Yesterday, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones affirmed that new contract deals with key offensive weapons Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, and Zeke Elliott “will happen.” That’s incredible news for the Washington Redskins, and frankly, the other teams in the NFC East.
While the Cowboys currently have about $24M in cap space in 2019, that is massively assisted by the fact that Dak is currently being paid about $2M per year, still on his rookie deal. Zeke - currently holding out for new contract - is poised to make about $8M this year, in the 4th year of his rookie contract, and Cooper is slated to make about $14M in the 5th year option of his rookie deal.
