Special Contributor Bob Sturm answered questions in a chat Friday. Here are some highlights.
Question: Are you surprised the Cowboys have taken such a hard line stance on negotiations with Dez and DeMarco? On one hand, I’ve heard people say why now after giving out so many extensions over the years but on the other hand, isn’t it good to see the Cowboys operate this way and being much smarter with their cap?
Bob Sturm: Yes! For sure. Look at the deals they handed out over the years. They gave Marion Barber a 7 year deal for $45m with $16m guaranteed before the 2008 season.
