Last Friday, the Dallas Cowboys overcame what was inarguably the biggest hurdle of their offseason when they locked down DeMarcus Lawrence to a long-term contract extension.
It’s much easier to breathe now with this matter settled as we’re talking about a contractual situation that has gone on for over a year now. It’s a great point of relief for a team that still has multiple contracts that they’ll have to negotiate.
Part of the reason that things were so dicey with this situation is that Lawrence has pending shoulder surgery (which he’s reportedly set to undergo on Wednesday).
