The Dallas Cowboys have been notably quiet during the free agency period despite their commitment to going “all in” for the 2024 season.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones explained that the team is focusing on signing their own key players, such as quarterback Dak Prescott, linebacker Micah Parsons, and receiver CeeDee Lamb, which requires careful financial planning.
Jones clarified that while the Cowboys have maxed out their salary cap every year and are keen on retaining their current roster, they also have their eyes set on securing long-term contracts for their star players. The team has already established Prescott’s contract as is for the upcoming season, setting up a crucial year for him to prove himself before potentially hitting free agency in 2025.
As for Lamb and Parsons, the Cowboys are expected to make efforts to keep them on the team, with Parsons likely having his fifth-year option picked up and Lamb’s contract negotiations possibly taking place sooner. Despite the quiet offseason, Jones assured fans that the team is strategically planning for the future and will continue to make moves as needed.
While there may be potential for contract extensions and roster adjustments in the near future, Cowboys supporters are advised to stay patient as the team navigates the complexities of the salary cap and roster management.
The reigning NFC East champions are far from finished with their roster construction, and although the offseason may not have been as eventful as anticipated, there is still work to be done in preparation for the upcoming season.
