington wonders if Jim Haslett will spend some time looking over his shoulder at new defensive backs coach Raheem Morris, who's been making waves early on.

Back from a torn ACL, is Jarvis Jenkins ready to pick up where he left off as a newfound sensation in Washington (per The Washington Post)?
