What the extensions for the Dolphins and Packers reveal about the Cowboys’ contract talks
Talks about quarterback contracts seem to go on forever these days.
The Cowboys have a few elite players that are awaiting new contracts, in case you missed it. Although Oxnard’s training camp has begun, the controversy around Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons’ contracts has dominated much of the offseason.
The puzzle received a lot of attention on the first day of camp because everyone had a lot of questions for Jerry and Stephen Jones. The two men in charge responded mostly in the same way as they have during the offseason, adding a few additional words:
The Joneses’ primary talking points were basically the same old same old: it’s tough because of the salary cap, and it’s very difficult to have three elite players who all demand top-market compensation at the same time. Jerry Jones even went so far as to suggest that it might not be possible to form a complete team after signing these three players at this time.
These arguments have been refuted by others. When it comes to roster building, Jason Fitzgerald of Over the Cap outlined one of the main reasons that sets the Cowboys apart from the majority of the NFL.
