Mailbag: What Would A Dez Deal Mean For Cowboys' Other Big Contracts?

MATTHEW DOULL

Would it be smart to let Dez walk after the franchise tag this year and use that money to retain the offensive line, such as Travis Frederick and Zack Martin?

David: I get your point that it’s going to be difficult to give big contracts to all three, but I don’t necessarily think you have to say it’s either/or. Center and guard are not the most lucrative positions in football, and there’s also the benefit of the ever-increasing salary cap. I’m not interested in letting Dez go any time soon, and if I absolutely have to part ways with him, I’d make sure it’s not until after the 2016 season.
