This is exactly what the Cowboys should do.
The narrative surrounding the Cowboys’ ability to re-sign their own players in a timely matter was magnified last season.
And rightfully so, considering CeeDee Lamb missed all of training camp with a contract holdout and Dak Prescott didn’t sign his deal until minutes before the Week 1 game in Cleveland.
While the Cowboys’ front office has taken plenty of criticism, both Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have tried to point out – respectfully of course – that it’s a two-way street and that the initial asking prices from Dak and CeeDee caused there to be plenty of back-and-forth negotiations that took plenty of time.
