Why Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn’t worried about current contract impasse with DeMarcus Lawrence

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Cowboys rave about DeMarcus Lawrence and consider him crucial to the team’s defensive identity and success.

The Pro Bowl defensive end wants to return.

Since both sides want the relationship to continue, since the Cowboys have been known to splurge to keep their own, why isn’t a new deal in place? Should alarms sound as April nears without a resolution?

This is a test of the club’s emergency broadcast system. This is only a test.

For now.

Jerry Jones acknowledged potential issues going forward, such as Lawrence’s decision to delay shoulder surgery until a contract is signed.
