Cowboys set report date for Oxnard camp: July 24
STORY TOOLS 
More from NFLTony Romo, Terrell Owens and the rest of the Dallas Cowboys will report to training camp in Oxnard on July 24 and begin their three-week practice schedule on July 25.
The Cowboys are returning to Oxnard's River Ridge complex because of a scheduling conflict with the Alamodome in San Antonio. The team will resume its five-year camp contract with San Antonio next year.
The Cowboys last trained here in 2006.
The team is tentatively scheduled to leave Oxnard on Aug. 12 for Denver, where they'll practice with the Broncos for two days before playing a preseason game on Aug. 16.
Dallas won the NFC East title last year with a 13-3 mark, and figure to be a favorite to win the NFC title.
Agent: Ravens, Suggs agree on franchise tag: The Baltimore Ravens have reached a compromise with franchise player Terrell Suggs, his agent said.
Suggs filed a grievance against the team in March after the Ravens tagged him with the one-year, $8.065 million linebacker tag. He was seeking to be paid the defensive end franchise designation of $8,879,000.
Now Suggs will be paid a one-year tender worth nearly $8.5 million as a hybrid defensive end/linebacker, according to his agent, Gary Wichard. The compromise was prompted by a suggestion from Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome to jump-start stalled negotiations.
The NFL Players Association and the NFL Management Council are still working out the final details of the new designation.
As an unsigned franchise player, Suggs hasn't been required to attend offseason minicamps. Although Suggs showed up for coach John Harbaugh's first minicamp practice as a gesture of goodwill, he wasn't allowed to practice due to league regulations regarding unsigned players.
The 2003 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year filed a grievance March 5, claiming he played more than half of his snaps at defensive end last year. Suggs has 45 career sacks and is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, but he slumped to a career-low five sacks last season while notching a career-high 80 tackles.
The Ravens have been trying to negotiate a long-term contract with Suggs since last year.
