While the Dallas Cowboys have made some fairly minor moves this offseason, the big news for them is the deal that didn’t happen: No new contract with DeMarcus Lawrence, who now is looking askance at the franchise tag that has been placed on him. He wants more money, the team wants to hold his cost down, and they failed to find any middle ground. It has been shaping up all along as a long, hard road to any long-term contract.
And it just got a lot harder. Recent developments have given Lawrence more reason to hold out as long as he can for every dollar he can get.
