OXNARD, Calif. — Every July, the Dallas Cowboys' future is filtered through a tapestry of numbers.
How many free agents were signed? What extensions were achieved? How many years remain on the head coach’s contract? How much money is left under the salary cap? And of course, the unyielding accounting of how many years it has been since that last Super Bowl win (28 and counting).
Now we can add this: How long the staring match is going to last between the team and two of its three biggest stars — quarterback Dak Prescott, who is actively practicing in training camp, and wideout CeeDee Lamb, who was nowhere near Oxnard, California, during Thursday’s first camp practice.
