FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have made no secret about their wishes. They want to sign Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons to contract extensions.

It was something they used to do routinely with players they wanted to keep off the free agent market. As recently as 2019, they signed DeMarcus Lawrence, Jaylon Smith, La'el Collins and eventually Ezekiel Elliott to extensions. Prior to that, stars like DeMarcus Ware, Jason Witten, Tony Romo and Terence Newman rarely sniffed the open market, signing deals most of the time before their contracts expired.
